Letterman is an unfunny a$$-bag. Really, I can’t remember if he’s ever said anything even remotely amusing. Guess I just don’t get it.

I don’t see any difference between McCain and the average loony Democrat.

I liked how he “did Letterman” after a joke. He put his hands in his pockets and did the rocking back and forth. Good for him.

Not Presidential.

McCain has a serious superiority complex and is known for making fun of, mocking and or cussing out people who do not bow down to his greatness.

Ask John Cornyn.

What a despicable piece-of-s#%t! That goes for Letterman, too. Why not talk about amnesty, also?

The funniest part of the first clip is how ostentatiously self-satisfied McCain is.

IOW, he thinks the government should take over the housing industry but only for “deserving” people. That will help!

Iraq was a disaster, caused by “Rumsfeld—and others”; carbon dioxide is causing ‘climate change’

Yeah, I thought that was weird when McCain was asked about Iraq, he quickly changed the subject to climate change.

Sen. McCain apparently thinks he has to pander to the left by reiterating their mantras: Iraq was a disaster, caused by “Rumsfeld—and others”; carbon dioxide is causing ‘climate change’; Gitmo has to be closed; ‘torture’ is bad; etc., etc.

In other words, hes going into a national campaign basically echoing what the other side is saying. Worse, he probably believes it.

Which means he’s going to get eaten alive, because if people want that crap, they’re going to buy the real thing, not a watered-down Republican version of it.

Do I smell a disaster in the making?

Could Letterman be pro-McCain?

I find it quite interesting that the very first topic that Letterman started off with is the one topic that McCain admits is his weakest: the economy. Letterman has railed against Bush and the war, yet he leads with the economy. Why? Because he’s trying to catch McCain on something while talking about his weakest topic.

So transparent. Letterman jumped the shark years ago.

Lucianne.com says the repartee was scripted, which was also the case with Dole and Hillary.

They might have to dip into their savings?! What?! I
guess those savings were for the trip to Disneyland, so the rest of us should step up and help pay the mortgage?!!!

That’s the part of McCain that drives me crazy.

I think he meant emptying their 401(K)s

He done good! He probably won some votes last night. Hope he shows up a lot on the late night shows.

He’s such a good man, and so likable. How I wish he weren’t so leftish on some really important things.

The late MIke Royko once considered a move to Norway because he wondered about living in a country that thought David Letterman was funny.

‘are we ever going to get to the point where America is respected again?’

What kind of question is that? America is respected more outside of America than inside America. America is respected BECAUSE OF Iraq and the fact that we are willing to use our power. America is disrespected because of how we are treating Iran.

People don’t hate the USA because of anything we have done. We were attacked before the Iraq war, and we’ll be attacked after the Iraq war is over.

The bottom line is we should not give a rats behind what other countries think of us. Do you think Rome cared about anyone else in the world? Rome thought they WERE the world. I’m not saying that the US rules like Rome, But the USA is certainly more powerful than Rome ever dreamed to be. . . and the rest of the world absolutely respects that.

They all want to be American. That’s all the respect I need. . . and no Obama, I don’t want to ‘change’ that.

So if McCain is Norman Fell, does that make Obama Jack Tripper and Hillary Mrs. Roper? (Lord knows Hillary’s not Crissy or even Janet)

Whoops, I missed finishing a sentence there – too many thoughts at the same time.

Here goes. How do you tell the difference between a speculator with three properties that is just going to flip them and an honest person who owns multiple rental properties and is now being squeezed out of his livelihood? How can you prove a lending institution has been dishonest with all the paperwork a buyer has to sign in regards to understanding the contract to which they’ve agreed. I think this is a Gordian Knot that will just have to unravel itself. The market is the most efficient mechanism for resolving this with the least amount of pain. Will many be hurt? Yes. Is it because of their choices? YES.

For God’s sake Maverick, get Mitt or somebody to “learn you up” on economics pronto. I’m at my most nervous when he starts regurgitating the nonsense he no doubt reads in the NY Times. (I frankly think he was more worried about keeping Letterman pacified than anything.) And what the fuh? Close Guantanamo? Dude, that didn’t even get a cheer. Most Americans know that Club Gitmo serves an incredibly vital purpose. If I’m going to be a McCain guy, I’m going to have to do what I know most Dems do when they hear Barrack speak nonsense. I’ll put my fingers in my ears and pretend he’s making sense. Heaven help us.

As much as it pains me that he’s our best choice, he did a nice job scoring points with the folks he’s going to need to get him elected. He’s a moderate voice that plays well to the moderate Democrats, half of which will be thoroughly ticked off when their guy/gal does not get the nomination.

Sigh, he’s our best hope.
