Clinton Sneaks In Letterman Appearance

Sometime today, from somewhere in Iowa, somehow -- Sen. Hillary Clinton managed to tape the cold open for David Letterman's return to comedy tonight.

Remember: Letterman signed a deal with the WGA, so HRC isn't crossing a picket-line.

But Mike Huckabee, who is taping Jay Leno's show as I type, has already violated the WGA's request.

Comments

Marc - Hillary said "Fired Up!" "Ready to go!" at a rally today. I kid you not:

I saw on CNN that Huckabee also said that he supported the writers unequivocally!

The moneycons are going to hate that one!

As usual, Huckabee is uninformed, as he thought the strike was worked out for the late night shows, but that's only the case for Letterman, not Leno.

Hey, you've got 2 guys, Leno & Huckabee, who are intelligent and funny and don't need script writers and speech writers. What's wrong with them being filmed? It was great. Huckabee was great. Lots of sour grapes from those who are routing for their favorite PLASTIC candidate.

Rush and Hannity better hope that Huckabee wins the Presidency in spite of them, so he doesn't go into competition with them.

I didn't watch. Huckabee lost my respect. I don't like strike-breakers.

I am a Democrat but come on cut Mike Huckabee some slack. All of the candidates are on incomprehensible schedules. So Huckabee got his striking late shows mixed up...big deal. I couldn't agree more with David Knight's comments above.
