John McCain To David Letterman On GOP Primary: It’s Good ‘To See If Someone’s A Wacko’
Appearing on The Late Show with David Letterman last night, Arizona Senator John McCain nervously squirmed as the late night host asked him questions about the state of the Republican Party.
“How do you think things are going for your party?” Letterman queried.
“Well, you know, we’ve had better days,” McCain acknowledged, trying to change the subject.
“It seems like now everybody has gone wacky in the Republican Party and I just wondered, was it the influence of the Tea Party, or am I over-examining this?” Letterman asked. McCain thought he was over-examining things, and that the lengthy debate process was good for America.
“It’s good to see whether somebody’s a wacko or whether they’re not a wacko,” McCain quipped.
“No shortage there.” Letterman snarked, without missing a beat.

Letterman asked the Arizona Senator about how, when he ran against him in 2008, McCain had said Romney would say anything to win
“It’s a tough business. You know, it is a collision sport,” McCain observed. “Ronald Reagan and Bush Senior had a very spirited primary andm afterwards, Ronald Reagan chose George Herbert Walker Bush as his running mate.”
Later in the interview, McCain criticized George Stephanopoulos for asking Romney a question about contraception.
“Why would George Stephanopoulos ask about contraception?” he asked incredulously.
“I would guess for him trouble at home.” Letterman riffed.
