Aside from all the events that were going on last night (which I will cover later) I had to mention this about John McCain because I’ve been following both McCain and Obama’s speeches all week. As we all know, McCain wants to postpone the debates because he has “so much work to do” because of the down fall of our economy and he has to “return back to Washington”. Consequently, McCain pulled out of his scheduled appearance on the “Late Show with the David Letterman.” Read more after the jump to find out where McCain REALLY WAS….

But midway through the broadcast, Letterman appeared to learn that the Arizona senator was actually still in New York. In fact, McCain was just a few blocks away, at the CBS News headquarters. He was preparing for a last-minute exclusive interview with Katie Couric.

Incredulous, Letterman interrupted his interview with Keith Olbermann (who had filled in as a substitute guest for McCain) to show the audience a live shot on the internal CBS News feed of a makeup artist putting the finishing touches on McCain while he waited to talk to Couric.

“He doesn’t seem to be racing to the airport, does he?” Letterman said, shouting at the television monitor: “Hey, John, I got a question! You need a ride to the airport?”

The senator and the comedian have always had a friendly rapport. If McCain had appeared as planned on Wednesday, it would have been his 13th appearance on Letterman’s show. It was the venue where he announced his White House bid in 2007.
