What can be said about Late Night Television

Some of you may not know this, but the Late Night Comedy shows do not like the McCain-Palin team. If you don't know why, look it up. I'm just kidding. That's why I'm here. First it was Tina Fey's immaculate impersonation of Sarah Palin on SNL's season premiere that got everyone excited to see what the McCain campaign would do. Sarah Palin, in response to the skit, said she thought it was funny, even though she didn't hear a word of what was being said. Then John McCain who had announced his candidacy on David Letterman's Late Show, had cancelled to run back to Washington. Or did he?....no he didn't. He cancelled Letterman so he could do an interview with Katie Couric across town. Letterman even ran the feed and had about 30 odd jokes about McCain that night. Now this week, Tina Fey returned as Sarah Palin on SNL and made fun of her interview she did with Katie Couric. The best punchline in that one was that she "wanted to use a lifeline" to answer one of her questions.

So what can be said about Late Night TV? Well, not only is SNL running skits, which is does all the time, but now Letterman is on the attack. One reporter called the incident with Letterman much like a Walter Kronkite kind of revelation. It was a complete questioning of the authority that was running for the highest office in the land. I will be enjoying this as the weeks come to end for the campaigns on both sides. Let's just say I'm waiting for the proverbial nail in the coffin, being the Meet The Press interview for Sarah Palin, or with 60 Minutes. That's even if the McCain camp lets her talk since she is sounding like a fool everytime.
