During the taping producers found McCain being mic'd for Katie Couric. Dave then calls him out on it.

Stumble This
Of course this is a political stunt. Of course McCain can go to Washington without closing down his campaign office, sending his surrogates home, and canceling all his appointments (oh, what, none of that happened?). But I didn't expect anyone in the main stream media to call him on it.
911liani rule nr. 12
Basically McCain is doing EVERYTHING he possibly can to avoid actually discussing anything, because he knows that if he does... he loses, because Obama is that much better at talking, has that much more substantive plans, isn't a bold faced lier.
First we get Palin to distract the media for a while, and now we get this.
F*ck I hope that he's called on it and FORCED to do the debates, I really do, and I really hope there aren't any dumbsh*ts who really believe it's 'for the good of the country' that he's doing this shit.
Shall we put the election on hold as well?
Maybe declare a state of emergency? Maybe hand over the country to Paulson with a dictatorship immunity from congressional review or.... i don't know... laws?
Oh man, 2356 articles and counting - http://news.google.ca/news?q=Letterman+McCain
Paul was pretty funny for a change too.
#10 "I just contributed to your campaign – how do I get a refund?"
#9 "It’s Sarah Palin –- does this mean I’m pars’dent?"
#8 "Can’t you solve this by selling some of your houses?"
#7 "This is Clay Aiken. Is McCain single?"
#6 "Do you still think the fundamentals of our economy are strong, Genius?"
#5 "Are you doing all of this just to get out of going on Letterman?"
#4 "What would Matlock do?"
#3 "Hillary here –- my schedule is free Friday night."
#2 "Is this just an excuse to catch up on napping?"
#1 "This is President Bush –- what’s all this trouble with the economy?"
"We're cancelling because the economy is failing" WHAT? What is your drop going to do about that anyway?
This is just a stall tactic, because neither McCain nor Palin would have a chance in a real debate against obama/biden. For shame.
If you want to stop campaigning then CONCEDE.
Oh the schadenfreude is overwhelming.
Only those prisoners who had a high probability of dying because of medical conditions took early parole with one exception and he was ordered by the ranking officer in the camp to take the release because he was enlisted, did not plan on a career in the military and he knew most of the prisoner's names so he could make a public statement when he got home to the press and the families would know that their loved ones were coming home soon.
Not accepting the early release does NOT make him special, yes it was brave but he was hardly unique or even out of the ordinary for that situation.

The Straight Talk Express Is Burnt out somewhere on the freeway...McCain, you are a disappointment
If so, I agree.
>> ^The_Dragon:
Again more proof the New World order is in control, kids look up Bohemian Grove. Look up Obama and the New World Order. This site proves once again media is Biased and Corporation Control. WAKE UP!!
Funny that everyone is so anti-McCain that they can't realize that the only thing Obama is good at is public speaking. He's spent his entire time in Senate running so essentially he has absolutely no experience. Sure he's a good public speaker but that isn't going to do shit when it comes to actually fixing the economy.
I would rather have someone who is intelligent enough to give extremely articulate speeches and listen to reason than a geriatric with blinders on who has absolutely no idea what is going on in the world. McCain called us a country of whiners a few months ago... are we still whining now that our economy is VERIFIABLY in the toilet?
What I don't get is this: we are clearly a country married to our parties. After 8 years of Replublicans, what does it take for people to divorce themselves from their parties? We are stuck in a useless war, our economy is destroyed, the world hates us, why on earth would you want to give the next 4 to 8 years to the Republicans again?
Don't even get me started on the Voodoo Economics of the bailout.
We are a country of whiners. People are ALWAYS complaining about something. Nobody is ever happy and everyone is waiting for our leaders to screw up. I'm sure if Obama is elected it won't be long before people start griping about how Obama runs things.
I think I'm ahead of the curve on this -- I've already started complaining about how Obama is running things (*cough* FISA Amendment Act). That doesn't change the fact that the "Nation of whiners" comment was despicable... The implication was not that Americans like to complain, but that the economic woes of the country are all in our head (mental recession, anyone?). It really burns when the guy who practically architected the collapse tries to blame his own failed policies on some imagined fault of the American people.
For the record, the "just a public speaker" comment comes up short too. Ignoring for a moment all of the work he has done for his degree in law, his time in the Illinois State Senate, and as a community organizer (for Chicago's South Side!), he still has an impressive U.S. Senate record. Sponsoring 136 bills is not exactly the sign of someone who does nothing but public speaking.
leaving aside the fact that all politicians are scum if they get that close to the top...
the difference is that if mccain destrys america more, his supporters will thank jesus for it.
if(when) obama puts a foot wrong, a shitload of angry betrayed gullible fools are gonna get angry on his ass.
so there, vote obama, the candidate most likely to be kept in check by his supporters.
or, don't vote because the whole thing is a perversion and voting makes you dirty.
lol I've never seen a Letterman 'bitch slap' like this before...
You obviously never saw what he did to Elle Macpherson and his on again / off again love affairs with Madonna and Farrah Fawcett.
Take off your doom-colored glasses, Mink. There's a whole world out there to enjoy and take an active role in.
That's just what I needed! I have obviously been stuck here on my computer, never going outside, defining myself solely by my comments on videosift. What a fool I have been.

upvoting this comment for bringing the view from the other side to the sift, rather than just yelling and screaming, which the internet is oft to do.
What we all need right now is change and with it, the hope of a dream. I am dreaming that change will be in the well of hope, that we might all stand together in unity, because the opposite of that unity is standing apart. Many Black Americans didn't have the same opportunities as I, because like me they were not on the dollar bills. Those people on the dollar bills appear all in green, and as I must remind you every two minutes, I am partly African- American in background so if I am accused of being green, that cannot be the hopeful change we all seek to unify.
My plan to tax ONLY "the rich" will surely not harm you middle class and lower income people, the same way leaving a sunflower in darkness and giving it very little water will not stunt its growth. We are all interconnected in unity until it's time to blame others for the failures of still others. Do not ask me about issues, I am busy having a dream, always having a dream of hope and can't be bothered with clarity that doesn't unify the message of change!
For example if we start enforcing accountability for CEOs who fuck up their companies and leave, nobody will want to fuck up a company anymore, there will be no CEOs, and the rich will be unemployed, which would obviously mess up the bell curve.
The best thing is if all the poor people give everything they have to the bank, and the wise bank owners decide how to trickle the money back to the poor people.
I see your point.
