Letterman/McCain Score Big Ratings

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

Thursday night was BIG for Dave Letterman!

6.5 million people tuned in to see John McCain kiss Letterman ass!

It was Dave's most-watched night in three years.

The last time he saw those numbers was when Oprah stopped by to see him!

What did you all think of Dave's grilling of the Senator?

Maybe the late-night host will be asked to be a presidential debate moderator in four years!

      From J. D. Pendry - Sergeant Major, USMC, Retired:
      "Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Carl Levine, Barbara Boxer, Diane Feinstein, Russ Feingold, Hillary Clinton, Pat Leahy, Barack Obama, Chuck Schumer, the Hollywood Leftist morons, et al, ad nauseam: Every time you stand in front of television cameras and broadcast to the Islamic Nazis that we went to war because our President lied, that the war is wrong and our Soldiers are torturers, that we should leave Iraq, you give the Islamic butchers - the same ones that tortured and mutilated American Soldiers - cause to think that we'll run away again, and all they have to do is hang on a little longer. It is inevitable that we, the infidels, will have to defeat the Islamic jihadists. Better to do it now on their turf, than later on ours after they have gained both strength and momentum."

      More from From J. D. Pendry - Sergeant Major, USMC, Retired:
      "American news media, the New York Times particularly: Each time you publish stories about national defense secrets and our intelligence gathering methods, you become one united with the sub-human pieces of camel dung that torture and mutilate the bodies of American Soldiers. You can't strike up the courage to publish cartoons, but you can help Al Qaeda destroy my country. Actually, you are more dangerous to us than Al Qaeda is. Think about that each time you face Mecca to admire your Pulitzer."

      "You are America 's "AXIS OF IDIOTS." Your Collective Stupidity will destroy us. Self-serving politics and terrorist-abetting news scoops are more important to you than our national security or the lives of innocent civilians and Soldiers. It bothers you that defending ourselves gets in the way of your elitist sport of politics and your ignorant editorializing. There is as much blood on your hands as is on the hands of murdering terrorists. Don't ever doubt that. Your frolics will only serve to extend this war as they extended Vietnam. If you want our Soldiers home as you claim, knock off the crap and try supporting your country ahead of supporting your silly political aims and aiding our enemies."

      Re: McCainIsMyHero – well said !! you appear to actually have experience about what you preach! funny how all the other crazy left wingers think they know so much yet have never actually been involved in anything but arm chair politicing! The liberal/democrats are just as stupid as Obama expected…he doesnt even have to actually answer any questions or just changes his answer as the days progress and they dont even notice…

    7. 107

      Re: jilly – Inorite?!?! lol. Unfortunately, those are all the folks who will be lined up for their welfare checks on day one if Obama is elected. And who will be treating them to new cars? Why, you and I i will, of course! /vomit.

    21. 121

      Dave Letterman is now my Gawd. He gave to McCain EXACTLY what he deserved. What a piece of crap he, McCain is. He's just a political mouthpiece. He espouses the party line and is a shell of the man he was 4 years ago.

      Re: Big Black Dick – YOU ARE SOOO JEALOUS!

      Re: arrora – You are such a self righteous cunt! Yes, just calling it like I see it.
      HOWL BITCH HOWL!

      Re: Smirks –
      Hahaha I ordered a McCain/Palin The Riveter shirt off ebay, I felt it was perfectly obnoxious and will gladly be sporting it all over town lol. My boyfriend didn't want his tires getting slashed with the bumper stickers and I freak out when my car gets one little scratch so I'll have to agree on that, you know how they can get! As if you couldn't tell I'm a confrontational bitch as well=)

      Re: Cristi –
      Um sweety have you been reading my posts, I'm a Hard Core McCain supporter and I'm annoyed at all the liberal bullshit I have to deal with on a daily basis living in LA, and I was agreeign, there are tons of Republicans in Califorinia we are just not loud and obnoxious and don't feel the need to cover our yards with Obama signs and have obama stickers all over our cars. Republicans are known for being the silent majority=) So glad to hear you're a Mccain supporter as well!!
      -
      I am also Pro Choice, Pro Equality, Pro GLBT Rights, and am VERY against Obama, you are absolutely correct that the Robbin Hood Idea is an ideology used to deceive people when they're at there worst and it does not work. I've even mentioned it a few times in previous posts, so Good for you for having more intellect than most on this bored, I completely agree. Just think you must have misread my post or taken my sarcasm literally =)



    26. 126

      Re: sweetpiece –
      Oh please be quiet already, all you do is spew out the same thing over and over. It's what I'd expect to here from a little 3rd grader after repeating what they heard from their foul mouthed parents. Every time you post on this board it's just a bunch of useless shit spelled out in all caps because apparently you're just as old as McCain and can't read. Go get your bifoculs on and try writing without all the caps like an idiot because we can all read just fine.
      -
      Now this one might be really hard for you, but just once maybe you could try writing anything, just one "sweetpiece" of information pertaining to the actual topic..but its unfortunate that I know you can't because maybe you haven't quite gotten past that 3rd grade graduation yet. Hang in there, I'm still hoping one day I might see just a tiny speckle of a brain come from one of your posts so I can see you might have some original thinking, a brain, or at least a level of education past grade school.



    27. 127

      Re: arrora – 128 I have posted facts after facts but you obviously don't respect any other opinion then your own. Your narcissism is amazing! Just another out of work actress more worried about scratches on her car then the rest of the world. I often write in caps because I am using a firm strong voice for the children to pay attention. Obviously, you haven't.
      .
      MCCAIN/ PALIN TICKET IS DEAD!

      Re: arrora – Retracting right now!!! hahaha sorry I did misread!!! I apologize!!! Same here…I am glad we're on the same side girl!!! Sorry for the ewwsss!!! hahhaha



    29. 129

      I love Mccain

      Re: arrora – You have a voice. An important voice. Keep going, girl!!!! :)

      PS - You are gorgeous. So am I, incidentally. Have you ever noticed how much better looking conservatives are? lol. Bunch of jealous bitches on Perez forums, imo. LOL.

      An interesting email doing the rounds……..Ponder the following:

      What if the Obamas had paraded five children across the stage, including
      a three month old infant and an unwed, pregnant teenage daughter?

      What if John McCain was a former president of the Harvard Law Review?
      What if Barack Obama finished fifth from the bottom of his graduating class?

      What if McCain had only married once, and Obama was a divorcee?

      What if Obama was the candidate who left his first wife after a severe
      disfiguring car accident, when she no longer measured up to his standards?

      What if Obama had met his second wife in a bar and had a long affair while
      he was still married?

      What if Michelle Obama was the wife who not only became addicted to pain
      killers but also acquired them illegally through her charitable organization?

      What if Cindy McCain graduated from Harvard?

      What if Obama had been a member of the Keating Five?
      (The Keating Five were five United States Senators accused of corruption
      in 1989, igniting a major political scandal as part of the larger Savings
      and Loan crisis of the late 1980s and early 1990s.)

      What if McCain was a charismatic, eloquent speaker?

      What if Obama couldn't read from a teleprompter?

      What if Obama was the one who had military experience that included discipline problems and a record of crashing seven planes?



    32. 132

      Also, if you look at polls traditionally - they all skew democratic. In EVERY election, the dem candidate shows ahead by at LEAST two points, yet rarely wins. The dems are delusional. It is far from over.



    33. 133

      Re: Smirks – Awe thanks sweety and yes I have noticed Some of those Anchorettes on Fox are just so smart and beautiful my favorites are Jane Skinner and Megyn Kelly
      Re: Cristi – It's no problem and I agree with you 110%
      -
      Re: stinkypiece – Awe more Gibberish, see when you work hard and buy your own car you tend to worry about things like scratches, I'm obviously doing just fine in my line of work so don't you worry that tiny little brain before you hurt yourself. Just worry about getting past grade school, working your way through Highschool, and one day maybe you'll even move on to college. Hopefully then you'll start to see things more clearly =)



    34. 134

      Re: arrora – 135 OMG Arrora and Smirks I'VE SEEN THE LIGHT!
      THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR WISDOM AND THOUGHTFUL COMMENTS THESE LAST FEW WEEKS. MY LIFE HAS BEEN TRANSFORMED. I GET CHILLS JUST THINKING ABOUT IT!
      .
      TEE HEE HEE!

      Re: Smirks – Yes someone with a brain!! How come no one else sees this?? Oh and alot of those crying will have lost their jobs because people who employ them not only will be taxed more but will be subjected to Barack "Hussein" Obama's communist/health care plan…..How stupid are these people?? Democrats and a Democratic house are the ones who have been spending/wasting your money.

      136

      Re: SezSays – What if Obama didnt hang out with Bill Ayers, a domestic terrorist? Waht if Michele Obama didnt work with his domestic terrorist wife for years? what if Obamas father wasnt a radical muslim? What if Obama could actually prove that he was born here? What if Obama had something to actually say except talk of his big "tax cut" (which isnt one)? What if Obama had a record of doing anything pro active to save the tax payers money? what if Obama subscribed to a different ideology besides tax anyone who makes anything of themselves and give it to himself and the lazy losers? What if Obama actually did something pro american? What if Obama actually saluted our flag? What is Obama showed some respect for all of the men and women fighting for our country? What if Barack Hussein Obama was white?

      Re: jilly – #137
      –
      Jilly, I wouldn't worry. The polls are becoming tighter and tighter every day. And every election year they tend to project what they WISH would happen instead of what will ACTUALLY happen. Polls showed Gore ahead, Kerry ahead, and Bush won both times. Going further back, polls showed Carter and Mondale over Reagan. Hahaha. My advice to you and all the conservatives on this site would be to stock up on some bubbly to celebrate McCain's victory, and batten down the hatches - there will be riots in cities that will make the LA riots look like a kindergarten field trip.

      Re: Smirks –
      I would also like to add, I think this year it's important to actually go to the polls, I honestly do not trust the absentee ballots with all this acorn crap going on and faulty registrations being ignored. I know all the McCain supporters will be out in full force and I'll be sporting my new McCain/Palin shirt all over LA =)



    39. 139

      Re: arrora – God, be careful when you wear that shirt. I hope you have pepper spray or a taser. Lol.

      Re: Smirks – I think you are right, it just is so amazing how absolutely ignorant a huge portion of the population is! Especially all of the high school drop out "actors" who support this guy because they think it makes them popular! Their agents have been lying to them and they really think they sound intelligent. So Annoying!! You know when McCain wins the dems will cry unfair again, even though they are the only ones who commit voter fraud.

      Former Secretary of State Colin Powell speaks to reporters Sunday after appearing on "Meet the Press."

      "I think he is a transformational figure, he is a new generation coming onto the world stage, onto the American stage, and for that reason I'll be voting for Senator Barack Obama," Powell said.
