Hmm. President Clinton and DAVE.

One who *wants* to be president, suddenly cancelled an appearance on Letterman, and now he is vilified each evening on this show.

One who *was* president is making a rare appearance on Letterman, and is answering some piercing and insightful questions that are important to the whole world. (It was a rerun of a show from September.)

I just wonder about a man (McCain) who seems to be so out of touch that he would so profoundly underestimate the political strength of late night talk shows. It hasn't (to my knowledge, at least) been publicized yet who made the call to blow off Letterman and his show, but if it was a "maverick" decision, we don't really want that kind of ill-informed decision making in the Oval Office. Not with world peace at stake.
