The Land of Lincolner jokes with Letterman about how it feels to no longer be the media favorite now that the Alaska Governor is front-and-center in an interview Wednesday.

"I mean, as somebody who used to be on the cover of Time and Newsweek, those were the days, I had a recent offer with Popular Mechanics, centerfold with a wrench.”

Also talks about suggestions he's been disrespectful to Palin, his plans to visit Kenya if elected, growing up in Hawaii and more. Read excerpts here.
