Rand Paul Cancels Meet the Press Appearance

It's hard not to wonder if Sarah Palin, in addition to endorsing Rand Paul, is giving him media advice. After a series of disastrous interviews on national television, he is cancelling his scheduled appearance on Meet the Press Sunday.

Politico's take on the cancellation and NBC's viciousness make one wince:

"Cancelling a Sunday show appearance -- usually prized by politicians -- is rarely done and NBC officials noted that Paul was joining a small clique in backing out of his interview. Among major figures, only Louis Farrakhan and Saudi Arabia's Prince Bendar have failed to show up after committing to appear on the long-running program."
