David Bitterman? Spurned Host Rips McCain

David Letterman absolutely tore John McCain a new one on Wednesday's show, after McCain supposedly called Dave at the last minute to cancel his appearance because he had to "race to the airport" to go watch after our crappy economy.

But here's the kicker: Later on, Dave cut to live footage of Johnny boy getting his makeup done for an interview with Katie Couric -- only a couple blocks away from Dave's studio and far from an airport.

After Dave busted McCain with his pants down, he used the opportunity to rail his elder some more.

46. LMAO You tell'em Dave...What a liar...he could've just said he had something else to do that was of great importance, but instead he lied about him having to rush to the airport...Way to go Dave for exposing McCain for the liar that he is...

47. I really can't believe how gullible the American public is. The Federal Reserve is just sitting back and watching their ultimate aim come to fruition. McCain isn't and can't do diddle. Both he and Bush have been telling u how grt everything is and was....now they r in a sink or swim position and Bush couldn't give a crap either at the end of the day., Obama will have a tough job ahead of him whipping up all the old greedy fools in Washington and Wall street. But he is ur only chance. What Obama wants, he will get and already Bush and McCain r yapping abt wht he has been saying all along. Letterman is right.

50. David the way you treat your guests they all should cancel.

51. Dave needs to GET OVER HIMSELF. Stop thinking you are so self important, when there are real issues that are worth addressing. Unlike watching your show. A presidential candidate has more important things to worry about than appearing on his weak show which is so biased already anyway, why should he even bother? He shouldn't. Nicely done McCain!

53. McCain and Palin lie every single day. Every day they get caught in a new lie. This is truly amazing. Two pathetic losers who can't be trusted.

54. Here's the thing, the liberal are realist, the conservatives believe they are the moral majority. The think the liberals are runned by the media, while they are runned by God. That they are the pure party. But here's the deal, the Johovah witness's or maybe its teh 7th day adventist, who believes they are the purest of all, and believe that their God will always take care of them, don't even vote. Most people think that that is crazy, along with their religion.
So I would rather be a realist, instead of a naive loyalist. I am a thinker and not a follower.
Dave Letterman, has always been his own person, never a follower, and that is why he is Dave, because he could care less what the rest of us think. Read the latest issue of Rolling Stone, and you will just realize how smart he is. He is having the last laugh!!

58. George Dubya caused us eight years of hell that resulted in economic ruin and now McCain wants to continue that legacy?

No Thanks.

We need Change. Change we can believe in. YES WE CAN.

59. Oh boo-hoo Dave, it's not like this is the first time a guest cancelled on you. Give me a break. All you wanted him on the show for was to do "The View" part 2 on him anyway. I don't know what you are all upset about, I am SURE your good buddy Barack could have filled in, and he would have been easy to contact, just pull your nose OUT OF HIS ASS DAVE and ask him.
