Usain Bolt's guest appearance on the 'Late Show with David Letterman' Thursday night has been rated highly by Jamaicans.

Many believe Bolt, the world's fastest man, carried himself well during the interview which lasted almost seven minutes.

The athlete's manager, Norman Peart, said he was prepared "to be himself and it worked for him".

Peart said they were briefed about the interview in advance.

"The idea was to meet him (Bolt)," he said.

Apart from that, most if not all who voiced their opinions in email circulated among Jamaican track and field enthusiasts, said Bolt was as impressive as his performance at the Olympics in Beijing, China.

The sprint star also appeared yesterday morning on 'Live with Regis & Kelly'. On the show, Bolt defeated Kelly Ripa in an egg-and-spoon race.

Bolt is scheduled to appear on HBO's Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel on October 21.

People's National Party candidate Abe Dabdoub failed yesterday in his attempt to strike out the appeal of ousted Member of Parliament Daryl Vaz.

The Court of Appeal, in throwing out Dabdoub's application, upheld submissions by Vaz's lawyers Ransford Braham and Susan Risden Foster that Vaz had a legal right to appeal against the Chief Justice's ruling.

The court will hand down its written reasons next week. Dabdoub was ordered to pay Vaz's legal costs.

Dabdoub had contended that Vaz's appeal was frivolous, vexatious and an abuse of the process of the court. Chief Justice Zaila McCalla had ousted Vaz because of his US citizenship which she said was in breach of the Jamaican Constitution.

Although the Chief Justice ruled that Vaz was not eligible to be a MP, she did not give the seat to Dabdoub. She ordered a by-election.
