Pants on Fire

John McCain has dropped a few, ah, "untruths" during his campaign so far… but this is one of the stupidest ones yet, and where the Media has let a lot of the past ones slide, this time someone called him out on it.

David Letterman busted McCain's balls but good.

On TV.

Watch the Late Show tonight to see what happens when a presidential candidate uses the biggest US financial crisis since the Great Depression as an excuse to blow off one TV appearance for another, the new one with a cuter interviewer during Prime Time. That link has the full story, and it's ridiculous.

So, Mr. McCain – are you suspending your campaign because the economy is still fundamentally strong a wreck, or because you're scared stiff of the competition?

I love the smell of burning trousers in the evening… it smells like… victory.


[On a side note: I love that the McCain replacement on Letterman was Keith Olbermann; the MSNBC commentator delivers the righteous smackdown to the NeoCons and Right-wingers like no other. Follow the link for some greatest hits… I especially love this and this.]
