Did anyone happen to catch McCain on David Letterman last night? I couldn't find a youtube for it yet, but it was great. My wife and I were cheering watching McCain squirm.
Letterman really gave it to him. I think McCain thought there would be a few jokes about him not appearing the first time, and it would all be smooth sailing from there on. McCain basically bombed and you could see his temper flaring as David kept pressing him.
In fact, Letterman probably did more digging and gave harder-hitting questions than any reporter in this entire campaign has for any candidate so far. He asked him if Sarah Palin was really ready to run this country if something happened, if he had met her and knew her before.
He asked him about Palin saying that Obama was hanging out with terrorist(s) plural. McCain said that Ayers was a terrorist and that Obama was associated with him. Then Dave asked, "You are friends with G. Gordon Liddy, right?" They took an awkward commercial break, then Letterman pressed him again.
