John McCain’s peace summit visit to CBS’ “Late Show” gave David Letterman his highest viewership in nearly three years.
The Thursday night telecast was seen by 6.5 million viewers, and received a 1.7 rating in the adult demo. That’s the largest audience for the show since December, 2005, when Oprah Winfrey appeared. “Late Show” also topped Jay Leno’s “Tonight Show” (4.6 million viewers) by 43%, and Leno had Joe Biden as a guest.
“Can I give you an answer?” says McCain when ribbed about his previous appearance cancellation. “I screwed up.”
Last night marked McCain’s 14th appearance on the show. The host and candidate talked foreign affairs, William Ayers, Tina Fey and Sarah Palin. The McCain camp has also confirmed that Palin is going to appear on NBC’s “Saturday Night Live” this week.

Since the writers on these shows like Leno and letterman are too lame to come up with jokes about lefties, here are some I came up with in about 5 minutes:
“Hey, ya know some reporters asked Obama about accusations of being linked with the philosophies of Lenin and Marx. Yeah, didja hear that? I’m not too sure Obama’s really up on his history because he said ‘Hey, who doesn’t like Lenin? I’m not a big fan of Yoko, though’.”
“So they said ‘what about Marx?’ and he said ‘They are all great except for that Zeppo guy.’
“Didja hear Obama went into that Home Depot Biden keeps talking about? Oh, yeah… he’s workin’ on his mansion… I mean HOUSE, sorry… and needed supplies. So the guy helping him wanted too know if he’d need any tacks and Obama said ‘Only for the richest 1% of the house.”
“Boy, Biden’s daughter’s in a bit of trouble, didja hear about that? Some buddy of hers got in a tussle with some Wilmington cops. Oh, yeah, bad news. I guess she tried to help by trying to block the cop’s way and mentioning her dad’s name. Yeah, I know… real smooth move. When she said ‘I’m Joe’s daughter’ the cop was gonna let her off until he figured out she wasn’t talking about Joe the plumber.”
Considering I don’t make 100 grand a year to make jokes I think they’re pretty good.
LMAO…Damn right, they are “
