Went to a debate watching party. I watched all of it.

McNasty has difficulty lifting his arms because he broke them when he bailed out and didn't follow his training that would have prevented him breaking his arms. He has no trouble turning his head and he can lift his arms, does it all the time waving at supporters, both arms at the same time.

To put some perspective on this, say you've got a date with a guy (or lady) who calls you up an hour beforehand and says, his mother is dieing and he has to rush out of town to be by her side so he can't take you out. Then you find out that on his way to his dieing mother's side, he had went to a movie/dinner/concert whatever, with the little hottie across the street, spent the night, and then finally left town the next day. You know you're not all that, but you at least feel like you deserve some respectful treatment, some honesty from the cad. Would you make a date with him again? If you would, I'm sorry for you. Maybe he was just a dumb@ss who double booked himself by accident, but if he didn't have the strength of character to handle it with honesty he doesn't need to call me again.
Maybe David is being childish, but we often are when we feel hurt or used. John McCain should have thought about the possible ramifications *before* he treated him the way he did. He could have just called him up and said "I don't think it's appropriate for me to appear on a comedy show when the nation is facing the most devestating financial crisis in decades." Then he wouldn't have given Letterman any material to work with.
The only thing that I have never understood is
why people like McCain ... and a bevy of others
... ever agree to go onto shows like Letterman's
in the first place. Letterman's political bias
is certainly not a secret and he has used McCain
as the butt of dozens of junior high level barbs
for months now. McCain should have told Letterman
that he had no interest in appearing on the show
at all. Same thing with SNL or any other show
that has used him for sarcastic and adolescent
comments.

As for Letterman's feelings, I'll care about his
feelings when he takes into consideration the
manner in which his snide and acidic brand of
"humor" may hurt the feelings of those who are
the targets of his one liners every night during
the first 10 minutes of his show. They have no
access to comment or reply to what Letterman
believes is sophisticated "humor."

On those few occasions when someone on his show
has dared to stand up to his bitterness and
acidity Letterman has not handled it well,
becoming insolent and combative, unable to keep
his composure.

I guess that makes you more qualified. A few drinks into it and you didn't even know what he was saying.

I think Letterman's dry humor is great and everytime he comes back to McCain standing him up is a scream. I hope he keeps it up until after the election. It's hilarious.
Apparently you are easily entertained.

Letterman was made for you, as repetition
is his style.

Let me guess: you have a shelf full of his
"Top 10" lists and call it a library.

Thank you, Ghost, I always want to know when I am wrong. Yes, he did break both arms and injured his knee when he ejected from his plane. It was NOT by the torture. In fact, I could not find any permanent injuries from torture. He has degenerative arthritis in his knee and both shoulders (makes it hurt a lot when he does raise his arms) and it seems to affect his neck also. He may face total joint replacement of both shoulders and the knee. The only pain med he uses is Tylenol. Maybe that is why he is angry with his wife who became so addicted to pain medicine she stole it from her charity.

And maybe, that is why he has such a hair trigger temper. Chronic pain can do that. It said McCain has above average intelligence.

And you are wrong again. I do so love people who think that they know everything. That may be true in your viewing the debate, but speak for yourself.
