David Letterman made it no secret how he feels about John McCain's cancellation Wednesday of a scheduled appearance on the funny man's "Late Show" on CBS -- devoting his monologue to vent about the cancellation and mentioning it with disapproval throughout the show.
"I'm more than a little disappointed by this behavior," Letterman said. "We're suspending the campaign. Suspending it because there's an economic crisis, or because the poll numbers are sliding?"
Letterman's "Top 10" centered on what questions people would ask the McCain presidential campaign, and the talk-show host even talked about the cancellation with guest Keith Olbermann. As always, Letterman managed to weave in jokes about McCain's backing-out throughout the show.
"Maybe if he hadn't taken two years off to run for president, he wouldn't have to rush to Washington now to deal with the crisis," Letterman said.
He went on to say this about McCain's campaign:
"But when you call up, and you call up at the last minute and you cancel a show -- ladies and gentleman -- that's starting to smell…," Letterman said. "It makes me think something is going haywire with the campaign."
A seemingly frustrated Letterman then questioned why McCain's VP running mate, Sarah Palin, didn't fill in for McCain, asking, "Where's your second-string quarterback?"
