Never again (via “The Caucus” at The New York Times)!
The last time Mr. McCain canceled an appearance on The Late Show With David Letterman Mr. Letterman was not amused, and he has not let go of his fury. Mr. McCain has been the butt of Mr. Lettermans disdain (feigned or not) ever since.
So when Mr. McCain found himself stuck on the tarmac here in Philadelphia, with what aides described as a two-hour delay on planes flying to Newark, he knew he had to act.
Thus began the great McCain Airlift of 2008.Mr. McCains campaign plane turned around, and the campaign hired a small helicopter to whisk him, his wife, Cindy, two of their aides, and two Secret Service Agents, to their rendezvous with comedy.
