Well, it was bound to happen. Letterman wasn’t content with one night of McCain bashing and sarcastic quips, so he decided to launch into it again this evening. And now, video goodness:

This could be the biggest mistake of the campaign and one of the biggest blunders in politics in recent memory. The New York Post is reporting that CBS News is upset about Letterman using the private feed. The story also contains a quote from a McCain advisor that says it “wasn’t a night for comedy.” It turns out, yeah, it sort of was. Oops.

Meanwhile The Indy Star has a story on Day II of the Letterman assult. It contains some more quotes from Letterman that didn’t make the clip I showed.

The Boston Herald, meanwhile, is the first news outlet, it seems, to actually let an Op-Ed columnist address the real issue here: Bailing on Letterman is really, really hurting the campaign, and has opened McCain up to attacks from the wit of Stephen Colbert and Chris Dodd. (The Huffington Post and the SFGate are on it too, of course)

Wired is also reporting that it is one of the biggest viral videos right now, already regestering over 1.4 million viewers.
