Letterman is Still Letting McCain Have It

Filed under: Celebrity Feuds > Politik > David Letterman > John McCain

davejohn.jpg

Like momma says, lies always catch up to you.

David Letterman, again, gave it good to lying presidential candidate John McCain on Thursday night.

Dave likened McCain's diss on him for Katie Couric Wednesday night to feeling like 'an ugly date'.

At first, Letterman said to his Thursday night audience, he felt like a "patriot" to let McCain off, but, "Now I'm feeling like an ugly date. I feel used. I feel cheap. I feel sullied."

Dave went on to weave McCain slams into his material the rest of the night.

In a bit about David Blaine, the magician who just completed a hanging stunt in Central Park, Dave threw out this McCain zinger, saying, "They just left the guy hanging there. It's the same thing McCain did to me last night."

Dave's celebrity guest that night was heiress Paris Hilton, whom he described as McCain's first choice for a running mate.

And, noting that Johnny boy wanted to bow out of the first debate with Obama, Letterman said running mate Sarah Palin wanted to put off her debate with Democrat Joe Biden until after Election Day.

LOL!

He also said Palin's United Nations appearance was like "take-your-daughter-to-work day."

During his interview later in the show with Paris, Letterman reportedly couldn't resist another mention of the GOP candidate. As y'all know McCain negatively likened Barack to Paris in one of his political ads. Letterman said to Paris, "I heard he dissed you. He dissed me."

Hope McCain is having fun laying in the bed he made.

Looks like Dave's having LOADS of fun with it!

    Cry me a fucking river, Letterman.



  7. 7

    I'm so old I
    remember when
    Dave Letterman was funny.
    Now he is a left wing crybaby
    and he is not funny anymore,
    just a ranting left wing whiner.
    Carl Rove tells better jokes
    than Dave Letterman and takes
    himself lest seriously.

    Letterman - i would totally hit that



  9. 9

    I'm voting for the first guy who advocates legalizing marijuana and prostitution, and then taxing those things to offset the "bailout".



  10. 10

    Hehe… McCain is such a d-bag.



  11. 11

    let it go, letterman.

    you STILL cant get over jay leno taking the tonight show spot…i have a feeling well be hearing this shit for awhile.

    Re: State ziti – He sounds fucking funny to me. In fact I am not a fan of his show and after reading this stuff I am going to add this to my tivo cause sounds hilarious. Thanks Perez for the info!

    Mccain should feel stupid, he lied and got caught infront of the entire country…even worse for him he was caught get his make-up put on at a different show on the SAME network. I think this whole thing was a huge politcal stunt, he realized his numbers were slipping in the poles and he reacted like he usually does, quickly and rashly. To think of this man running the country a long with the milf scares me to no end. I can't believe what a circus the McCain campain has turned this election into, I used to genuinly really like McCain. I used to think he was a good man with principles but lately he seems worse then Bush…if that is even possible. He continues to create stunt after stunt to try to get voters but what he is doing is making himself appear comp;letely incompatent. I believe he said to Rachel Ray that he can manage 5 grills at once., you say that you have extensive economic experiience, then you say that you haven't even completed a 3 page documnet a day later, you say that you are going to post pone your campaign yet it takes you 22HOURS to get to Washington..okay Senator, why can't you continue your campaign and help solve the issues in Washington?



  17. 17

    State ziti, don't hate on Dave!



  18. 18

    McCain is a LIAR!! We have seen it in his campaign Ads and now we see it with him lying to Letterman! He could have easily told Letterman he didnt think it was appropriate to joke at this time…he is a blatant Liar! PEOPLE he is also lying to you the Americans that he is going to change Washington! NOT TRUE! Do not be fooled!!

    I just hope Obama tries really hard to sound dumb tonight. So many of you jerks will feel finally identified and vote for the man. Geez, you can draw a similar equation between the motors we Americans have for voting and the motors that run a beauty pageant. Cause he is black, cause he is not rich, who cares!!! that does not take anything or gives anything about the man be a good president and change historically the way or path America has taken becoming the fucking number one asshole in the world.

    And if at least we were in good shape but to burst your bubbles with aren't and if we go in more crisis our money is going to worth nothing. I am going to start buying Euros in fact.

    THE FLACCID ONE STRIKES AGAIN!



  30. 30

    When caught in this lie, a statement was released by the press secretary as to why McCain really didn't show up… They didn't think humor was appropriate right now. McCain announced his candidacy on Letterman. Was that a joke too?

    but you might not want to admit you want Prostitution Legalized, it's pretty gross, if you have to pay for sex maybe you need a personality overhall because noone wants to sleep with you or because you watch to much porn and have unrealistic expectations and think you should be fucking Jenna Jameson all day.



  32. 32

    McCain is a coward and probably embarrassed now that he picked Palin for Vice President. Every day she's looking worse and no wonder they're not letting her do interviews as she is showing in spades how dumb she is.



  33. 33

    Re: sweetpiece
    It's okay sweets! I just can't believe they had the audacity to release that AHEAD of the debate. I like McCain, I really do, he just disappointed me when he sided w/ Bush n invading Iraq and the more this campaign goes on the more I lose respect for the man that's why I'm dying for it to be over already. As a person and his personal story I find moving, as a leader I find his behavior to be a bit erratic. We don't need another stubborn hothead in the Whitehouse right now.

    Renowned German weekly DER SPIEGEL says on their website that McCain s election rallye team underwent an advertising mishap: They prematurely placed an advertisement in "Wallstreet Journal Online" saying "McCain wins DEBATE!"

    You can still see a screenshot of this on the website of WASHINGTON POST! :-)
    Lmao…. :-)



  43. 43

    Borrrrring Dave. The country is more important than your little show. No wonder you're losing in the ratings. Get your meds adjusted.



  44. 44

    45

    Well much like your site's become, Dave has always been pretty bias for the left on his show. Unlike Leno and others who do a good job at staying balanced on their program, but maybe that shows as Leno has better ratings than Dave. Conan's better than them all anyway.



  46. 46

    lol David Letterman hasn't been funny in decades. You'd have to be a moron to take him seriously.

    It's almost depressing how disrespectful and petty you people are..you're always complaining about the government being partisan and saying we need to work together but it's clear that you are only willing to respect the office of the president if YOUR CANDIDATE wins.
    Personally I have no doubt in my mind that McCain will be winning in November, but what is sad is that no matter how much good he does while in office, the liberals in this country will continue to disrespect him simply because he isn't the candidate they personally wanted. I certainly hope that some of you calm down and learn to be a little bit more logical in the coming months..there is such a thing as losing gracefully and putting this country first you know.

    You are about the most ignorant person I have ever met Perez. Are you an illegal? John McCian did the right thing by not appearing on a comedy type talk show. It was horrible timing. I'm sure if Barrack had been booked that night he would have shown up because he doesn't know his ass from a hole in the ground. Do you realize that these men are both paid to do a job for this country? Do you realize that they are in one of the only jobs you can get away with trying to get another job (campaigning) while being paid by your first job? McCain made the right call not to go on some frivolous show such as Letterman when all this financial bullshit is going down. Barrack doesn't seem to give a shit though. He would totally go on because he's a fucking idiot!



  48. 48

    He needs to let it go. Its getting old.



  49. 49

    Dave needs to build a bridge and get over it already! It doesn't get funnier after a bajillion times; ok???

    He is really starting to sound like a big baby!



  51. 51

    i luv letterman !



  52. 52

    letterman is a whiney bitch. he needs to shut the fuck up and get over it.



  53. 53

    THAT WAS SUCH a set up- SUCH a set up. He couldn't do both and had to get back, so does he pick the JACKASS David Letterman- who makes a fortune from a corporation that backs the mean and sarcastic crap he spews- or does he pick the nitwit cheerleader, Katie Couric. Katie Couric has said so many stupid things over the years that it would be hard to pick one- oh I KNOW- in the coverage of the Olympics when they were in Italy, they were doing a segment on a gelato store- when the owner gave her a sample she said "This isn't going to make me SICK, is it?" World's stupidest Ugly American award goes to Katie. World's meanest Ugly American goes to Letterman the jackass. Just HAPPENED to have footage…..set up by a NEWS crew. This is why no one believes the media anymore. Why isn't ANYONE talking about Biden saying FDR addresses the nation on a television in 1929??? That is wrong from beginning to end and shows unbelievable ignorance.



  54. 54

    Letterman has forever made his son a bastard- your favorite word, Perez. Seems like you LOVE to use it. Why aren't you using it now? Yep, Letterman has ONE kid and he has refused to legitimate him. Screwed the kid's mom for years but was afraid she might cost him a dime. Nice guy. What an ass.



  55. 55

    Re: Sgirl – When did you meet Perez ? Who is McCian ? hahahahahaha



  56. 56

    It's a pretty sad day for nObama when Bill Clinton defends McCain's decision go to Washington to work on the economic issues. Keep it up, Dave, you're losing veiwers every time you open your mouth. And I don't think you're getting any votes for nObama, either.



  57. 57

    Does anyone seriously think that McCain cancelling DAVID LETTERMAN is a big deal? That LETTERMAN is a force to be reckoned with? Like THAT interview is going to decide the election??? Hahahahahahaha! WTF ever! HOLLY-fucking-WOOD ain't America Perez! I couldn't give two shits about Ol' Dave!

    It's ON like donkey kong tonight baby. The repubs have been trying to worm out of it cause all they are good at doing is shit slinging and talking about themselves instead of the issues. I bet the are sweating and scrambling around like a bunch of headless chickens.



  65. 65

    Aw poor baby! Didn't McCain realize that Letterman is the center of the universe?! Darn, he must have missed that memo! LOL!! Letterman is NOT FUNNY! He has sucked for the last decade! He has substituted bitter rhetoric for real humor! The only ones who find his crap funny are morally-challenged pot-heads! The rest of us prefer someone who takes pot-shots at both candidates not just the Republican one. Leno rocks…Letterman sucks….end of story! Oh and if I were a guy, I'd rather do an interview with Katie then with a ugly bitter jerk like Letterman any-day! LOL!!!



  66. 66

    Is Letterman still being a big cry baby?
    Enough already. If he thinks this will help him to get ratings, he's sorely mistaken.

    BOYCOTT LETTERMAN!!! Oh, I forgot, no one watches him anyway.



  67. 67

    ROCK ON DAVE!



  68. 68

    David Lettermans ratings have been the lowest of all time this year. He just doing this for publicity. Now that he is friends with Opra he has to support Obama.



  69. 69

    Obviously it's worrying for you that Letterman (as an obvious retard) is leading this debate, however throughout Europe everyone is laughing at the McCain supporters in America. From London to Athens and everything in between we assume you are of low intelligence if you can't see though the McCain/Palin joke.



  70. 70

    A question from Europe: do McCain supporters get Medicade as they are clearly of a low intelligence?



  71. 71

    Guess the "OLD QUEEN" is trying to get some of Jay's listeners.



  72. 72

    Conservative columnist Kathleen Parker wrote, "No one hates saying this more than I do," but Palin's "clearly out of her league" and should "bow out."



  73. 73

    Now Dave its not the first time you were stud -up remember Oprah? Its been awhile since anyone gave a shit about what you think. Its not all about you no more …how sad…cry ittlebeeeawwhite.

    Dear State Ziti I am typing this slowly because (A) you have learning difficulties or (B) you have not yet graduated high school. Please can you get someone to show you how to use the internet so that you don't just live on Fox news. Here in Europe we wouldn't trust McCain to use a pair of scissors never mind the Presidency.

Damn shame. Socialized mess when you wait 8 months for an operation that takes an American 4 days. How is your Muslim problem working out, Euro? Ready for that Sharia Law to take affect? Heard they took two Muzzies off one of the airliners in Cologne? Vas ist los? Our country has been kept safe for 7 years thanks to our president. How about Spain? Bend over for those scum, and you know what you get.

    Re: State ziti – #82 fucking your mama



  80. 80

    Dear State ziti

    Of course you are right - you do know how to elect a leader. Afterall, you probably voted for George Bush. I'm sorry to break the news but he's had the worst approval ratings for any president in history and more importantly is more of a joke than Palin. I'm assuming (based on the point of view you hold) that you have never travelled out of the US. You should try it it's fun and it broadens the mind.



  81. 81

    Dear Pervet - as a Republican I am sure you are in favour of the market. So if you want to test the strength of the US I'm sure you would agree that the value of the dollar versus the Euro or Pound would be reasonable. What do you think. In Europe now laugh when we come to America. It really is like shopping in Africa your currency is sooooo 3rd world these days.



  82. 82

    the u.s. will never elect a black for a president.

    Oh for god's sake, get over it, Dave. He's totally lost me as a fan.



  86. 86

    letterman has always been funny - warped, quick, entertaining. i hope he uses the mccain thing as much as he can until it's played out. good for him. letterman rocks. he's not some ass-kisser and he lets people know it.



  87. 87

    I know I make some conservative comments, but as I watch this debate I just wanna say Perez, THANK YOU!! Even though we differ on some issues and have different choices for the presidency, I Absolutely LOVEYOU!! For the first time I am really listening to our nominees and caring about our future as a country and all from a simply awesome gossip sight! I wish you health, love, and equal rights and happiness…Oh AND McCain/Palin 08!!!! Love you P!!!



  88. 88

    Watched the debate…..BARACK OBAMA CALLED JOHN MCCAIN "TOM". I shit you not! He fucking couldn't even get his name right! Who is senile now bitch? OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



  89. 89

    Re: Luv2Skydive – Watch the debate again if you can…they both stuttered on their words a couple of times…hardly makes him "senile"….PAALEASE!



  90. 90

    McCains eyes always look empty… Like he's hiding something….



  91. 91

    Perez…. “You’re just wanting some barracks back”…

    McCain just won some real meat, “the American public and his policy”



  92. 92

    To be honest I thought w/ the debate focusing on Foreign Policy that McCain would knock this ut the ballpark… THIS DID NOT HAPPEN. Obama was gracious in giving McCain credit where credit was due and still managed to stick to the Big Picture. Obama said yeah the surge worked, however; we shouldn't havebeen there in the first place… I STILL AGREE W/ That. The war in Iraq has strengthend Iran why? b/c of the unification of the shiite Muslims! Iran and Iraq WERE enemies and now the Taliban exists in a country where once thee was no Taliban. For those that are confused on the Muslim issue Google the Caliphate and read why knowing the differences in Muslim culture matter. On the issue of Afghanistan and Pakistan we will definately NEED Special Forces in Northern Afghanistan b/c we're dealing w/ a "tribal" society NOT a structured government and in order to win in Afghanistan we MUST win over those tribal leaders. IMO, Obama held his own despite McCain's exp. In Foreign policy and Obama pummelled McCain in regards to the economy. Overall I tought this would be John's it was NOT he NEEDED to hit t out the ballpark and that just DID NOT happen.



  93. 93

    Re: LusciousLiz

    OBAMA called him TOM for Christ's Sake! TOM???? Who the fuck is TOM????? CHECK the the transcripts then get back to me with your *point*.

    You read TOO much into what I'm stated. I referenced the fact that Obama said YES the SURGE worked John HOWEVER WE STILL SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN THERE! We took our eyes OFF the ball ( Osama, the Taliban) THAT is the point. So he gave him credit WHERE credit was due but pointed out the far SUPERIOR point that we should NOT have been there to begin with. As Obama said McCain has voted 90% in line with Bush so to address your assessment : "Know who else constantly agreed with his opponent?? Nixon in 60 vs. Kennedy. ’nuff said " I AGREE with you Nuff said ;)

    i was wondering what dave was so bitchy about, but i guess it's because mccain canceled an appearance with him? missed that one. but, if that's it, dave needs to get the fuck over it! shit happens, it's not the end of the world. i don't think snl had a fit when obama skipped out on their show. at least not that we heard about anyway…
