Late Night Diatribes

Last night as I sat down to munch on a carrot (which was a ploy to keep me away from the triscuits, which didn’t end up working, I just ate both) I flipped on the TV.  I had a DVD ready to go and planned on just flipping the video switch when Letterman’s voice caught my attention.

He was tearing into McCain like I’ve never seen anyone torn into before.  Unfortunately, this minute or so blurb doesn’t relay the full rancor of Letterman’s attacks.  It was clear this was a personal issue for him.  He deeply respects John McCain and I think that he is feeling what most independent minded Americans are feeling from McCain: total betrayal through stunning incompetence.

Finding a live feed of McCain getting ready to talk to Katie Couric when he told Letterman he has to “rush back to Washington” was just dumping kerosene all over the inferno.  Dave didn’t let him off the hook all night.

Seeing as late night was on a roll, I stayed tuned in for Craig Ferguson.  I can’t wait for Conan to take Leno’s spot so I can watch Ferguson more often.  His show is completely powered by his personality, an energy source that seems inexhaustible.  Anyway, he had his own fair share of political words for he evening, venting about the bank bail out and McCain’s ridiculous campaign suspension.

Strange times.
