Most of us saw Lettermen's relentless and scathing mockery of John McCain last night. Apparently, he's not finished with McCain--because he was back at it lambasting the old rogue and his clueless sidekick.
Tonight his Top 10 list is called: "surprising facts about Sarah Palin," with each one of them read by actual citizens of Wasilla, Alaska!
No. 10 is: Palin "sometimes calls John McCain grandpa."
No. 9 is: "She stole that sexy libriarian look from me."
No. 8 is: "Recently passed legislation to build a bridge to funky town."
No. 7 is: "Does great impressions of Tina Fey."
No. 6 is: "Favorite meal, moose nuggets and beaver jerkey."
No. 5 is: "Working on a night rider spinoff about a talking snowmobile."
No. 4 is: "Favorite book? Late Show Fun Facts! Available at fine stores everywhere!"
No. 3 is: "Once spent a week in the hospital after attempting to put lipstick on a pit bull!"
No. 2 is: "To improve her foreign policy experience she recently went to the international house of pancakes."
No. 1 is: "Only person I know who is not afraid to go hunting with Dick Cheney!"
From Huffington Post Dave started his opening monologue with:
"You're here on a good night," he told the audience. "So far none of our guests have canceled."
He talked about daredevil David Blaine's feat of hanging upside down in New York's Central Park for 60 hours.
"They just left the guy hanging there," he said. "It's the same thing McCain did to me last night."
He described socialite Paris Hilton Thursday's guest whose celebrity was once used in a McCain campaign ad to mock Obama as McCain's first choice for a running mate.
"Here's how it works: you don't come to see me? You don't come to see me? Well, we might not see you on Inauguration Day," Letterman said.
I'll update this with video as soon as I find it.
Update: He's up in a few minutes, if anyone knows how to YouTube from the screen, we'd all appreciate it!
Update 2: "Bush said he believes that Democrats and Republicans can come together in bipartisanship. Do you know what that means folks? It means Bush is drinking again!"
Update 3: "I feel like an ugly date!"
Update 4: Added the Top 10!
