John McCain apologized to David Letterman on "The Late Show with David Letterman", blaming himself for his much-ridiculed cancellation last month. "I screwed up. What can I say?" McCain said. There was, however, a silver lining, said McCain. "Look at all the conversation I gave you," he told Letterman. The talk show host had been giving McCain a
hard time since he missed a September 24 appearance during the momentary suspension of his campaign due to the economic crisis. "You called me an hour and a half [before showtime] and said, 'We've got to get right back to Washington,'" said Letterman. "But you didn't go right back to Washington!" Instead on that day, McCain took an interview in New York with Katie Couric. Letterman also asked about McCain's pick for Vice-President:  "In your guts, in your stomach, if I were to run upstairs and wake you in the middle of the night and say, 'John, is Sarah Palin really the woman to lead us through the next four, eight years - through the next 9/11 attack?' "Replied McCain: "Absolutely. She has inspired Americans. That's the thing we need."
