Watching Letterman. McCain blew him off this evening. OMG, is he pissed.

"Are we suspending it (the campaign) because of the economy, or because the poll numbers are sliding?"

In other news,
About why Secretary Paulson asked for seven hundred billion dollars:

"It's not based on any particular data point," a Treasury spokeswoman told Forbes.com Tuesday. "We just wanted to choose a really large number."

With that, satire writers sadly capped their pens and added monster.com to their bookmark bar.

McCain is also trying to blow off the debate tomorrow night. I guess to at least have a semblance of consistency, he had to blow off Letterman, too.

"I can't go to the debate."
"But you had time for Letterman?"

(This is not, by the way, an apologia for McCain, who I fervently hope gets trounced on 11/4. I think he should get his ass to both Letterman and the debate.)

According to what I read, McCain blew off Letterman to be interviewed by Katie Couric, the reason being that Palin did such a lousy job on that one (too) that he had to step in and apply lots of spackle.

As did his make-up artist.

Now the question making the rounds is whether the folks who made fun of John Edwards for his $400 haircut are also going to call McCain on his $5500+ make-up jobs. But they didn't call him on his $500 shoes, so, maybe not.

There is also genuine concern as to whether McCain is exhausted, ill, or a little of both, and is covering up.

Oh, god, did you see the Palin interview? Painful. I watched it a second time, trying to imagine her behind a podium at the White House...and I just got twitchy.

It was pathetic. Some folks on the liberal blogs confessed they felt a little sorry for her.
