It’s one thing when Sen. John McCain cancels an appearance on Letterman because of a financial emergency.
But then, like a cheating significant other, he’s caught being interviewed (live) by Katie Couric for the CBS Evening News.
Letterman wasn’t happy about this. He was never a fan of Sarah Palin, but he loves McCain (he loves Obama a little more, however).
This nine-minute video is worth the watch…
Just a year and a half ago, this was the scene — McCain announcing his bid for presidency on the same show…

Letterman’s still got it.
Concerned that ignorant Americans know little about the great state of Delaware, Dave Letterman has decided to air a nightly segment introducing us to the state represented by Vice Presidential nominee Joe Biden.
Below is Tuesday’s segment, courtesy DelawareOnline:
And that’s why I love Delaware.
Now, as you can tell, the clip continues on the plagiarism past of Biden. And at the end, McCain “approves” his message.
Jokes about McCain’s age are entirely cliche nowadays. They’re way too overdone. But every now and then, one works. It’s got to be creative, witty and non-repetitive. And I think Dave’s does it Tuesday…
“What time’s Matlock on?”
That’s why I love David Letterman.

As an avid watcher of The Late Show of David Letterman, I’m left to wonder about the state of politics. Many people ask comics who they want to win the presidential election so the jokes can continue. But I think we’ll be forgetting what we’ll be losing by focusing on what we’ll be getting.
Of course, I am referring to the nightly feature, “Great Moments in Presidential Speeches,” which begins with two clips from well known presidential speeches followed by a not-so-great Bush moment. For an example, check out the hilarious compilation below.
I don’t care about your politics, but you have to admit - watching more than four minutes of Bush trying to say things really humanizes him, doesn’t it? OK, so he can’t always get the right words out when prompted. He misspeaks sometimes. But we all have those issues. Like the stress of being the leader of the free world doesn’t get to him every now and then.
