McGroveling to Letterman

Filed under: TV News > Politik > David Letterman > John McCain

John McCain is taking a page out of the Hollywood TV playbook!

When your ratings are slipping, schedule a stunt to give 'em a jolt!

Well, looks like Senator McCain is doing just that.

He's scheduled to appear on the David Letterman show on Thursday to likely plead mea culpa for dissing Dave a few weeks ago to 'save' the economy for Katie Couric.

Set your DVR's y'all!

We bet there'll be lots of funny stuff!

    I love John McCain. He stood being tortured like my brother tortured those people in that movie. He is a tuff motherfucker. I get off on people who can stand alot of pain. Shit fucking yea.

    Letterman, stop being such a big old whiny baby. By the way, Obama is hot and sexy and I'm voting for him. Yay!



  6. 6

    Dave's going to tear him a new one.

    Letterman is a prick who won't legitimate his ONLY child. (well, who ELSE would sleep with him other than that one poor woman - so there is only one illegitimate child). I though McCain was making the right decision when he cancelled. Why should ANY presidential candidate jump through a hoop for a sarcastic asshole like Letterman. Cher actually was right when she called Letterman an asshole. Oprah, before she got afraid of his mouth, also refused to go on his show. How that guy has one viewer out there, I don't know.

    Re: MissBabs – Kissing Obama would be like licking an ashtray. He smokes so much that he even looks gray from poor oxygenation.

    Re: MissBabs – Obamamama is WHAT? BAHAHAHAHA! Oh, Jesus… I hope like hell you aren't serious…

    I don't see anything funny in this. It's just another political ploy. Hey, McCain had been warned many times to cut the mudslingging and get to the issues, he did not. So what happened? He has caused hatred. So what happens with erratic Mcain when he does not listen to advisors in Presidency? It is scary to think what he would cause and not be able to clean up. Letterman, I hope you cancel him, if not, I will never watch you again.



  11. 11

    tcastillo421 I'm sure Lettermen could give a crap whether you ever watch again or not.



  12. 12

    Luv u Dave ! I will be watching !!!!!



  13. 13

  14. 14

    Can this guy get any more desperate? I hope Dave doesn't give him an inch. For the sake of the world vote Obama.

    It would be totally hilarious if Letterman went AWOL for JUST the McCain segment. Interview his first guest, go to commercial break, come back with a stand-in interviewer for Johnny Boy. Or better yet: let McCain sit there and stare at Dave's empty chair for 15 minutes.



  16. 16

    Hahahahaha - CAN'T F***ING WAIT!!! Dave's gonna dissect him and eat him for breakfast!!!!!



  17. 17

    RIP McCain A NEW BUTT HOLE LETTERMAN!!!!!!!!!!!

    VOTE OBAMAM 08 YAY!!!!!!!!**********^^^^

    McCain's "leadership" through the econ crisis has been erratic. One day "econ is fundamentally sound", the next day a desaster. One day he's against bailout, next for, than the campaign suspension STUNT BS. He's erratic & rash & ill tempered. Being a POW doesn't make a President. McCain graduated at bottom of his class. Obama was cool, calm, reassuring, he is Harvard Magna cum laude, Law review President. Letterman was pissed!



  19. 19

    Desperate! I don't understand why McCain wants to be president so badly. He's already lost once. I truly believe this is some fear of death crisis he's going through and he is being selfish not thinking about what direction the country is going. For christ sake he lived through the KKK and even associated with it's members (USCWF) that's worse! He's way out of touch with today's society. He's not gonna be here in 15 years, how can he make decisions for the country?? You guys should read the article about him in the new Rolling Stone. Sheds some light on who he really is. GLASS HOUSES-STONES!

    How sad when our actual politicians have to kowtow to vapid talk show hosts like David Letterman. These are the people running our country not acting in our movies.

    I'd like to know something — for any parent out there that voted for Dubya - how do you feel about the country you have left for your children?
    -
    Most republicans seem to be intolerant of anyone, anything different then they are is not allowed. Why? What are you so afraid of? Are you that insecure? I'm sorry, but that's what it seems like.
    -
    Little fact-ola: I still believe most republicans - if they'd admit it - are afraid of some "awful welfare person" getting a dime of their money.
    -
    Here's a fact for you — there are 300 million people in the US. Approx. 5 million are on welfare. That works out to be .016 percent — that is NOT the major drain on this economy.
    -
    Where there IS a meeting of the parties would be on illegal immigration - I'm totally against it — that group is 20 million - that should be brought into focus. But your fears about a dime of your money going to welfare? Well, you should be a WHOLE lot more concerned about the cost of this er, um, "questionable" war. That YOUR president started - and McCain wants to continue.

    Re: Cherry Bomb – Jump through the hoop for Letterman? What? He's used Letterman in the past for publicity.
    -
    FACT:
    -
    "He (McCain) has made a dozen visits to the program and announced his candidacy for president on the show in February 2007."
    -
    So how is it your are blaming Dave now??? Why is Dave responsible for McCain's whopping lie about running back to Washington DC? The truth was he needed to do damage control re Palin's interview with Couric.

    McCain - the Flip-Flop King:
    -
    Suspending campaign - whoops, not suspending campaign.
    -
    Bold new economical plan to be announced ! (this weekend) - Whoops, no new plan.
    -
    "Concerned that the real John McCain story was not being told, Robert Greenwald and his team at Brave New Films decided they HAD to do something about it, so they did some extensive research on his flip-flopping. The result is a series of short films laying bare the fallacy of the straight-talk label that has been attached to McCain"
    -
    If I were a Republican, I'd want John to talk more on what he's going to fix this economy — instead of smears on Obama - that does nothing to try to improve this country.

    Does anybody watch Letterman? His Top 10 list is as old and listless as Barack Obama's welfare payments dressed up as tax cuts. See TruthAccording To T o m
