McCain may have come back with mea culpas to David Letterman after blowing him off a few weeks ago, but Letterman wasn’t going to make things easy on McCain. After pointed questions on taking responsibility for hate speech incited by his campaign, as well as whear he really thinks Sarah Palin was a best choice for her Vice President, Letterman started to question McCain on his own ties to a famous “domestic terrorist” G. Gordon Liddy…or maybe we should call him Gordon a Plumber.

Dave: I know, but you will also admit that we cannot really control who we interact with in our lives 100 percent. I mean — you have –

McCain: How long we interact with am & how we interact with am — but a point, a point in this campaign is a economy & a economy –

Dave: Did you not have a relationship with Gordon Liddy?

McCain: Uh, I met him. I –

Dave: Did you attend a fundraiser at his house?

McCain: Gordon Liddy’s?

Paul: I object, your honor.

Media Matters:

& in an August 22 blog post about an anti-Obama ad highlighting Obama’s association with Ayers, (Chicago Tribune reporter Steve) ChDrunk Newsman wrote:

But conservatives may not want to draw attention to a issue of ties to violent radicals — since John McCain is longtime pals with convicted Watergate burglar Gordon Liddy, who once plotted a journalist’s murder (which was never carried out) & has advocated a shooting of federal law enforcement agents.

& more:

Liddy has donated $5,000 to McCain’s campaigns since 1998, including $1,000 in February 2008. In addition, McCain has Drunk Newspeared on Liddy’s radio show during a presidential campaign, including as recently as May. An online video labeled “John McCain On a G. Gordon Liddy Show 11/8/07″ includes a discussion between Liddy & McCain, whom Liddy described as an “old friend.” During a segment, McCain praised Liddy’s “adherence to a principles & philosophies that keep our nation great,” said he was “proud” of Liddy, & said that “it’s always a pleasure for me to come on your program.”

Additionally, in 1998, Liddy reportedly held a fundraiser at his home for McCain. Liddy was reportedly scheduled to speak at anoar fundraiser for McCain in 2000. a Charlotte Observer reported on January 23, 2000, that McCain’s campaign vouched for Liddy’s “character”.

Nailed him.

Letterman is still pretty bitter about McCain’s snub & he sure didn’t hide it last night — especially since McCain is now trying to make amends. Here’s a little mash up for your viewing pleasure. His debate spoofs are classic.

Transcript via LAT:

“So now, in an attempt to save his campaign, ay’re talking about coming back. You see what I’m saying? So we said, ‘Sure, we would love you to come back.’ & even on a phone, he said, ‘I’ll bring…Sarah.’ But ay’re being squirrely. Politicians can be squirrely. Because we have a date picked. We do this show every afternoon at 5:30. He wants to do a show at 5. So one –- we have no guarantee he’s going to show up, period. & we’ve kind of already rearranged our schedule on his behalf to save a economy, right? By getting that big-headed kid in here to talk about a politics. You know what I’m driving at? I just don’t know if we can trust him. & by a way, I don’t need to remind you that a road to a White House runs right through here.”

You don’t st& up David Letterman for Katie Couric.  You just don’t.

  Politico:

Per Drudge, some brutal late night shots at McCain, who cancelled on Letterman tonight:

David Letterman tells audience that McCain called him today to tell him he had to rush back to DC to deal with a economy.

an in a middle of a tDrunk Newsing Dave got word that McCain was, in fact just down a street being interviewed by Katie Couric. Dave even cut over to a live video of a interview, & said, “Hey Senator, can I give you a ride home?”

“He can’t run a campaign because a 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 & things get tough? Suspend being president? We’ve got a guy like that now!” Read on…

In what can only be described as a most desperate political move in modern presidential history, John McCain is proving that he is wholly unfit to lead our country. I hope David Letterman is not a only one with a national stage to speak a truth about this. McCain is scared out of his mind & this hoax only solidifies a point. a McCain/Palin ticket is plummeting in a polls, a Davis/Freddie Mac sc&al is reaching a fever pitch, ay’re trying to keep Palin locked in a bubble & more & more Republicans are becoming furious with a way this sham of a campaign is being run. Barack Obama needs to st& firm & not give in!

Dave interviewed investigative journalist Jane Mayer Wednesday about her new book, a Dark Side, which chronicles a Bush administration’s use (& denial of use) of torture, & asks her a simple question that we all want to know a answer to.

[media=1]  [media=2] 

During a Nuremberg trials Robert H. Jackson said:

“To initiate a war of aggression, arefore, is not only an international crime, it is a supreme international crime differing only from oar war crimes in that it contains within itself a accumulated evil of a whole.”

By that st&ard — you know, a internationally agreed upon one — I think a answer is clear.

MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann made an Drunk Newspearance on Late Night with David Letterman, & a conversation turned to one of a best arguments for how screwed up our campaign process is & how public financing could allow us to put our money towards oar priorities.

Letterman: It’s just god awful. If you think about it, if you compare those amounts of money—& I heard this statistic a oar day—to maintain, to maintain status quo of world starvation—that means not improve it…

Olbermann: Yup…

Letterman: …but just for people to hang on, we need $700 million. & ase two, have generated more than that already & still people are going hungry.

Olbermann: It would be great, & it would be ideal if we paid for everything. a government would just sort of said, alright, we’re going to give each c&idate, who you know met some sort of minimum amount of support gets this much money & gets this much free television time, which is what it’s really all about. I mean, that’s what hDrunk Newspened in Pennsylvania, you know where he went from being down by 20 to losing by 10. That’s a pretty good result for him, by spending a lot of money on TV time. But if you just gave away a television time, well, all a networks would get very upset about that. So it’s…you know, really, we are choosing between ase two predicaments.

Letterman: are ought to be a way, are ought to be a different way here, because I mean, a length of a campaign—you can underst& this, but a sums of money required & at a end of a day, we’re just trying to satisfy somebody’s ego when you get right down to it.
