So THAT's Why He Cancelled MTP

Dr. Paul, I'm trying to play nice here but you've got to give me something to work with and stop shooting yourself in the foot! Talking Points Memo via Hot Air poses an explanation of why Rand Paul suddenly cancelled his appearance on Meet the Press. He opined about a supposed conspiratorial Superhighway back when he was campaigning for his father in 2008:

Campaigning for his father in Montana back in 2008, Rand Paul spoke out against the NAFTA Superhighway, encouraging Congress to stop the mythical project that would connect Mexico, the U.S., and Canada and, critics say, deal a fatal blow to American sovereignty. Long a bugaboo on some segments of the Right, the NAFTA Superhighway does not actually exist. (Emphasis added.)
