David Letterman: "McCain's Problems Began When He Bailed Out On This Show" (VIDEO)

David Letterman may be in talks to have John McCain on his show again, but that doesn't mean he's laying off the Senator for lying to him when he backed out of a scheduled appearance late last month.

On Monday night's "Late Show," Letterman went after McCain again, this time making light of his decision to abandon his campaign efforts in Michigan:

"John McCain has pulled out of Michigan, I guess the surge wasn't working. Yep, this is stunning to me. John McCain blew off Michigan. Well, I know how they feel. I know how they feel. Maybe you noticed that all of John McCain's problems began when he bailed out on this show, were you aware of that? The road to the White House runs right through here."

McSame's problems began when he bailed out on himself and sold his soul to Bush/Cheney/Rove.

[JLee]

Too true. That is perhaps the real tragedy of his campaign.

[notthistime]

exactly

[Aurin]

So true. So Sad. One can see it in his face. His heart is gone. There is no beauty in his soul.
What a person will do for power and fame...

[kayatarms]

I actually now watch his show!! If he can lie to Letterman,, well we already knew the rest!

[LiarLiarIraqsOnFire]

IF...!?!

Sure sure Mrs Palin. Of course you are right dear. You betcha!

[JuniorBug]

Remember when Neil "Butterball" Cavuto had a clock recording the time, down to the second, since he'd invited Obama to appear on his show? And Butterball's not even a real comedian!

[LiarLiarIraqsOnFire]

He just plays one on TV.

Is it just me, and I've been commenting here for years, or does it begin to seem like with every comment we're just blowing in the wind, wasting our time that could have been spent in actual meaningful activity. Like meditating to alter our karma, or working out, or svaing the starving children? No? Nevermind.

[gifu]

Wall Street and war come long before starving children, remember?

[lizr]

how about phonebanking for Obama?

[JuniorBug]

Forget it, Jinjin. It's the internet.

[reggieb]

Letterman's from Indiana and they pay attention to his more high profile running gags. It's thoroughly enjoyable that this will get a fair amount of attention in that SWING STATE.

THEY ARE HIDING THIS FROM YOU, Mr. Letterman

[NicoloM]

exactly-- only I would rather see how McCain would have to grovel if NBC forces Letterman to let him back on (we know McCain does humiliation-- remember the hugs in Bush's armpit?),
because I can't see Dave backing down, unless the rich NBC exec's have video of him and a........
I can't even imagine what video would make Letterman back down. He would eviscerate McCain, all the while smiling his goofy smile.

[2876]

What is the difference between Palin and slime? Nothing

[MrMike513]

Wrong, the slime has a more developed nervous system.

LOL

Here are the REAL Top Ten Reasons McCain ‘Bailed’ on Letterman

[hmmmmmer]

If Letterman now gives this hate merchant and hypocrite a forum to look good that will be the icing on the cake.

[unhipcat]

icing on the yellow cake.

[Midwestlefty]

Good one -- pun intended!

[bascombe]

"I KNOW HOW THEY FEEL!"

[TRYKER]

I'd rather he never appeared on Letterman again. In fact, it would be poetic justice, if after booking him and he is waiting in the Green Room, Letterman bumps him and brings on Keith Olbermann again!
Now that is change we could believe in.

[drumz]

Or Letterman calls in sick that day and KO hosts in his place. The GOP would implode!

[NoElephants]

Please Dave, don't cave in and let him back on your show. If anything, tell him he is going to appear, and then at the last second cancel him and have our man Obama on.

[freetobe]

I agree, Please don't let this man on your show! Look at what he is resorting to in his dirty, dirty politics. He has lost all credibility and Honor in my humble opinion.

[123dee]

Based on McCain's tax cut plan for the media, NBC and MSNBC get the least so I
am betting they are most truthful. Look at ABC & CNN
