John McCain canceled his appearance on David Letterman’s show, and the host was not a happy camper!
Hours after McCain announced he was suspending his campaign to focus on fixing the nation’s ailing economy, he bailed on his scheduled appearance on the “The Late Show with David Letterman.”
David Letterman told the audience during the taping of Wednesday’s show that McCain had called him personally to apologize for bailing. According to Letterman, McCain said he couldn’t appear because he was rushing to the airport to get back to Washington.
But halfway through the show, Letterman heard that McCain was actually still in New York. In fact, McCain was just a few blocks away, at the CBS News headquarters, and was doing an interview with Katie Couric!
David Letterman was pissed and even interrupted his interview with Keith Olbermann, the fill-in guest for McCain, and cut to a live shot of McCain getting his makeup touched up before he talked to Katie Couric.
“He doesn’t seem to be racing to the airport, does he?” Letterman said, shouting at the television monitor: “Hey, John, I got a question! You need a ride to the airport?”
McCain and Letterman have always been friendly though, and had been on Letterman 12 times. McCain even announced in 2007 on the Letterman show, that he would run for President.
Letterman began his broadcast praising McCain, calling him “an honest-to-God hero.” But then he turned critical, questioning McCain’s decision to halt his campaign.
“I’m more than a little disappointed by this behavior,” he said. “ ‘We’re suspending the campaign.’ Suspending it because there’s an economic crisis, or because the poll numbers are sliding?”
“You don’t suspend your campaign,” Letterman went on. “Do you suspend your campaign? No, because that makes me think, well, you know, maybe there will be other things down the road –- if he’s in the White House, he might just suspend being president. I mean, we’ve got a guy like that now!”
Letterman later said today’s events were an indication “that something is going haywire with the campaign.”
