I'm sorry I missed this telecast.

McCain, Letterman spar on 'Late Show'
April 2, 2008

NEW YORK (AP) — Republican presidential candidate John McCain good-naturedly sparred with David Letterman on Tuesday night's Late Show.

During his monologue, Letterman joked that the Arizona senator reminded him of "the guy at the hardware store who makes the keys" and "the guy who can't stop talking about how well his tomatoes are doing."

After Letterman added that McCain looked like "the guy who points out the spots they missed at the car wash," the senator appeared on stage.

"You think that stuff's pretty funny, don't you?" McCain asked, then added: "Well, you look like a guy whose laptop would be seized by the authorities."

McCain also said the host resembled the guy caught smuggling reptiles in his pants, to which Letterman replied, "Don't knock it if you haven't tried it."

The candidate also likened Letterman to the manager of a creepy motel, the guy who enjoys watching his swim trunks inflate in a hot tub and the guy about whom neighbors later say, "He mostly kept to himself."

Actually the interview video is there on youtube as well from that night. This is not an endorsement (or political statement)...but maybe McCain should do a lot of these night show circuit appearances. He comes off a lot more human, alive and intelligent to me here than on the campaign trail where he is too stiff and calculated for my tastes. I think he gives a much better interview than most current politicians. Just an observation...not saying he's necessarily got my vote.

Here is hoping Ron Paul joins the race as a third party candidate.
