Anybody See Letterman Last Night?

[KellerBear]

John McCain got caught in a really IDIOTIC lie...he had no need to lie...yet he did.

[baylorles]

My friends, the splashing sound you heard when Admiral McCain "called off" the debate was a shark being jumped.

Catch the Pitbull w/Lipstick interviewed by Katie Couric on you tube. it's a hoot! I tell ya!

[KellerBear]

You can tell by Couric's eyes that she is not happy.

[baylorles]

It's all good. Bill C.'s hitting every show he can talking about "The Great Man" and how women shouldn't feel bad voting for a woman even if that woman is diametrically opposed to everything the other woman stood for. Clinton V Palin 2012!

[SoTex]

I use to love Letterman, but he's become way too political.

[Bexar Fan]

....and he thinks it is funny.

[KellerBear]

I figure everything gets political around this time.

[KellerBear]

And whether he is too political or not...that was a real retard move by McCain.

[Volunteer]

What lie? Are you referring to cancelling the appearance on Letterman and then interviewing with Couric? Do we know what time the interview with Couric took place? Was it earlier in the day that Letterman? I believe Letterman is taped at 5:00pm. What time was the interview with Couric taped?

[Texas Golfer]

A lie according to Letterman and Keller spreads it around as gospel.

You, Keller, do not know the truth. You believe Letterman because you choose to believe Letterman's story. Did McCain follow up Couric with Rachel Ray? Letterman said he did, therefore, it must be the truth.

He's shutting down his campaign and backing out of the debate tomorrow to work on this economic crisis but he has time for Katie Couric? Golfer, are you saying he wasn't on Couric?

[Sic Em Bears]

"In the middle of the taping Dave got word that McCain was, in fact just down the street being interviewed by Katie Couric. Dave even cut over to the live video of the interview, and said, "Hey Senator, can I give you a ride home?"

Earlier in the show, Dave kept saying, "You don't suspend your campaign. This doesn't smell right. This isn't the way a tested hero behaves." And he joked: "I think someone's putting something in his metamucil."


"He can't run the campaign because the economy is cratering? Fine, put in your second string quarterback, Sarah Palin. Where is she?"


"What are you going to do if you're elected and things get tough? Suspend being president? We've got a guy like that now!"

John McCain, who announced yesterday afternoon that he was heading back to Washington D.C. to work on the bailout plan and temporarily suspending his campaign starting tomorrow, ended up canceling his appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman. Letterman wasn't too happy about that—especially since McCain was at the CBS News studios for an interview with Katie Couric. Watch the clip (Letterman sees a live feed of McCain getting makeup for his interview with Couric around 7 minutes in):

That's pretty belligerent of you to accuse me of spreading it around as Gospel as if I was throwing leaflets around my neighborhood. He got caught in a lie. I can understand a joke when I hear it...and Letterman was mad. So for you to call me out and say that me thinking McCain told a lie he could have not told is childish...just plain childish.

[baylorles]

I believe Letterman is taped at 5:00pm. Oh, 5 oclock!

That explains everything. McCain was at the Manhattan Luby's getting the Senior Early Bird Special.

How insensitive of Letterman and Keller.

Keller, do the honorable thing and stop attacking Sen (and former POW) McCain. He gets a pass. On everything. Plus he's qualified. For you to attack him is just dishonorable. And unpatriotic.

Boo.

When did you finally turn the corner Les?

[ChipOC]

McCain canceled his appearance. Letterman was ****ed and so what does he do? He invites ultra anti-right Keith Olbermann on. Yeah Letterman is impartial. For the record, McCain's spokesman said he felt it was inappropriate to do a comedy appearance given the economic circumstances. I don't have a problem with that.

Do you suppose he talked about the economy on Couric's show?

[ChipOC]

When did you finally turn the corner Les?
Les turned the corner at birth. Go search the other site for alamobear. We became friends from arguing politics there years ago.

The fact that he said it was "not a nigh for comedy" is not the problem. The fact is he could have told Letterman that. Sure, Letterman still would have been ****ed, but he would have done the right thing and not lied.

[KellerBear]

And talking about the economy on Couric's show down the street is not the same as getting on an emergency flight to DC to help with the Bailout proceedings.

[atxtraveler]

Luckily it will not sway my vote.

Politics - break this thing down.

Poly - Many

Tics - Blood Sucking Bugs.

There you have it.

[ChipOC]

Do you think McCain called the show himself to cancel? Who lied?

[KellerBear]

Do you think McCain called the show himself to cancel? Who lied?

Letterman said he was called by McCain...not McCain's campaign...and why wouldn't we as voters want the candidate to have his hand on the workings of his campaign members?

[Bexar Fan]

Gee, I wonder if it is possible that McCain had time to do the Couric show, but not to do the later Letterman show? He did in fact go back to Washinton.

Is it possible that Letterman was either a) ****ed about the last minute cancellation or b) partisan? He seemed ****ed to me. Of course that doesn't by itself rule out partisanship.

[FIJIFan]

No matter what, I think CBS is more ****ed than anyone else. Letterman took a CBS feed and put it on his show without letting ANY CBS people know!

http://www.nypost.com/seven/09262008/tv/mad_about_letterman_130739.htm

[KellerBear]

CBS should be ****ed, but Letterman owns his show and his production company so he can do what he wants. Letterman brings in millions of dollars for CBS, and if I was Letterman I would be ****ed if anybody cancelled on me on that short of notice and lied about it...because it is unprofessional.

So, yes, of course he was ****ed....who wouldn't be? Second, everyone is partisan to a point, but whether or not you are a Democrat or a Republican, he should have just told Letterman that he didnt feel it was appropriate to be on his show at that time and that he was going to be on a news show. Also, he could have done it a day before...since he has been saying he is going back to Washington for two days now.

[baylorles]

Like Dave said, McBush should have just sent the Hockey Mom, I'm sure she could have handled it, what with being a 74 year old heartbeat away from the Preznitzy and all.

She's a doozy, I tell ya!

[cowboycwr]

wow reading through this it shows me how much, or rather how little, people actually pay attention to the story.

As point out he may have had time for one show but not the other. He did go back to Washington as was pointed out. And he is going to the debate, unlike someone said.

I could say the same thing about your logic...since he could have told Dave that he was going to do Couric instead and instead lied about it and said he was rushing to the airport to catch an emergency flight to DC.

Maybe you should try reading everything again.

Do you have any proof that he did that? Do you have any proof that he only had time for one show and not the other? IF you do please share either of those because I haven't seen that. However it is fact that he went back to Washington to work on the bailout (unlike some have claimed) and is attending the debate (like some have claimed).

[baylorles]

Wow, there's going to be a debate? I thought McSame called that off? What the heck? I'da thought Barry Obama woulda jumped and followed what the Old Soldier said to do by golly.

[KellerBear]

cowboycwr,

McCain did Couric's show...then went to a dinner in New York...then stayed at a hotel in New York. Hardly, a basis for telling someone you were rushing to an airport. The proof is in the first video I posted...or the many articles that have been written about it...or the many news segments on TV...tune in, man.

I guess I can't reply to your PM but the answer is:

Bear/Woods? Pope/Catholic?

[Texas Golfer]

He's shutting down his campaign and backing out of the debate tomorrow to work on this economic crisis but he has time for Katie Couric? Golfer, are you saying he wasn't on Couric?

I'm saying that we don't know if the Couric interview was before the Letterman show or during as Letterman is claiming. But, after Letterman's tirade on that show and his Anti-McCain Top 10 list last night, he's not likely to ever have McCain or Palin on his show.

And he will be at the debate regardless of whether or not an agreement is made.

[KellerBear]

The Couric show was being taped at the same time, that is why CBS is mad that Letterman jacked their live SAT feed.

[Texas Golfer]

The fact is that you are choosing to believe Letterman's version of why McCain cancelled. McCain could have told him that it wasn't a night for comedy and Letterman, apparently, knew that he was interviewing with Couric before starting his tirade, hense the "live feed".

Since McCain said earlier that he wouldn't be leaving NYC until Thursday morning, after his speech at Clinton's Conference, don't you think Letterman, in his all-knowing of everything would have known that he wasn't rushing to an airplane? So, I'm thinking McCain told him it wasn't a night for comedy and Letterman, being the partisan hack that he is, took the opportunity to try to discredit him.

But, you can continue to eliminate facts and choose to believe liberal versions of the "truth".

And YOU are choosing to not believe Letterman, even though this stuff has been written about in articles in newspapers and websites, and covered on news stations. Also, so WHAT is McCain said he was staying until Thursday earlier that morning! If i told someone I was staying through the night, then told them I couldn't see them because I was rushing to the airport, then I would expect that I would be leaving right then and there.

You can continue to eliminate facts and make up "what-ifs", and go watch nothing but FOX news...becuse everything else must be "liberal", right?

Geez, I posted that video, because I thought it was funny...but I see that politics on this board cannot generate a civilized discussion. The funny thing is, is that I am NOT a democrat...I just like to find out about all the candidates. And yet some of you jump on me and tell me I am spreading lies...get over yourself.

[KellerBear]

and give me examples that show that Letterman is a partisan hack?

:laugh: Yeah, I know I turn to Letterman to know about the candidates.

Since McCain said earlier in the day that he was leaving after his speech to Clinton's conference on Thursday, I knew Letterman's excuse was bogus when I saw it Wednesday night.

[Texas Golfer]

and give me examples that show that Letterman is a partisan hack?

Have you ever seen Letterman before Wednesday night? :lol:

[KellerBear]

Have you ever answered a question without trying to make a joke at another person;s expense?

Did I ever say I get all my political info from Letterman?

Please man...

[Texas Golfer]

I can't help it. This is just so funny.

Obama's connections with Ayers, Farrakhan, Wright, Pfleger, Rezko, and the many who Obama gave hundreds of thousands of dollars to in grants that the money was misused goes without comment from the liberals and MSM but you're worried whether or not McCain told Letterman the truth as to the reason he didn't make his show. :lol:

Sorry. :laugh:

Oops. Sorry again. :laugh:

See, I can't help it. It's just too funny.

[KellerBear]

you know what...first off...you dont know me..or anything about what I know

and second, to call me a "liar" was complete crap...and coming from a grown man.

[cowboycwr]

cowboycwr,

The proof is in the first video I posted...or the many articles that have been written about it...or the many news segments on TV...tune in, man.

What about the time that the two shows were recorded? Or the fact that McCain told Big teeth that he didn't think it was time for jokes? Or the fact that there could be several other reasons besides the ones that Letterman is saying and to take his word on why someone else cancelled is 3rd party information.

[KellerBear]

i guess i'll just chalk it up to the fact that everyone in the world is a partisan hack.

[The Banterer]

you know what...first off...you dont know me..or anything about what I know

and second, to call me a "liar" was complete crap...and coming from a grown man.

Unfortunately, it's par for the course on the politics board over here. Things have a tendency to get very emotional, very quickly.

[Texas Golfer]

Calm down, Dude. I didn't call you a liar. I said you're spreading rumors. There's a difference.

[Texas Golfer]

To be fair, it's not just here. It's worse on BF.com

[KellerBear]

Calm down, Dude. I didn't call you a liar. I said you're spreading rumors. There's a difference.

You said I was "spreading lies like it was gospel"...which would make me a liar.

[atxtraveler]

Guys... lets bring it back to the topic at hand. No personal attacks.

[The Banterer]

There's no reason to not believe Letterman here. If anyone can find a reason based on fact or logic, then I'd love to hear it.

The issue here isn't that McCain canceled on Letterman, **** happens, but rather that he lied to him about it. It's a character issue. Now if we want to take a cynical approach to the discussion, then all politicians at this level are probably liars. It does seem unusual that McCain would lie though, in a situation where there would've been no repercussions for the truth.

[Texas Golfer]

You said I was "spreading lies like it was gospel"...which would make me a liar.

Well, this is post is a lie. I never said that quote. You said Letterman said McCain lied about the reason he cancelled his appearance. I said it was a lie "according to Letterman". The actual quote was:

"A lie according to Letterman and Keller spreads it around as gospel."

You either need to take a break because your partisanship is making you very emotional or you need to brush up on your reading comprehension. I never called you a liar. You're just spreading rumors because you don't know what actually transpired.

[Texas Golfer]

Guys... lets bring it back to the topic at hand. No personal attacks.

I never personally attacked Keller. I never called him a liar. He can misquote me all he wants to try to justify his complaints but the facts remain.

[Texas Golfer]

It does seem unusual that McCain would lie though, in a situation where there would've been no repercussions for the truth.

:laugh: There's no reason not to believe a partisan talk show host but every reason not to believe someone who previously and very publically stated that he wasn't leaving until Thursday after the Clinton conference.

This is becoming more than comical.

[baylorles]

You said Letterman said McCain lied about the reason he cancelled his appearance. I said it was a lie "according to Letterman". The actual quote was:

"A lie according to Letterman and Keller spreads it around as gospel."Wow, Keller, can't you see the huge difference?

[Texas Golfer]

Wow, Keller, can't you see the huge difference?

Wow, liberals only do see what they want to see. I thought it was a myth.

[KellerBear]

So...if I was spreading something that Letterman considers a lie and that you consider a lie on a different level (since you believe Letterman is lying)...than wouldn't I then be a spreader of lies? Which then would be a way of dancing around calling someone a liar?

And by the way, you can take cheap shots....but my reading comprehension is just fine.

[KellerBear]

BTW, never been lumped into a category with liberals...this has to be a first.

[Limnos]

Let it go boys. Get it back on track please or it will be time to lock her down.

[KellerBear]

Go ahead and lock it down...might as well let my thread die.
