RECAP: Presidential hopeful John McCain cancelled his appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman on very short notice.

Letterman says that McCain called him and said that he could not make it because he had to hurry back to Washington to attend the current economic crisis.

But as it turns out, Sen. McCain was NOT in a hurry to go back to Washington - Instead, he was actually being interviewed by the famous Katie Couric!!!

Halfway through his broadcast last night, Letterman learns about this and shows his audience a live feed of a makeup artist putting the finishing touches on Sen. McCain while he waits 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?”
