If you're on the West Coast - it starts about 20 minutes into the show - around 11:50pm...could this be his "Arsenio" moment?
A must see...
Kerry's "Top 10 Bush Tax Proposals" are:
10. No estate tax for families with at least two U.S. presidents.
9. W-2 Form is now Dubya-2 Form.
8. Under the simplified tax code, your refund check goes directly to Halliburton.
7. The reduced earned income tax credit is so unfair, it just makes me want to tear out my lustrous, finely groomed hair.
6. Attorney General (John) Ashcroft gets to write off the entire U.S. Constitution.
5. Texas Rangers can take a business loss for trading Sammy Sosa.
4. Eliminate all income taxes; just ask Teresa (Heinz Kerry) to cover the whole damn thing.
3. Cheney can claim Bush as a dependent.
2. Hundred-dollar penalty if you pronounce it "nuclear" instead of "nucular."
1. George W. Bush gets a deduction for mortgaging our entire future.

Besides reading his "Top 10" list, Kerry also poked fun at the
tedious debate negotiations between the rival campaigns that ended
in agreement Monday. Kerry said he wanted running mate John Edwards
to stand in the vice presidential debate, but Cheney wanted to sit.
"We compromised and now George Bush is going to sit on Dick
Cheney's lap," he said.
Both Bush and Democratic rival Al Gore appeared on "The Late
Show" in 2000. Bush has not appeared on any late-night comedy
shows in this campaign. Kerry also has appeared on Comedy Central's
"The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" and "The Tonight Show with Jay
Leno" on NBC.
Kerry's interview with Letterman wasn't all jokes. The
Massachusetts senator spent much of his appearance discussing
serious topics ranging from global warming to the beheading of an
American hostage in Iraq. He talked about where he thinks the
president has gone wrong in Iraq and what changes he would make as
commander in chief.
Kerry appeared on the CBS show on the same day the network
apologized for broadcasting a story questioning Bush's National
Guard service. He joked about CBS' credibility when Letterman asked
if poll numbers can be believed. "Depending on which network it
is, we can," Kerry said with a chuckle.
