Don't Dis' Dave!

In yet another major faux pas (they're coming several a day now from Camp McCain), John McCain bailed out of an appearance on this evening's "Late Night With David Letterman" show – part of his emergency "drop everything" act in the face of a national crisis.

Commentary on the very unpresidential act of dropping out of an historic campaign to handle an historic economic downturn is already feeling passe´. If McCain can't multitask no, or employ his Veep to act as his proxy on one or the other, then he's not made of the stuff required to run the most powerful nation the world has ever seen, no?

However, what could turn into an even bigger gaffe, at least in terms of media exposure, was blowing off Dave tonight, although it's not so much blowing him off as how he did it – with yet another lie.
