David Letterman's War Against John McCain Day 4: "Good Thing John McCain Blew Me Off To Go Save The Economy"

Tuesday night, David Letterman kept his war with John McCain raging strong, weaving another McCain joke into his monologue (that's 4 shows in a row, not counting the Friday show which was seemingly pre-taped earlier in the week).

"Yesterday the stock market...suffered its biggest one-day drop in history....And I'm telling you, boy, it's a good thing John McCain blew me off to go save the economy. Thank god is all I can say!"

Maybe the path to the presidency DOES go through David Letterman.

McCain's poll numbers are dropping worse than the DOW.

Elizabeth has got to go. I say we all pitch in for a UHaul trailer, help her pack her bags, and move her over to FOX ASAP. Don't let the door hit you on the way out Lizzy!!!

Letterman needs to keep the train running on McCain.

does anyone remember when Dave and Oprah didn't get along. That feud lasted over years! Eventually, Oprah came to his show. He takes disrespect very seriously real or preceived. John Mc disaster fixer should just settle in for a long ride

[Ofactor]

Go gettem Dave....Letterman is not going to let John live this down and he shouldn't!!!

[ReasonableBill]

Ah, the shoe seems to on the other foot and the Republicans do not like it

Does anyone remember when Dave used to be funny?

[anons]

Who cares, he's a candid wise a-- now which is far more entertaining and refreshing....none of the late night talk show hosts are funny

[Devver]

Hey! Craig Ferguson is HILARIOUS!!!

[Bettysdad]

I really hope that when a crying McCain calls Dave and begs to be on the show, Dave tells him the show's been "suspended."

[Bigeasy]

No better yet because of the economy he can't afford him.

McSame slit his own throat when he decided to start treating the media like the enemy.

i used to squirm when i saw dav e hit on girls young enough to be his great grand daughters. I cant say that I wont squirm the next time he does that again which is one of the reasons I stopped watching his show. but his newest attack on mc cai n is priceless especially since m cc ain first lied about the reason why he couldnt do the show, then da ve had the b a lls to show him in the make up chair, then he mocked and asked if mc cr azy would suspend his presid ency when a crisis happens if he is elected pre side nt, and then he has kept up with the attack relentlessly especially with the ba ilout fail ure mcc ai n sure looks silly to claim that he was going to be our urgently needed econ omic sup erhero. keep it up dave. someone needs to remind the low info vot ers in a real way that if mcgrumpy cannot even tell the truth about not wanting to do comedy on a difficult night for ameri ca, you have to wonder what else is he capable of lyi ng.

Go David - keep it up!! and never invite McCain to your show again!

[laffinatlibs]

I am sure Letterman will be covered under the Unfairness doctrine...right libs?

[NoElephants]

You really think you are in a position to be making fun of anybody? Poor republicans :(....

[Tommygun264]

That's the best you've got? Sad, sad, sad...

[Bettysdad]

Spend as much time laughing in that outhouse as you want.

[RadLeftVetPatriot]

Right, mor.

[Rjmartinelli]

Comedy doesn't count under the Fairness doctrine. It falls under the grounds of parody.

[Devver]

Thank God for that. Not like we have freedom of speech anymore....

[blueshield]

Well, for five years John couldn't get Letterman.

And before that, he was a POW.
