Letterman yesterday took McCain to task not only for skipping out on him earlier, but also for his choice of Palin as VP, for McCain/Palin’s negative attacks on Obama, and on McCain’s close association with the extremist Nazi talk show host and convicted Watergate felon G. Gordon Liddy. In doing so, he put a lot of other so-called “political journalists” to shame for pussyfooting around these issues. Watch the video – it’s worth it.
McCain Defends His Own Association With Unrepentant Criminal: It's Ok, He Went To Jail
It would be an understatement to say McCain’s pal G. Gordon Liddy is unrepentant. Read this scary 2004 interview with The Independent of London (wonder why US papers don't report this? hmm..). He is not only unrepentant about burgling Watergate, he is also adamant about wanting to kill “soft” journalists and bomb the Brookings Institution. Remember, this was in 2004 – McCain has since been on his show at least twice (in Nov 2007 and May 2008!). He is an undying admirer of Hitler. He believes the

An online video labeled "John McCain On The G. Gordon Liddy Show 11/8/07" includes a discussion between Liddy and McCain, whom Liddy described as an "old friend." During the segment, McCain praised Liddy's "adherence to the principles and philosophies that keep our nation great," said he was "proud" of Liddy, and said that "it's always a pleasure for me to come on your program."
And McCain says it’s OK to “pal around” with this convicted unrepentant firebomber?
