John McCain even lies to his celebrity friends.

Senator McCain was scheduled to be on “The Late Show: with David Letterman” this evening; however, he cancelled his appearance because, according to his campaign, he had to immediately fly to Washington in order to deal with the economic crisis.

The Senator himself placed a phone call to host David Letterman telling him that he would have to cancel his appearance at the last minute because of his sudden need to help set the wayward economy back on course. Of course, John McCain has had many chances to take part in the work done by the Senate – too bad he’s missed 401 out of 632 votes in Congress while campaigning.

But, I suppose it’s comforting for him to be stepping up to the plate now to take part in the clean-up of this economic disaster -considering he is partly to blame for championing deregulation with his pal Phill Gramm, passing legislation that paved the way for this impending economic implosion.

I’m bird-walking, so let’s get back to John McCain lying to his celebrity friends.

So David Letterman believes McCain and thanks him for the phone call. Then, he comes to find out that John McCain isn’t on a flight back to Washington, nor is he on his way to the airport, nor is he stuck in traffic on route to his “Straight Talk Express”, no…he’s being interviewed.

By who?

CBS’s Katie Couric, in the CBS Evening News studio, just down the street from “The Late Show” studio.

If you’re going to lie John McCain, you might want to consider not doing it to someone who’s on the same network as the interview you decided to give to try to politcize the financial crisis. I know McCain doesn’t understand fancy technology very well, but there are these things called network feeds that people in production booths have access to…

You’ve gotta love David Letterman for saying what sooo many people were thinking. Enjoy.
