Letterman Bitch Slaps McCain on "Terrorist" Remarks

Here are the highlights, folks. And I guess I'm mostly peeved that McCain tried to turn this all into a joke. I mean: Yeah. The Late Show is a comedy show. But Dave had the guts to ask McCain a lot of things other journalists haven't bothered to ask, and McCain awkwardly tried to blow him off. You just sort of feel like McCain was staring at the clock and praying for his segment to end.

My favorite part: McCain is all, like, "Well, Obama hasn't been open about his relationship with Ayers. He said he was a guy from the neighborhood, and we know there's more to it than that." And then, when asked about G. Gordon Liddy, McCain initially says, "Who? Oh, that guy. Yeah. I met him once." And then, after the commercial break, he's all, like, "Oh, that G. Gordon Liddy. Oh, him. Yeah, we're best buds. I hang out with his kid. But this is different. Liddy served time!"

So, if Ayers had spent some time in jail, then I'm sure he and Obama's non-existent relationship would've been just fine.
