McCain Can't Multi-Task

This video is perhaps the most necessary viewing material to come out of the past few weeks. Yesterday, as part of McCain's movement to "suspend his campaign," he canceled an appearance on The Late Show With David Letterman only hours before it was set to tape.

Letterman, a longtime TV personality and essentially, broadcast journalist, abandoned the entertainer/non-biased interview side of things and told audiences what he really thought: That he was "more than a little disappointed by this behavior," that it was scary that McCain did not trust Sarah Palin to handle the campaign in his absence, and that it was frightening to think that McCain could not handle two things at once, giving the impression that he could just quit on obligations while serving as president.

McCain called Letterman personally, saying that he was racing to the airport and "going to go save the country." The senator, unaware that most TV studios have satellite TVs where employees can watch other network programs being filmed, was seen only a few minutes later getting his makeup done on the set of the Evening News with Katie Couric, and not "racing" to D.C. at all.

Guest Keith Olbermann summed it up bluntly: "I think he dissed you." I think he disrespected all of us.
