Another genius publicity move by the McCain camp.

I hope Dave rips into him.

Perhaps Keith Olbermann will be invited too.

awk-ward

His reason for not going before, the economy. Um, have things gotten that much better? Or is John McCain going to put us all at ease with his comedy stylings?

Good idea, John. Place yourself squarely in the middle of the bullseye when you think the gun is empty ;)

i'm going to watch this but i'll only be impressed if he lets dave turn his pants into shorts.

daveinaz: Perhaps Keith Olbermann will be invited too.

That would be epic

Who the hell is running his campaign? The geniuses that launched New Coke?

Who wudda thunk he'd change his mind.

He ought to send a video regret, something along the lines of, "I'm sorry I have to cancel tonight, I have a terrible cold," and then have some chick in a hula skirt walk into frame and hand him a fruity cocktail.

But of course, he won't because he's in full-on fuddy-duddy politician mode.

That's going to be more uncomfortable than the time I watched my grandmother's bukkakke video.

John McCain and the "Backtrack Express"

I want McCain to reach over, with a hand of friendship, and ask Dave to pull his finger.

I thought McCain's bedtime was 7:30.

ArbitraryConstant: I thought McCain's bedtime was 7:30.

Its OK, Letterman is filmed in the early evening.
McCain will, however, have to miss his early bird special.

I suppose he won't bring Palin.

/"Sarah is circling the block in the minivan"? You know she's locked in a basement.

This has "DISASTER" written all over it.

Mugato:

You owe me a keyboard!

I would like to see how many John McCains can fit into a Jamba Juice.

I would guess 31.

DL is not going to quit ragging on him until he shows up. Remember David Letterman's feud with Oprah? How many years did that go on?

I'm going to watch this.

Oh wow. This should be hilarious. I thank the internets in advance for providing me with video.

*Sets DVR*

MorrisBird: Who the hell is running his campaign? The geniuses that launched New Coke?

cousin-merle: Oh wow. This should be hilarious. I thank the internets in advance for providing me with video.

You just insulted "new coke"

This just in Dave Letterman will suspend his show on Wednesday.

Im cool with them making up, but i hope to hell dave gives mccain hell over palin and the insanity that she represents.

I hope Letterman rips him a new one and provokes another 'Don't you know who I am?' moment.

Still can't undo the damage that Letterman's wrought on his campaign. Dave reaches a lot of people.

This is bad news...for Obama

McCain: Greeting my friend, looks like we have something to talk about.
Dave: Katie Couric? I know she is more attrictive than me, but man I thought we went back. I thought WE meant something.
McCain: Its part of the game my friend. I wish I had handled it better. Please accept my apology.
Dave: Only if you dumb that crazy biatch Palin.
McCain: Did you know Obama is muslim?

I fear that Dave will puss out and not push the issue after McCain apologizes. Must remember to watch this.

They better stock up on hi-hats, because that's going to be surround, full-HD, ZING.

What's the point? He can't undo any of the damage Letterman's already done, IMO. He can only make it worse.

He's not a muslim, he's a decent man.

Awkward. Way to waste ANOTHER news cycle with the Letterman gaffe as a leading/distracting story, McCain!

Well, it's going to be great ratings for Letterman, I'm sure.

reilmb: This just in Dave Letterman will suspend his show on Wednesday.

oh wouldn't that be awesome? LOLZ

He's a muslin. Come on!!!

Maybe Dave can provoke him to physical violence.

Mugato: That's going to be more uncomfortable than the time I watched my grandmother's bukkakke video.

The first time or the second time?

He's not a muslim, he's a decent man.

I find it telling that the Republican party, McCain included, say that as if the two are mutually exclusive.

Slam Bradley: I fear that Dave will puss out and not push the issue after McCain apologizes. Must remember to watch this.

i also believe that's about how it will go; but also how it should go.

She's already dumbed over!! She can't dumb over any farther!!!

I hope Keith O. is hanging around the green room "just in case".

Odds are that the day McCain is suppose to make his appearance, something important that really does need McCain to be there actually WILL come up and he will have to cancel his appearance again.

McCain is probably assuming that Letterman will hold back the punches and act all buddy-buddy about the whole thing. But Letterman got great ratings from the situation, so it might not be like how McCain has imagined it.

Maybe Dave should 'run out of time' and bump McCain to another show, lol :C)

incendi: He's not a muslim, he's a decent man.

Remember when they used to say not all Muslims are terrorists, but all terrorists are Muslims? I'm pretty sure a large percent of their supporters actually believe all Muslims are terrorists and choose to ignore the fact that there are many non Muslim terrorists. What do they call the Christian extremists that bomb abortion clinics?

Bring a gun to knife fight, John.

webloid: Maybe Dave should 'run out of time' and bump McCain to another show, lol :C)

this is what will probably happen or he will play some joke on him.

I'm wondering if McCain will ever go on his buddy Jon Stewart's show again. He's been on the Daily Show a dozen times. His most useful appearance would be one this month.

And Obama needs to man up and go on the Colbert Report in person. Stop sending your wife to these shows.

Well the second time I was inured to it.

Aunt Edna and Uncle Harry?
