David Letterman: In the tank
John McCain cancels his appearance on David Letterman over the bailout frenzy and Letterman replaces him with…Keith Olbermann.
And then he piles on with Metamucil jokes and war hero mockery.
Pssst. Dave. The old-age jokes are getting…old.
And Olbermann? Guess it makes sense. He’s the ultimate Stupid Human Trick.

Unfortunately I had to watch Barney (the Elephant) Franks last night when I got home on Lou Dobbs. The guy goes into a rant, and says that he cant wait for a few months when they run the country. Then they will be able to extend the “Socialistic” plans beyond the bailout.
Does anyone really look forward to a country run by Franks, Schumer, Obama, Pelosi, Reid and friends?
It is going to be a disaster, and thanks to Bush, McCain is now dead meat.

Well, I think McCain skipped out because it is a political stunt and he has no morals.
Well, I think McCain skipped out because it is the right thing to do.
Well, I think McCain skipped out because he has strong moral conviction that this credit crisis must be averted, and he is willing to take a political risk to save the country he loves so dearly.
Of course, each and every last one of these things says the exact same thing, McCain skipped out, and to quote one that is amazingly gifted in linguistics
I personally think every last one of these is completely different.
So when I say that I do not think Letterman did this as a political hack, that he genuinly was offended at being dissed so close to recording, I am not making any excuses for him, I am just framing it in the correctly. If you are not willing to frame things in the correct perspective, then you are just as bad as all the lefties who take things out of context and give them credibility. That is what is wrong with saying that Letterman is in the tank because of this isolated instance.
Just to be clear, so that people who have no internal ability for critical thinking, I think what Letterman did was completely wrong, it was crass and it was horrible. But I do not think he did it as a surrogate of Obama, even if he is a surrogate of Obama.
Time for Some Rattler Gator, Black Conservatives support “Country First” J.B. White is a wonderful writer. I highly recommend his blog. Obviously he is also a Gators Fan:)

I do hope, and pray, that he’s been listening, and doesn’t go along with the bailout – in any of its incarnations.
I would add that IMO those guilty of enriching themselves at the expense of others includes people who took out home mortgages that they couldn’t afford – some of whom simply walked away from that responsibility.
Sadly, I know some who’ve done just that, and I’m not happy with the prospect that my husband and I, who’ve been waiting to own rather than rent, not only will lose that opportunity, but have to pay for the mortgages of others.
Touche’
Olbermann is the most vile sub-human I’ve ever witnessed on TV (and that includes JackAss Cafferty and Dan Blather).
To see Olbermann’s head explode if McCain were to win is — all itself — reason enough to vote for McCain.
At the end of the day, what’s more important, backfilling a guest absence on Letterman or protecting constituents’ assets in the face of a knee-jerk, taxpayer-funded bailout? I never trust McCain when he’s working the media but this action represents a huge risk he certainly thought through before announcing.
Wow – I guess that means Letterman hates America and wants the terrorists to win?

Corrected for you: “Obama can” – do nothing unless it is in the script and phonetically written out on the prompter!
Ageism? Really? Denigrating our country’s most noble citizenry, not to mention most relaible voting block, as matter of discourse? Oh, well.
Man, you really have gone ’round the bend when morbidity becomes a method of argument.
I know LGM is a GOP plant sent here to incite and keep us fervent in our support for President McCain, but I find his entire post over the top offensive and I hope MM removes it.
And so is David Letterman. See for yourself. Then vs Now
Here, in esssence is what I wrote to CBS this morning:
I have taped the Letterman Show every night for the past 25 years or more for viewing the next day.
Last nite was not the first straw, but it certainly was the last straw.
Letterman, like other show biz libs are too stupid to realize that when they mouth off, they are alienating half of their audience.
I heard an interview with Ernest Borgnine last week. He was asked who he was going to vote for. He said I don’t discuss that. Half of my fans are on one side and half of them are on the other. I’m not going to insult any of them.
What a wise answer.
Letterman has as much between his ears as he does between his front choppers.
I will never ever watch him again, and as of tonight, I will begin taping Leno every night.
Does Letterman realize that he is an idiot?
Nah… probably not.
I stop watching that show ages ago.
