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!

    Oh I am sure John McCain, war hero and presidential nominee is fretting with guilt and worry over a half-assed talk show host who could not get Jay Leno's job or famously, dumb and tacky Paris Hilton. LOL, Perez would elect any minority for office, even a fake, no experienced jerk like Barrack Bin Osama Ladin.



  2. 102

    i didn't watch the debated - obama called mccain 'tom'? if he can't even keep a name straight, how can he be expected to run a damn country. i see people pointing out that mccain stuttered? big fucking deal, everyone stutters a little sometimes. obama does it quite a lot, usually while trying to think up a quick line of shit to throw out there.



  3. 103

    I cannot understand why people would fight for this man; he is selfish, self-involved, self-serving, dishonest, deceitful, unreliable, and he was found by an Ethics Committee to have "used poor judgment" in the criminal trial involving Charles Keating. Three of the other Senators did jail time for accepting campaign contributions from Keating, that were found to be bribes for getting Keating off of racketeering charges. Senator McCain walked away with $112,000.00 in campaign contributions from Keating, and all he got was a reprimand from the Ethics Committee. The senile old fart must be laughing his ass off at the lot of you who continue to root for him.
    ————————
    And those of you who are slamming David Letterman for whining about it, should be slamming John McCain for doing it. Anyone who would support John McCain, at this point, would have to be either very stupid or very racist.

    so far the McCain camp has not claimed that this was leaked. Rick Davies is sayingthatthis is a mistake of the washington journal nothing else so I guess it'll be cleared up over the weekend. I must admit I thought that was a sign of hubris especially since it also cites Rick Davies as saying :McCain wins hands down. Something ill turn up on this eventually. Thanks for the heads up.

    Well, don't you just have racist bitch written all over you. It's obvious that YOU still don't get it, because the point is that John McCain was deceitful and dishonest. (Although I'm guessing you still don't get it).
    :l
    And you should shut up long enough to go and learn something, because you can't even spell [Barak] Obama, and you don't seem to know that "no-experienced jerk" is supposed to be hyphenated. If you are not in junior high school ~ you should be.

    Why not just tell the truth to Letterman. Seems to be a pattern with McCain.

    MINXLIVES [21] says: How can the McCain camp release a web Ad claiming victory in the debate, when the debate has not taken place yet? GOOGLE MCCAIN WINS DEBATE / WEB AD. SUCH A SAD SAD SAD LINE OF BS Can we HAVE THE DEBATE FIRST?!
    :l
    It's like this, the core membership of the Republican Party is the Christian Network, so McCain knows that he can wing it, because they are like blind sheep following the stink. You could put Satan himself on the Republican ticket, and they would still vote Republican. America can offset that "cult vote", but that means everyone, everybody, every single eligible voter, has to go out and vote so that their majorities can challenge them.
    :l
    Don't be one of the gazillions of people who thinks that one vote short won't matter. It will matter, if a gazillion other eople have the same thought and don't vote either. That is how the Christian network has been keeping the corrupt Republicans in power, because they are consistent voters.

    You're the little bitch. McCain agreed to be a guest. He ditched him at the last minute for a better opportunity. If you think that is good character for the leader of a country, then keep your bitchy moany mouth shut when he does it to you.

  17. 117

    Just watched the debate Perez ……….poor old Obama felt the heat a couple times.

    I bet you'll report it completly wrong as usual, can't wait to hear your side of the story. But then again the only comment you should write about is how "salty" senator Larry Craig was.



  18. 118

    Sorry guys but McCain looked so old, he was yellow! The left side of his face was sagging and he voice was really soft and shaky. Anyone saying different is not facing the reality that he is not fit to lead this country! Maybe, eight years ago, but not now.
    We can't have a president that needs to go to bed by 7:39 and wake up at 10:00.
    Just can't work. Sad, felt sorry for him. He flashed his yellow teeth a few times but was looking down with his "pen" and was only talking from rehearsed speeches. He would sway any questions answer to a pre-fabricated answer.
    .
    OBAMA WAS SO STRONG AND AWESOME! CLEARLY KNOWLEDGEABLE OF ALL ASPECTS AND IN CONTROL OF HIMSELF. HANDSOME AND DIGNIFIED! OBAMA REPRESENTED IN A BIG WAY!
    .
    McCain rocked side to side, looked down, laughed nervously, coughed and flashed his yellow teeth. He was so sad.
    .
    OBAMA OBAMA OBAMA!
    THE RIGHT PERSON FOR OUR COUNTRY! Not just someone who thinks he's right.
    .
    MCCAIN MISSED HIS OPPORTUNITY!
    .
    MCCAIN=BUSH2

    Re: WakeUpPeople – The liberal media is a lie. McCain said he couldn't make it because he had to leave and he couldn't DO both interviews-and had to pick between the cheerleader and the asshole. He didn't owe that POS Letterman a thing. Why should ANYONE ever go on Letterman? He is one of the nastiest people in television. That's why he didn't get the Tonight Show job.

    Sgirl [53] says: John McCian did the right thing by not appearing on a comedy type talk show.
    —————————————-
    Then he shouldn't have agreed to do it. McCain sure wanted to take advantage of David Letterman's audience, in the middle of a campaign, until the opportunity came along for a bigger audience with Katie Couric. That is unreliable and self-serving.
    —————————————-
    And since you don't seem to know it, the Republicans are responsible "for all this financial shit that is going down." De-regulations have come back to bite them in the ass. You can't run banks and lenders like a pyramid scheme. Somebody ends up holding the bag. Taxpayers are holding that bag, and some of those taxpayers want to tell you how wonderful John McCain would be for President. Laugh.
    :l
    Any morons who are still supporting John McCain, with all the evidence that exists against his character and abilities, would have to be straight up racist.

    State ziti [135] says: Kind of like Obama ditching SNL. Hypocrite. If Hitler said he was for late term abortions, you could bet all your Berkley shit heads would vote for him.
    :l
    Obama cancelled SNL because of Hurricane Ike. That was out of respect for American "human beings" that were in turmoil. Anyway, McCain's spinner, Nicolle Wallace, told NBC Today that McCain said he cancelled because he felt it wasn't a night for comedy; but that is NOT what he told David Letterman. He told Letterman that he was cancelling because "he needed to fly to Washington right away to help solve the economic crisis".
    :l
    McCain is a liar.
    McCain is a thief.
    McCain is married to a lying thief.

    George Stephanopolous interview of B.O. "I appreciate John McCain doesn't doubt my love of my Muslim religion." George: "You mean you're Christian religion!" Barak: "Yeah, my Christian religion."
    Debate last night> "I have one of those bracelets on my wrist too! His mother gave it to me and said, please don't let his life be given in vain. His name is, urr, ahh, urrr, ahh (B.O. looks at his wrist and reads the guys name.) Remember to vote for Tom McCain!



  35. 135

    you are sure that b/c dave thru it out there (as a part of a comedy bit), that mccain "had to catch a plane"??, that it is then FACT……….you do realize, that while letterman's agenda is quite obvious, his purpose is entertainment…fool. McCain clearly stated in his anouncement on wed. that he would be returning to d.c. midday thursday. While Katie's show is a borderline comedy routine, it is actually produced by the CBS news division, and a valid venue for mccain to stop and sit during a monumental crisis in american history..
    .

    .p.s. i had no worries about falling asleep during parts of the debate…..i knew i could count on you to fill in all us ignorant misguided american citizens who will actually have a say in the outcome of this election……..what would we do without you

    You know Perez, it just hit me after reading this. You are just putting this stuff out so we all hit your site and reply. The wording and content are so off the charts it can be the only explanation. This looks good for your advertisers. Who cares if Letterman is pissed he wasn't important enough to Pres. McCain keep their date?? Letterman needs to grow up and move on. To most people on your site McCain is damned if he does and damned if he doesn't. Whatever….

    Re: Pervert – Post 153
    First of all according to Sharia the penalty for apostasy ( switching religion from Muslim to Christianity) = DEATH! So IF Obama was considered a Muslim BY Muslims a public call would be made by the Muslim community here AND abroad.
    Secondly, Finish the ENTIRE quote OR PLAY the ENTIRE 4 MIN. VID. Listen to the Question and the FULL answer to conclude that sentence you posted:

    "…(McCain) hasn't suggested that I'm a Muslim, and I think that his campaign upper echelons haven't either. What I think is fair to say is that coming out of the Republican camp, there have been efforts to suggest that perhaps I'm not what who I say I am when it comes to my faith, something which I find deeply offensive, and that has been going on for a pretty long time." ~ Obama
    That 17 second 14 second sound bite is such BS and as Obama has said atleast McCain has the decency to NOT question his faith.



  42. 142

    McCain's got my vote. Obama's black. 'Nuff said.

    I wouldn't go on Letterman's show, either! He's nothing but a snarky asshole!

    Hmmm.. or, way better

    McCain shoulcn't have lied.



  46. 146

    little funny the first day. he sounds pathetic going on and on about it. He doesn't seem to understand that McCain's people felt that with limited time, it was better to be interviewed by someone serious and part of the news groups, not an entertainer. Letterman was being told that he is not relevant



  47. 147

    I love Dave :)



  48. 148

    McCain lost that debate plane and simple.. He couldn't even look at Obama in the face because McCain knew he himself was full of it.lol! He came off as an "old" father chastising his son,"Obama". Sen. Obama actually spoke directly into the camera at the American people. I believe that all week long Sen. John McCain's Campaign was fearing this entire debate, because they knew that their candidate was beyond "out of touch" when it comes to the "economic crisis" our country is facing. It is true.. i found it to be hilarious when sen. Obama called sen McCain…"Tom" & "Jim" a few times during the debate.lol.. But Sen. McCain showed his true colors last night at the debate! Sen. McCain is all about "War", building more "Nukes", Sen. McCain is in love with the idea of drilling for "Oil". You can tell he is not about searching for new forms of energy like "Clean Coal", "Wind", and "Solar". I mean McCain is the most uninformed, technology illiterate, and he is a war monger! We need Sen. Obama! People please don't vote off of the fact of your on prejudices. Please rise above your fear of America having a "African-American" president! Don't allow our great country to sink into the Abyss of a 21st Century "Great Depression". What i fear most is that not even Sen. Obama can fix our America that the "Republican" party drove into the ground for the past 8 years.

    So Letterman really think the country is SECOND, and he is FIRST…The ego and self grandiosity of these celebrities are out of control.

Idiot.

    It's funny how you think that Obama won the debate and I think McCain made Obama looks like a fool, like an inept idiot who don't have a clue about foreign affairs.- McCain didn't even look at him, because Obama is a nobody, he doesn't deserve recognition……
