Ouch! David Letterman (10/3/08) Fries Sarah Palin’s Debate Performance – Video

Doubt that David Letterman will get many last minute cancellations after the payback that Letterman is serving up to John McCain.  Letterman was brutal to Sarah Palin through the entire show.  It didn’t let up.   NBC anchor Brian Williams was one of Letterman’s guests.  During their conversation Letterman went from mocking Palin to expressing serious concerns about Palin’s qualifications and McCain’s judgement in naming her. 

Here is a little taste.  Will you watch and laugh?  You betcha! :

_O’Brien, NBC’s “Late Night.”

___

“Great day for Sarah Palin. She has been practicing for the big debate tomorrow night. Palin’s staff has tried to find a stand-in to pretend to be Joe Biden. But so far all they’ve come up with is a tree stump. Which actually sounds about right.”

_Craig Ferguson, CBS’ “Late Late Show.”

___

“This is for all the marbles, this debate tomorrow night. And Sarah Palin is nothing if not diligent. She’s working hard on preparing for the debate with Joe Biden. Earlier today in Arizona, we just heard, she shot a donkey.”

_Letterman, CBS’ “Late Show.”

___

“Now we all know Gov. Palin has a lot of foreign policy experience because from Alaska, she can see Russia. More to the point, Russia is on the other side of the international dateline from Alaska. It’s tomorrow there. So when Palin looks at it, she’s actually seeing the future.”

_Stephen Colbert, Comedy Central’s “The Colbert Report.”

___

“The vice presidential debate is tomorrow night. Joe Biden, already gearing up. I understand he went to the hair salon, told the guy to put a little more on top … And Sarah Palin she’s getting ready for tomorrow’s debate, too. I understand she now knows all three branches of government.”

Watch David Letterman Video on McCain Cancellation – This is Not the Way a Tested Hero Behaves

McCain personally called David Letterman to cancell at the last minute because Senator McCain was “racing back to Washington.”  That, however, didn’t happen. In his show to air tonight, Letterman shows footage of McCain sitting down a few blocks away from his studio with CBS’s Katie Couric for an interview at the same time he was supposed to be on his show.

David Letterman says he respects and loves John McCain.   “But when you call at the last minute and cancel . . . this is not the John McCain I know.”  

Says McCain shouldn’t quit should let us VP shoulder campaign . . . what’s the problem Letterman asks?  Says, “this doesn’t smell right.  This is not the way a tested hero behaves.”

Dave asks, “Where is McCain’s second string quarterback?”  

Suspending because of economic crisis or because he’s slipping in the polls, Letterman asks.   Letterman then showed a live feed of McCain getting make-up in Katie Couric’s studio instead of “racing to the airport.” 

Letterman took a call from McCain in which McCain claimed he had to race to DC in order to save the country . . . yet, there he was with Katie Couric. 

The show will air tonight, September 24, 2008.
