First of all, you ARE an ugly date and second of all if you expect a presidential candidate to be funny while the country's economy is in the toilet, then you are sadly misguided.

Too bad David. You are supposed to be a comic. But your relentless attacks on our president have finally caught up with you. If you were funny you might be #1 not #2 (or # 3) in the ratings. When Jay goes dark I'll be a regular Niteline viewer.

Too bad we don't have much for choice for late night comedy. I like Leno as a person but don't find him funny anymore. Letterman has some good skits but is an arrogant comedian with a wanna be 'anchor' attitude - in which he, of course, favors liberalism. I'd rather watch reruns of Hogan's Heros.

Letterman is just another Liberal who thinks he is more important than the rest of the country... he is not funny... he is not insightful in his monologues or interviews... and his elitist attitude towards the rest of the country is obvious... let him cozy up to Paris Hilton, a person so out of touch with reality, she makes letterman look lucid.

Letterman caught McSceerdy in a big fat bold lie. He was rushing to washington and suspended his campaign? No, McLiar was going to Couric to get exposure as the "non-partisan" who was actually staying in New York another 16 hours to "not campaign" in front of audiences and reporters...

I hope the Americans aren't a gullible as McFlipFlop thinks they are...

What a bunch of cry babies. Get over it. McCain came up with this lame idea and now it is backfiring on him. Don't commit to something if you are not going to follow through whather it is a debate or a TV show or a marriage.

Mr. Clinton has repeatedly described Mr. McCain, the Republican presidential nominee, as honest and trustworthy, though the Obama campaign has argued that Mr. McCain’s campaign rhetoric indicates otherwise. Mr. Clinton has missed few opportunities, while allowing that he disagrees politically with Mr. McCain, of Arizona, to say how much he likes the senator and to praise him for his support of Mr. Clinton’s efforts as president to normalize relations with Vietnam and intervene in Bosnia.

Mr. Clinton also went out of his way to praise Mr. McCain’s running mate, Gov. Sarah Palin of Alaska.“I come from Arkansas,” he told reporters,“I get why she’s hot out there.”

As comfortable as Mr. Clinton is in saying,“I like John McCain,” and “I like Sarah Palin,” no one seems to have heard him say the same for Mr. Obama. Instead, when speaking of Mr. Obama, the Democratic nominee, Mr. Clinton has assumed a professorial stance that sometimes drifts toward emotional aloofness and disregard.
Secretly he tells his people to vote MCCAIN/PALIN

Littleman is mad because he didn't have the huge surge in viewing he expected and it cost his "self interest" bonus, based on viewers.

Do you get cable on a regular basis in Butler? Did you miss the DNC convention where Clinton delivered an awesome speech congratulating and endorsing Obama?

"McCain spokeswoman Nicolle Wallace said Thursday that the campaign 'felt this wasn't a night for comedy.'"

Well if you can't catch comedy at McCain's expense on Letterman, you can certainly see it on most other channels. This is one of the ways that we, the American public, get through situations where we feel we have no voice, by making fun of the people who were responsible.

My personal favorite was how he took time out of his busy schedule to get to Washington just in time to derail the agreement that Congress had already made.

If Letterman did this to Obama, he might be charged with a hate crime.
