This week on Meet the Press- not Rand Paul:

At the end of a rocky week, newly chosen Senate nominee Rand Paul (R-KY) has canceled a planned interview on NBC’s “Meet the Press” citing exhaustion. It’s only the third cancellation from a major guest in 62 years, the show’s Executive Producer Betsy Fischer said in an interview this afternoon.

“It is a big deal when somebody cancels an appearance,” she said.

Fischer and host David Gregory have been attempting to convince Paul’s press secretary and campaign manager since the Paul camp scrapped the interview this afternoon. They first arranged the Sunday show interview on Wednesday after he won the party nomination Tuesday night. Fischer said Paul’s press secretary said he was exhausted.

What is going to be so nauseating about this is that if a Democrat canceled, the beltway boys and girls would have a serious case of the vapors. I thought that douchebag Chip Reid and his buddies were going to faint earlier this week when Obama didn’t take any questions at the signing of the Press Freedom Act.

But Rand is a Republican, and as DougJ has noted, they love getting abused by Republicans and don’t even care to have a safe word- just a few years ago, the Bush White House was openly threatening the press to keep quiet about things, and now they nearly melt down because they don’t have internet access on Air Force One. One failure to do exactly what the stenographers want is met with schoolboy taunts of “most transparent administration ever” as they giggle and high five each other when they get a Drudge link.

So since this is a Republican giving these guys the Two girls/One cup treatment, they won’t view it as a horrible breach of etiquette and get all catty for the next 6 months. Hell no- they’ll just say this shows that Ran Paul doesn’t play by the DC Rules and is a maverick and manly because he goes his own way.

Just watch.

    To echo Atrios: would have been cool if MTP had the highest vote getter from that primary on the show to replace him.

    I don’t know that Gregory will run away from this. This is only the third cancellation on MTP evah (along with Louis Farrakhan and Prince Bandar). I suspect there will be some serious discussion of Rand’s drop-out. I could be wrong, but David G. got his fee-fee’s hurt, and we know what happens when the press gets their fee-fee’s hurt.

    I’m sure president McCain is available, however.

    I think the Village reaction to Rand Paul will largely be gauged by whatever Mitch McConnell wants it to be. The election is not until November; there is still plenty of time for a new candidate to be found in the event Dr. Paul, Jr. needs to spend more time with his family.

    Here’s my question: what kind of a moran names his child after his adolescent book crush? No wonder Rand Paul can’t think straight. His idiot father was probably reading him Atlas Shrugged when other children were hearing The Cat In The Hat. Ron Paul has a lot to answer for.

Remember that movie “8mm” where Nick Cage’s character was watching supposed “snuff” movies and suddenly notices (along with Joquin Phoenix) that the woman who is supposedly killed in all these movies is the same woman? (Okay in the case of the film, another girl was actually killed but you get my point).

    Huh?

    I mean, I know Weigel has the occasional Glibtard Moment(r), but the post you’re referencing isn’t one of them. It’s just a quick analysis of why Paul went in with one expectation from a previous interview, and why Maddow’s change of focus from that was “appropriate”.

    That’s hardly “hand-wringing”.

    To be honest, I don’t even think Conway needs to go on a Sunday talk show at this point. He is eviscerating Rand Paul anywhere and everywhere that will have him. Here he is on CNN this afternoon, repeating a lot of the comments he made in his interview with HuffPo today.

    “…he’s clearly backpedaling because he’s seen the national firestorm that he has caused,” Conway added. “What’s clear from what he has said repeatedly, up until your program yesterday, is…he’s rejecting a fundamental provision in the Civil Rights Act that says that if – if you’re providing a public accommodation, if you’re a restaurant or you’re a hotel, that you can’t discriminate based on race.”
    __[…]
    To that, Conway told Blitzer, “You know, talking about what’s un-American, BP is a huge international conglomerate. And saying that the administration shouldn’t have its boot heel on their throat, BP needs to – to pay for that cleanup.”
    __
    “In the Senate, we don’t need another senator who just stands up for the corporations. I’m interested in standing up for the people of Kentucky. There are people in Kentucky who are scared to death that the government somehow is going to be left with a bailout tab for this Gulf oil spill. And so he’s standing up with big business instead of standing up with people who need help,” Conway added.

    I have to leap in here and defend Weigel. He is good people. He has done absolutely stellar work covering both the birfers and the tea baggers. He has done so much as to join Politijab and not only used content from the gang of very intelligent lawyers over there but has attributed many of his stories to them. I do not think that there has been another blogger who has consistently shone the light on the tea bagger movement and on the birfers. He is to be given credit for that whatever his political beliefs. He is the classic example of a “boots on the ground” journalist, he actually goes to all of the meetings and rallies and reports, he is not a “sit in the office and report what other people are saying”. I respect him, even if I don’t always agree with his opinions.

    @JGabriel: do you think Rachel was being “difficult” wth rand paul? I don’t. I thought it was a pretty neutral interview. But weigel describes it as “the difficulty Rachel Maddow gave him”.

    @Mike Kay: I don’t think “the difficulty Rachel Maddow gave him” means that Rachel Maddow was “being difficult.” Those are two slightly disparate senses of the word “difficult.” Consider the connotations of “had difficulty” vs. “acted difficult,” for instance.

Telling the constituents of your state that “accidents sometimes happen” when discussing explosions in mines and their family members dying is not doing it right. Coming out in support of BP and saying the President of the United States is “un-American” to criticize the company is not doing it right.

    Honestly, this election is going to be about much more than just being “anti-incumbent, anti-Washington.” For starters, there isn’t even a fucking incumbent in the Kentucky Senate race; Bunning is retiring. Secondly, why is Jack Conway all of a sudden some kind of Washington insider?

    Twitter is abuzz with word that Rand Paul is trying to cancel his appearance this Sunday on Meet the Press, probably because the biased media keeps asking him about things he’s said, like jerks. Meet the Press is responding with a public shaming — both host David Gregory and executive producer Betsy Fischer are tweeting about it.

    Update: Luke Russert is joining in on the Twitter shaming, channeling his deceased father, the former host of Meet the Press: “Hey Dr. Paul, if you can’t answer tough questions how are you going to be able to make tough decisions as a U.S. Senator? -TJR.” (We think he’s referring to this line of Tim’s.)

    Whether you consider this stating his outrage, he clearly doesn’t think Paul is a crusading civil libertarian, so your point is at best moot and I would say pretty much wrong.

I have no doubt, if elena kagen or blanche lincoln melted down on rachel’s show and said they opposed the civil rights act, glen would be burning up the internets. but here, he’s silent. as MLK said, “our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.” in glen’s case, his phoniness begins to be exposed the day he becomes silent about things that matter.

    Hell no- they’ll just say this shows that Ran Paul doesn’t play by the DC Rules and is a maverick and manly because he goes his own way.

    Works well for Sarah Palin.

    I’m wondering whether Paul’s atitude towards the Iran nuke program doesn’t give Democrats an opening. How can the Republicans roast us about terrorism when their rising star says he’s cool with a nuclear arms race in the Middle East?
