A little late getting around to writing about it, but -
This was fantastic; this was a great promotional coup for CBS! It was good for everyone. I think Leno benefited greatly from this - good job he agreed to show up with Dave.
Coming right after all the mud last month with NBC's Conan O'Brien fiasco, and the history between Letterman and Leno, these fifteen seconds were an amazing surprise.
Talk about audacity. All we needed was an appearance by CoCo, but that would have been looking for too much. =)

Decision 2008: Historic, yes - but fun?
Hillary would not stop talking yesterday. Enough already!
Just what is the point of a convention anyway? We know who has the most delegates, and the nomination.
I recall the Democratic convention of 2000 when Bill Clinton stole the show (again), nevermind what Al Gore did on stage with Tipper. Leno had Clinton's walk in set to the tune of Saturday Night Fever... hilarious.
For the Republicans, The Rock showed up and spoke - the high point of that convention. He asked what he was doing there, on national TV.
I followed that year's never ending election through SNL, Leno, and of course Conan. Have it all recorded. Excerpts, as I remember them:
Conan O'Brien: 'Gov Bush, how did your debate go?'
Gov Bush: 'Conan, we discussed the...the issues, like the middle east thing.'
Conan O'Brien: 'Now that's an important topic. What are your thoughts?'
Gov Bush: 'Here's what I think, Conan. The A-rabs, they already have A-rabia. So the Jews, they are the ones that should get Jewsalem.'
Conan O'Brien: 'Jerusalem?'
Gov Bush: 'Sure, J-jewsalem'.
Gov Bush: 'Hey, Conan did you know Southern Comfort tastes as good coming up as it does going down?'
Bush to Conan during the post election recount -
Gov Bush: 'Conan, I won all the red states. Those blue ones there on the map in the midwest - Huron, Superior, Erie ..... still waiting on those returns.'
Gov Bush: 'Conan, I'm not opposed to recounts. I'm opposed to recounting votes!'
None of all this this time around. Yet.
