citizenbfk says:

The Letterman comment about McCain "palling around," with convicted conspirator Gordon Liddy (mentioned at the end of this clip) was astounding.

McCain was stunned.

They had to call quickly for a commercial break.

If we ever do actually get attacked by nukes from Russia or another 9/11, McCains going to need a snort of coke or something to get him going.
