NEW YORK (AP) -- "Late Show" host David Letterman kept up a verbal assault on John McCain Thursday, saying he felt like an "ugly date" because the GOP presidential candidate backed out of a scheduled appearance on his talk show.

The night before, Letterman had said McCain's decision to suspend his campaign to deal with the economic crisis "didn't smell right." Letterman substituted MSNBC's "Countdown" host - and critic of the Arizona senator - Keith Olbermann when McCain called him to say he wouldn't appear Wednesday.

The comic was unhappy when McCain sat for an interview with Katie Couric instead of him Wednesday - and even more perturbed to learn that McCain didn't leave New York until Thursday.

He said he felt like a "patriot" to let McCain off his commitment to deal with the economy and "now I'm feeling like an ugly date."

3. Having one of the most popular talk-show hosts out there declare war on you

can't be a good thing.

4. Cut and Run McCain

McCain is spontaneously combusting. With each new and ridiculous move he makes I find myself thinking, "What was he thinking!?!" Thank goodness he's giving the American people a good view of who he is and what we could expect from him as president -- a mean tempered old geezer who can't manage more than one thing at a time. It makes me wonder if he'd suspend the Iraq war to handle the worsening situation in Afghanistan. Some president he'd make. Not that I think we're going to have to worry about that. Oh the hilarity! Go David Letterman. What a dumb move on McCain's part.

6. It does seem like an incredibly dumb move on McCains part but

I remember hearing once that the difference between Republican and Democrat politics is that the assholes are playing chess while the Dems are playing checkers. They're always playing 6 moves down the line.I don't trust this or anything the cons ever do. Not even if it seems like they're screwing themselves.
