The Economy's About to Creator...

Not only has McCain suspended his campaign and is trying to postpone the Presidential Debate for Friday in lieu of the country’s financial crisis, but he hit the ultimate low yesterday when he cancelled his appearance on the David Letterman show 90 minutes before the scheduled taping. McCain apologized for his absence, "I have to go back and fix the economy. I'm going to get on a plane now and go." However, he did manage to appear on Katie Couric’s show that same day.

Letterman wasn’t too happy last night, which is evident in his monologue, but he was hilarious! He did, however, divulge his respect for the war hero before cutting him down. This post is dedicated to the funniest parts of Letterman’s opening monologue in regards to McCain’s cancellation. As a disclaimer, I am not completely against McCain, I just don’t agree with how he handled this situation.
