Don’t Lie to Letterman, McCain

Hellmut, September 25, 2008May 17, 2011

From Andrew:
“You may get away with lying to the rest of us, but this man is powerful enough to expose you – and ridicule you. Here’s another surreal moment in a campaign where pop cultural figures are standing up to raw lies and power as effectively as the MSM. More effectively, in fact:”
