McCain Campaign Disaster II

Often we hesitate to jump on the bandwagon of bloggery, and in normal circumstances yet another fear-mongering TV appearance by Bush (always a sign of category 5 shit storm) over 700 Billion, a sum worth more than all the property in San Francisco, Seattle, and Portland, would be vastly more important that McCain blowing off the Letterman Show.

Not today. The reason is that David Letterman essentially catches McCain in the act of dissembling over the circumstances of canceling the appearance, in front of a national audience, as John McCain gets made up for Katie Couric on a live feed, looking vain and foolish. And Letterman delivers one of the best rants of the year.

Noted: the Laird's earliest take on the Palin nomination being a key mistake has held up.
