CBS News Angry at David Letterman

http://americasnewstoday.com/stories/BRiT-09262008-CBANeWsANGRYATLeTTeRMAN.html

CBS executives were left red-faced Thursday trying to explain late night host David Letterman's use of behind the scenes footage of John McCain to embarrass the presidential nominee. McCain canceled his appearance on Letterman's show Wednesday, saying he had to return to Washington to help with the economic bailout plan. McCain then did an interview with anchor Katie Couric.

Letterman was not happy about the news and aired an internal live video of McCain being made up before the interview. Letterman said, "I'm more than a little disappointed by his behavior... I feel like we've caught him getting a manicure."

Several CBS News executives told the New York Post that the stunt did not sit well within the news division. One said, "If we had done something like that to him, someone around here would end up getting fired."

Another said, "They were pretty aggravated."

@PresidentWar That would put Hume's tongue about an inch off the ground! :-D

[PresidentWar]

Oh quit your whining, Brit HumeRLESS. You and that hang dog expression can go lick McCains balls so he feels better.

Only Brit Hume would report this. Not a nice guy who poses as a CHRISTIAN. He is the one who lectured Tiger Woods on Fox News Sunday. Should have been concentrating on saving his own son's life. Bastard.

Letterman treated McCain as he deserved to be treated, like the lying, cheating murderer he is. People never think about how many bombs that guy dropped on innocent people. Brit Hume is one of the worst journalists ever. He lets his conservatism, Republicanism & religion inform all of his opinions. No wonder he is on Fox.
