"After receiving a call from the McCain campaign canceling an appearance on tonight's Late Night with David Letterman, it was discovered that McCain stopped down the street to be interviewed by CBS' Katie Couric rather than rushing back to Washington to work on the proposed Wall Street bailout, as Letterman had been told.
"Hey Senator," Letterman mocked in front of live video of the interview, "can I give you a ride home?"
Letterman had earlier expressed suspicion at McCain's move to suspend his campaign. "This doesn't smell right," he said. "This isn't the way a tested hero behaves."
"I think someone's putting something in his Metamucil...He can't run the campaign because the economy is cratering? Fine, put in your second-string quarterback, Sarah Palin. Where is she?"
"What are you going to do if you're elected and things get tough?" Letterman added. "Suspend being president? We've got a guy like that now!""

gm-marla is right, McCain wanted to do several town hall style debates across the country.
Even Bill agrees:

"Interesting, McCain wasn't even in DC this morning while Congressional leaders were working out their "agreement in principle" as he was giving a speech at the Global Initiatives Forum."
Sounds

"His campaign said he had to rush back".
His "Campaign" said nothing. McCain called him personally.
"but nobody knows what he already may have had scheduled before Letterman asked him including an interview with Couric"
Did you actually say this. You know what this means? If his people don't know his schedule, this is a serious communication problem. This would bring up doubts whither McCain knows how to run a campaign. Ouch!!!
