Very well put. I would love to see the numbers comparing those that watched the debate the night before and those that watched this segment.

I wonder how many of those that weren't in Obama's camp before watching this would shift over. McCain quite obviously told some flat out lies...again. And tried to gloss over embarrassing things that he had no answer for...again.

Gotta give him some credit, it would take a hefty set of balls to show up on Letterman's show after the stunt he pulled and relentless assault in the interim.

I would argue that, more or less, any mainstream candidate's campaign for the White House is "a runaway train that's zipping along rails made of slippery lies." I'm not impressed by either party enough to want to cast a vote in either direction.

There's a great posting on another video blog (OK, it's Crooksandliars.com), that I just have to approximately quote here: "Letterman looks more presidential than McCain". Looking at the old man getting caught in a crossfire of his own lies and contradictions, slowly and painfully waffling around multiple answers until deciding upon the "official version", I felt terribly sorry for McCain.

Sorry that he put himself on the pedestal of presidential contention. Sorry that he's been powerless while his campaign spiraled out of control into fear-mongering (what did Master Yoda say about the road that begins with fear?) and empty rhetoric. Sorry that he's flip-flopped on most issues to appease a Bush administration that brutally smeared him back in the first half of 2000 (the last time I rooted for the Arizona senator), because he thought it would advance his career opportunities, somewhat like Hillary Clinton voting for the Iraq resolution.

I've never hated the man, but he does not deserve your vote, only our sympathy as you do your patriotic duty come November and take your country towards a saner, more progressive direction.

Also, it's time to show the Karl Roves (and most importantly, their employers) of the world that their fucked up tactics are not foolproof and may in fact backfire horribly. Maybe my main wish this year is for the full-throttle Karl Rove gospel and its' flock to fade into oblivion.

yup, like a fart in the wind..

It's still alive. You'll have to wade through a commercial first, but it is there.
