Im not sure this is even worth mentioning.
Id think nothing of it except McCains top 10 list from the day before is still there.
If you remember the list was The 10 Ten Signs Obama is Overconfident About The Presidential Campaign:
10. Proposed bill to change Oklahoma to Oklobama
9. Offered Bush $20 for the Mission Accomplished banner
8. Asked guy at Staples, Which chair will work best in an oval-shaped office?
7. The affair with Barbara Walters
6. Having head measured for Mount Rushmore
5. Guy sits around eating soup all day
4. Hes voting for Nader
3. Offered McCain a job in gift shop at Obama presidential library
2. Announced his running mate will be Andy Dick
1. Been cruising for chicks with John Edwards
The fact that Letterman had addressed what many perceive as Obamas ginormous ego indicated that the concept had finally entered into public consciousness. Which doesnt bode well for Obama.
WND contacted a representative of The Late Show with David Letterman, who denied any knowledge of the missing Obama Top Ten list.
I dont know why its gone, he said. I have no idea why, to be honest with you.
The clip of Letterman reading off the list is still available on YouTube where most people would see it, anyway. If the YouTube videos disappear, Ill be calling shenanigans.
too close to the truth!
bttt
I forget where I saw it, I think on one of the blogs. Someone contacted CBS and was told that it was pulled because the segment had not yet aired. He was told that the do plan to use it in the future and it will be online then.
I must be very dense but I don't get this one at all.
Glad to see I’m not the only one.
Same here??
Confirmed

Normally I find that when something is “missing” from a website, I can find it right away.
Here the database has been updated to jump from 7/28/2008 to 12/31/1969 to 7/30/2008.
How does a clip from Letterman’s show get taped and even make its way to Youtube without airing?
A veiled reference to his skinny frame?
Skinny people eat soup? < /s >
But seriously, did the Obamites hack Letterman's webpage? How thin skinned are they?
Often Letterman will tie the list to another segment on the show. The joke won't mean anything unless you see the other segment.
People who say "to be honest with you" usually know that you know they are lying.
“The purpose of the Late Show site is to post highlights from the show and since Letterman’s reading of it did not air on the program as broadcast on CBS the list should not have been posted. Yet it was put up, along with video of Letterman reading it”
So it did not air, it was scripted and read and recorded. So why didn’t it make the final cut?
There was an editing of the gag.
I don’t work for CBS. I’m just giving you the info they released.
Theorize as you will.
