David Letterman tells audience that McCain called him today to tell him he had to rush back to DC to deal with the economy.
Then 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, Sara 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!" http://drudgereport.com/flash3cbm.htm

ABC News' Tahman Bradley Reports: A senior University of Mississippi official reacted Wednesday to the news that Sen. John McCain R-Ariz., wants to postpone Friday's presidential debate, saying that such a move would be "devastating" for the university which has already invested millions in preparation for the debate.
Andrew Mullins, special assistant to university Chancellor Robert Khayat, told ABC News that the Ole Miss campus has been transformed to accommodate the candidates and the press. Road blocks are in place on campus and in the community and the debate television set for the candidates has already been constructed. He said the university has spent roughly five and half million dollars getting ready for the debate.
Mullins also noted that if the Commission on Presidential Debates asks the campus to hold the debate at a later date, he is not sure the university would be able to accommodate them.
"It's huge. You cannot just say that you're not going to do this thing," Mullins said. "I don't have any idea whether we do the debate" at a later date. "(We) probably wouldn't do it."
For now, Mullins, says the university is proceeding like they're still having the debate until the commission makes a decision. The university was instructed by the commission on Wednesday to move forward as though the debate is still going to happen, Mullins said.
Sen. McCain, who suspended his campaign activity Wednesday, called for the debate to be postponed so that he could focus on the current economic crisis.
Bush is going to address the Nation tonight. OMG. I fully expect him to see we need McCain and Obama back in DC Friday Night to help solve the "crisis." What a bunch of BS.
And check it out, yes sir this is also about buying Sara Palin more prep time:

ABC News' Teddy Davis and Rigel Anderson Report:
The McCain campaign told ABC News on Wednesday that John McCain wants to postpone Friday's presidential debate until Thursday, Oct. 2.
The Arizona senator would like the vice presidential debate between Sarah Palin and Joe Biden, which is currently scheduled to take place on Thursday, Oct. 2 in St. Louis, Missouri, to be scheduled for a later unspecified date.
The details about what McCain is seeking, which were provided by a McCain aide who spoke on the condition of anonymity, came a few hours after the Republican presidential candidate announced that he was suspending campaigning so he could return to Washington, D.C., to try to forge a consensus on a financial bailout package.
McCain's public call for a debate delay was rebuffed by Barack Obama who joined fellow Democrats in arguing that a president needs to be able to multi-task.
"I believe that we should continue to have the debate," Obama said in Clearwater Florida. "It's my belief that this is exactly the time when the American people need to hear from the person who, in approximately 40 days, will be responsible for dealing with this mess."

boy letterman really went out of his way to call out senator mccain/palin. he seemed to hit on the point that mccain should allow palin to run the campaign....rather than suspend it if he is unavailable. he even said this is a test for palin. If she can't run a campaign in his absence can she run the white house? One thing I thought of is Matt Cassell taking over the N.E. Patriots QB slot when brady went down.......when dave mentioned the second string thing. but that was just me.

So after watching the whole video (See Letterman's website), It is clear that in addition to all the jokes, Letterman called McCain out and made a fool out of him for lying to Letterman about the cancellation. He called up Letterman and told him he was canceling to head back to Washington because of the economic crisis. Then Letterman catches him giving an interview to Couric at the same time.
In my view, that's like lying to Johnny Carson and having all of his millions of loyal viewers pissed off at you. Bad move. Now multiply that by ten since this is all over the internet now.
