Letterman vs McCain - The video

Well that didn't take long to find. Here is a long version of what happened. Worth every second of it. One thing that I like is Dave shows sincere respect for what McCain has done for our country, and he is truly mad that he skipped town, but I don't blame him when McCain is really on a different show at the same network. You know, McCain is old, maybe he was just wondering???

Letterman Owns McCain

I would like to see this actual clip. But this is a quote from Letterman concerning John McCain canceling an appearance on his show. If anyone has the actual clip, please email it to me.

David Letterman tells audience that McCain called him today to tell him he had to rush back to DC to deal with the economy.

Then in the middle of the taping Dave got word that McCain was, in fact just down the street being interviewed by Katie Couric. Dave even cut over to the live video of the interview, and said, "Hey Senator, can I give you a ride home?"

Earlier in the show, Dave kept saying, "You don't suspend your campaign. This doesn't smell right. This isn't the way a tested hero behaves." And he joked: "I think someone's putting something in his Metamucil."

"He can't run the campaign because the economy is cratering? Fine, put in your second-string quarterback, Sarah Palin. Where is she?"

"What are you going to do if you're elected and things get tough? Suspend being president? We've got a guy like that now!"

The Hilo Hellian

Aaron is like a brother to me. I was not able to make it to the actual fight, and to be honest I don't know how I will be able to handle seeing him get hit. But this is his first fight. He does awesome and walks out without a scratch. He has been training for years and I think that is quite apparent. Aaron has been a significant influence in my life. He is respectful to every person. He is so talented in so many ways, but you would never know it by talking to him as he may be the most humble person I know. At least that is not an Okura. I have met almost his entire family and they are just as amazing as he is.

My RATM post

I love Rage Against the Machine, always have. This year they protested at both the Democratic National Convention as well as the Republican. They did it at the last presidential elections as well. These are free concerts that the band puts on. RATM lead singer, Zach de la Rocha actually led a march in Denver this year protesting the war in Iraq. The band split up for a few years while Zach was in Mexico working with politicians there trying to improve their country. He is very active in human rights, he doesn't just sing songs about it. Well the band reunited for the elections this year. I have been missing them over the last 8 years (there last show before the long break was the 2000 DNC), there has been a lot going on that they can sing about.

They have a rough sounding name and their songs are rough, but really they are for the equal treatment of all people. This year at the RNC the power was cut to their stage. So instead of fighting or disappearing they just went acapella.


Here are some of my other favorites from them.
