David Letterman, John McCain To Make Up: Report

David Letterman has spent many days knocking John McCain for canceling on his program because he had to rush to Washington to fix the nation's financial crisis only to be found giving an interview to Katie Couric in New York at the exact time he was due on the "Late Show." But now it appears, according to a report in Tuesday's New York Post, that Letterman may be willing to forgive McCain.

The Post's Don Kaplan reports that the two are negotiating an appearance around the third and final Presidential debate, which takes place in New York:

David Letterman and Sen. John McCain are talking about making up.

McCain representatives and "Late Show" executives are negotiating an appearance on Letterman's show sometime around the final presidential debate on Oct. 15, according to knowledgeable sources.

McCain is expected to be in the New York area that week for the debate at Hofstra University on Long Island.

Representatives for both the McCain campaign and the Letterman show declined to comment yesterday.

I never bought into McCain's Maverick persona, and seeing how he has recently pivoted as much as 180 degrees on so many vital issues, I don't feel betrayed as othetr do. Letterman would be unwise to bring him back on, unless he seriously plans to tear him apart for his LIES.

[thoughtsoutloud]

Ah, say it ain't so Dave, sad wink.

[truthyguy]

If Letterman had not discovered McCain's deception, then McCain would have continued the lie and never apologized. It is who he has become - someone without ethics and character, and whose word is worthless.

[coryco]

Book Keith back on the same night!

[gdenco]

Who is the REAL John McCain??

Don't do it Dave!! We don't like the real John McCain!

[DrJohnnySkeptic]

But the real John McCain is the butt of all jokes, so it's bound to be entertainingly pathetic.

[Titus Pullo]

Schedule him and then cancel the show and air a re-run.

[metoo]

Perfect!

[i approve this message]

Run the episode in which McCain canceled because he had to fix the exploding economy.

[redsongia]

He better make up. He's losing Indiana.

Dave should make Palin appologize to Couric as well.

[DrJohnnySkeptic]

Palin's shot herself in the foot, along with John McCain, so it wouldn't make any difference if she apologized to Katie Couric - too little, too late.
