Personally, I think that he is saying that people pay attention to how the candidates behave in all venues of publicity, whether it be nightly talk shows or news interviews.
I think that McCain should have been up front with what he was doing. Hell, he could have done both. He could have gone to see Letterman for 10 or 15 minutes and then booked it over to Katie Couric (who has been having waning popularity). I think that if he wasn't able to do both and be honest about it, he has no business being President.
A president has to go to a shit ton of interviews, sometimes one right after the other. He has to be able to have the endurance to do this and he has to have the diplomacy to be able to do this without pissing off everyone.
In the end, Letterman could be saying that by allowing him to point out McCain's fuck up. As it is, his campaign is trying to hustle to do damage control, but the woman that they have trying to stamp out this little fire just comes off as a heinous bitch because everything she says smacks of "how dare he be upset that we canceled".
