Now Craig Ferguson Is Angry At McCain

Just a hunch but I have a feeling this isn’t going to end well for McCain if keeps his stance on suspending his presidential campaign. Video is after the break but look at these strong words by Craig Ferguson. McCain camp is getting either really desperate and attempting a cheap publicity stunt that they think will win them points or they just really dropped the ball on this one.

“You can’t suspend the democratic process because we’re facing problems. At what point do you think, maybe we should suspend the election? We’ll have the elections later. Some people have done that before: Castro did it, Napoleon did it, Julius Caesar did it. You can’t do that. If you like it or not, the campaign is part of the democratic process….You wanna take your time off, that’s fine, but you don’t say we’re suspending the campaign. You can’t say that. It’s the democratic process. We didn’t suspend it for 9/11, we didn’t suspend it for Pearl Harbor, we didn’t suspend it for the Nazis, we didn’t suspend it for the damn British. We don’t do that in America!”

Spidey and Colbert Team Up, Save Earth

Haha, can anything really top this?

I got this from Wired.com:

Marvel Comics already gave postmodern comedian Stephen Colbert Captain America’s shield. So why not a shot at saving the world with the help of his friendly neighborhood Spider-Man?

The two cultural icons will join forces in an eight-page narrative inside the supersize Amazing Spider-Man No. 573, which will mark Colbert’s full Marvel Universe appearance, in continuity no less. For those interested in the full back story, the unhinged newscaster’s prodigious influence on comics is being tracked on Comedy Central’s Indecision 2008 blog. Evidently, he is not only safeguarding Cap’s shield here in reality, but also running for president in the Marvel Universe.

Oh, if only life was like comics. Everything would be so much cooler, and funnier.

Letterman Destroys McCain

John McCain canceled a scheduled appearance on CBS’s “Late Show with David Letterman” just a few hours before he was supposed to go on and tape the show that was scheduled to appear Wednesday night. However, since McCain has “suspended” his campaign, he personally called Letterman to say that he was immediately flying back to Washington D.C. to work on the bill regarding the economic crisis.

During the show though, Letterman learns that McCain was, in fact just down the street being interviewed by Katie Couric. Dave even cut over to the live video of the interview, and said, “Hey Senator, can I give you a ride home?”

Earlier in the show, Dave kept saying, “You don’t suspend your campaign. This doesn’t smell right. This isn’t the way a tested hero behaves.” And he joked: “I think someone’s putting something in his metamucil.”

“He can’t run the campaign because the economy is cratering? Fine, put in your second string quarterback, Sarah Palin. Where is she?”

“What are you going to do if you’re elected and things get tough? Suspend being president? We’ve got a guy like that now!”
