Hillary Clinton - Surprise Guest on Letterman 2Nite

From TPM Election Central:

Hillary To Do Letterman Tonight
By Greg Sargent - January 2, 2008, 4:06PM

We've just heard from an in-the-know TPM reader that Hillary will be making an appearance on David Letterman's show tonight, which is an interesting move given that it's right on the eve of the Iowa caucuses.

The Hillary campaign confirmed the appearance to us. More in a bit.

Late Update: Asked for a comment, Hillary spokesman Howard Wolfson emailed: "Tune in!"

Remember that Dave cut a waiver deal with the striking WGA. So, Ms. Clinton WILL NOT be crossing a picket line. Mike Huckabee, other the other hand, will totally be a scab guest on Leno 2nite.

1. Maybe she'll be on remotely?

Seems strange that she would fly to New York on the eve of the caucus.

3. Hey! What about Edwards?

He's more of a union guy than Hillary. Oh well. Maybe all the Iowans will be in bed anyway.

6. Letterman is always taped

All the late night shows are taped. Or are you referring to Ms. Clinton's appearance?

5. It's a filmed cameo at the start of the show:

http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0108/7675.html

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) made a last-minute decision to appear on "Late Night with David Letterman" on the eve of the Iowa caucuses, campaign sources said.

Wednesday is Letterman's first night back since the writer's strike began.

"They reached out to us yesterday and we agreed to do it," a Clinton aide said.

At an event in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Wednesday morning, Clinton taped a few lines — "a cameo," as the aide put it — for use at the beginning of the show.

The campaign kept the taping a secret but word of it leaked this afternoon.

7. Okay

Well, that won't stop me from watching. I love Dave and I love that he's going back on the air with the blessings of the WGA. I haven't watched television in a few months, so this will be a treat. :)
