McCain Cancels Letterman Appearance Tonight

John McCain will no longer be the guest on tonight’s “Late Show With David Letterman,” thanks to today’s suspension of campaign activities in order to focus on legislation assisting the financial industry.

The show’s website no longer lists McCain as a guest. Instead, MSNBC commentator and host Keith Olbermann, known for his biting criticism of McCain and other Republicans, will be the lead guest.

Just last night, Letterman’s late night colleague Conan O’Brien joked that someone like McCain would want to appear on Olbermann’s MSNBC if he wanted to be “attacked by an extremist in an unfair environment.”
