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.

65. By the way: How is Obama fixing the economy? Is he thinking of utilizing all the money he gets from the terrorist countries? He is a Muslim and racist! He is a hypocrite pretending to like the White people when there are facts showing the hatred towards white with his old minister. PLEASE people WAKE UP and smell the truth

67. Typical Republican game plan. Sarah Palin has disastrous interview with Katie Couric. McCain Campaign panics. Calls press conference to announce "suspension of campaign" to deflect media from ugly CBS interview. McCain runs back to Couric to sit for an interview TO REPLACE the failed interview Palin gave.

69. Please, we only have Dave's word that McCain said he had to leave right away. Letterman is a bitter far-left moonbat and I wouldn't trust his word on this at all.

71. McCAIN AND NO-BAMA ARE SENATORS, THAT IS WHAT WE ARE PAYING THEM TO DO, THAT'S THERE JOB - THEY ARE NOT GETTING PAID TO RUN AROUND THE COUNTRY CAMPAIGNING OR DEBATING !

THE FACT THAT JOHN McCAIN IS GOING BACK TO WASHINGTON D.C., TO DO HIS JOB IS NOT ONLY RIGHT, IT IS EXPECTED ! THE FACT THAT NO-BAMA ISN'T GOING BACK IS A SIGN THAT HE IS NOT ONLY NOT DOING HIS JOB BUT WOULD RATHER CAMPAIGN THAN TAKE CARE OF US THE PEOPLE WHO ARE, LOSING THEIR JOBS, LOSING THEIR HOMES, NOW LOSING FAITH IN HIS DECISION MAKING ABILITIES !

73. Why couldn't McCain have just told the truth about why he was canceling? Why did he say he had to "race to the airport" when he was actually a few blocks away? If McCain can't even tell the truth about that, what else is he lying about?

74. Letterman is an entertainer, who gives a hoot what he thinks about McCain?
McCain probably lied , so his feelings wouldn't get hurt.
McCain has bigger fish to fry..he has a country to help run either as a Senator or President..
Letterman can go suck eggs...he's so "yesterday" anyway, nobody watches him.
