Dave Letterman, on his late-night comedy show, has been giving McCain all kinds of grief and bad press since McCain lied to him when cancelling a visit to his show a couple weeks ago. McCain had said he had to return right away to Washington DC to work on the economic crisis. But he went instead to another CBS studio in New York where he was taped for the Eveneing News interview with Katy Curic. So Letterman has been giving McCain a hard time. Today, McCain was in Philadelphia, finishing some campaign stops when he got on his campaign plane to fly to New York (actually Newark) to get to the show. The plane could not get a takeoff clearance as IFR flights were backed up into the New York area because of high winds and low ceilings.
So McCain chartered a helicopter for himself, his wife, a campaign aid and two Secret Service agents. The helicopter was taking off when the campaign plane finally got clearance. It must have been an interesting flight but they got to the Letterman show. The CBS Evening News showed a tape of him on the show.
That show can be seen tonight at 11:30 pm EDT.
