Paul Backs Out Of Meet The Press Appearance

Not ready for prime time??

HA! HA! HA! Don't worry Rand, an interview with David Gregory is like an interview with Oprah. Shucks, the women from The View are tougher than David Gregory.

Small point/question: if he's just a nominee, should he have ("R-KY") after his name? Maybe if were identified as "Senate candidate..." it would make sense. But that makes it appear he's an incumbent.

So the nappy-head doofus finally got a clue? The citizens of Kentucky can vote for him. The commie rodents in the lamestream press can't and won't vote for him. Not rocket science, Paulo.

Is the beginning of a McCain-Palin like effort to control his exposure to the press until the fall election? Good luck with that!

They should get Conway to be on the show. Seems only fair.

It's too late for the Sarah Palin media-avoidance strategy. Paul has already provided Conway with enough clips for a full campaign's worth of ads.

Doesn't Gregory promise soft-ball interviews to coax folks on? Wasn't there a email published somewhere - I believe during the Sanford Appalachian Trail aftermath - where Gregory promised a softball interview to try and get the guest on his show?

Jack Conway should offer to take his place.

Farrakhan, Bandar, and Paul? -- the Tea Party finds they share something in common with people they accuse of worshiping a "monkey god."

I'm not surprised. They had to do the same thing with Palin after she memorably made a fool of herself, even while doing softball interviews. Paul will probably never appear on a non-Fox News chat show ever again.

Meg Whitman has been doing this from the start of her campaign - refusing to answer questions from the media, appearing at controlled events, relying on advertising (on which she has a shitload of her own money to spend). It's the way we're trending, and every time you have a candidate who is a political neophyte or who has a tendency to say stupid things, that's the strategy that will be followed.

Hotline says he's scheduled for an appearance on CNN:

Situation Room features Paul, Mexican Pres. Felipe Calderon, ex-Pakistani Pres. Pervez Musharraf and Atlantis/ISS astronauts/cosmonauts (CNN, SAT, 6:30pm).

Is he too "tired" for that one too?

My God, this is the biggest non-story of the week. Great cover for all the Wall Street messenger boys running around in Congress proclaiming "reform, reform"!

Was he afraid that he'd slip up and say "macaca?"

Think what you will about the guy, at least he was honest. That's a rarity in politicians. They'll keep him out of sight, give him rethug lessons and then he'll be a good little soldier playing follow the leader.

Who's going to play Randy on SNL? You know it's coming....

Wow: "he is exhausted and he needs to cancel"

He is exhausted! I really think there is something wrong with this guy. Psychologically.

Tough week figuring out how you really feel about the nature of racial discrimination in the US. You have to wonder why he never really thought this through before. I wouldn't worry, though. It's probably just that he is incredibly shallow. Nothing to worry about, there. After all, he is running as a Republican.

"She said the only other cancellations from major guests were Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan in 1996 and Saudi Arabia's Prince Bandar on May 18, 2003."

Well, he certainly is in interesting company, isn't he? Does this make him a closet Muslim too?

The blood's in the water now. He can't stand up to CBS, how's he gonna stand up to the terrists?

'According to the Washington Post, campaign spokesman Jesse Benton said that interview served to "set the record straight, and now we are done talking about it," adding, "No more national interviews on the topic."'

Yes. He wants to get back to important local issues where he can express views that will impact on his constituents, such as the coal miners and their families in Eastern Kentucky.

You know, views on things like, hey! how about "Mine Safety"?

"Accidents Happen". "No need to point fingers!" "No one is to blame"

i.e., Shit Happens, Randy, as you just found out this week.

Maddow must be chuckling to herself right about now

Remember the Cheney staffer's comment to Cheney during the Valerie Plame blow-up: "Let's go on MTP where we control the message." That was in Tim Russert's time, but Dave Gregory is just as easy for the Republican pros to control as was Russert.

Did anyone run a tox screen? McLiebergraham may have slipped him a Micky.

And if they slipped it into the drink Mitch McConnell served him, they'd better get him to an E.R. stat, because he just drank a double dose of the stuff.

Too bad Tony Randall is dead. He was always a reliable last minute booking Letterman.

Put Jack Conway on MTP- he ran an tougher race and he's not "exhausted".

So then, I guess that Sue Lowden isn't the only senatorial candidate with chicken problems.

Rand Paul was asking today "What about the honeymoon I'm supposed to get?" In all fairness, he was being half- tongue in cheek. That being said, he may find himself, instead on his honeymoon, being served with divorce papers or at least a restraining order if McConnell and other old GOPers have their say.

I don't understand all the negative comments. After all, the Democrat Presidential candidates backed out of debating on Fox and Obama refused to accommodate Fox request for an interview until just recently. Just a page out of the liberal playbook.

Funny, I didn't think being rhetorically castrated counts as 'exhaustion'.

Run, Ran, Rand!

Teabagging weasel.

Sarah "Drill Baby Drill" Palin/"Ann" Rand Paul 2012!

Please lick the bowl clean on the way down teabaggers.

Atlas shrugged. Rand ran.

Jeez.....If and Paul is afraid of David Gregory, how's he going to face that mean old Katie Couric?

This will give the Republicans and his supporters an excuse to attack the "liberal media". It is never their fault. Ask Rand Paul a question about Greek democracy and he will go off on a tangent, talking about socialism, Barack Obama, individual rights, the sacredness of private ownership, big government, Civil Rights, or another subject matter. He has diarrhea of the mouth and no one can shut him up.

Where is Rand on empathy, like say if he wasn't allowed to go to his country club or eat at the restaurant of his choosing? He is unable to wear anothers shoes because he has both of his feet in his mouth.
Oh, & that would, of course, bring guns & coal mines into the conversation.

Rand Paul is his own worst enemy. His handlers are wise to pull him out of the spotlight while they try to smooth out his rough edges, despite the cost in lost credibility in the meantime.

The tough part is going to be trying to reintroduce "Rand Paul Lite" for the general election. It should be entertaining to watch them try to reposition their guy and deal with his more radical statements from the past.

But in Kentucky, he's probably still going to have a decent chance of winning. Between those who agree with his radical views and will understand his need to appear more centrist, and those who will be gullible enough to buy the Paul Lite, he may be able to cobble together a majority vote. We'll see.

Should be quite a race.

Every GOP dream associations:

Only MTP guests to cancel:
1. Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan
2. Saudi Arabia's Prince Bandar
3. TeaBagger Opthomologist Paul Rand

Opposition to Civil Rights Act of 1964
1. George Wallace
2. Klu Klux Klan
3. Teabagger Opthomologist Paul Rand

Opposition to protecting the handicapped
1. Adolph Hitler
2. Benito Mussolini
3. Teabagger Opthomologist Paul Rand

Opposition to critizing the oil companies
1. The Oil Companies
2. Hugo Chavez
3. Teabagger Opthomologist Paul Rand

C'mon TeaBaggers! Pick some more GOPers for us!

His cancellation proves the following:

1. He cannot keep his word
2. He is cowardly
3. He is incompetent and not ready for the job
4. He is hiding from his record
5. He is either an outright liar by falsely claiming to be "exhausted" or else he is just too frail and can't handle the job.

C'mon TeaBaggers! Pick some more GOPers for us!

another unqualified crazy repug candidate the GOP needs to limit air time for ala Barracuda--only appear on Faux for -safe questions, safe answers.

Jesus, all this news is so depressing. A Libertarian who doesn't understand how the power of the state and its laws made people second-class citizens because of the color of their skin. It's one thing to oppose some of the laws passed to redress our nation's hideous, racist history (and I say this as a white guy who was told by a black management guy that I wasn't the profile his newspaper wanted and wouldn't be hired because of my ethnic profile). But on the other hand it's foolish, cruel, wrong and historically ignorant to support positions, however idealistically pure, that end up justifying (intentionly or not) or supporting (implicitly or not), the consequences of a system, enshrined in our otherwise beautiful Liberal constitution, that are so contrary to Libertarianism and the Republicanism of Abraham Lincoln.

Were the Jim Crow laws Libertarian expressions of popular democracy, or were they the kind of popular, democratic, tyranny, that is the principal evil, the strongest enemy of individual liberty, that Libertarianism was created to fight.

What is so damned problematic about an Obama presidency, a Democratic congress. Bush pissed me off and I think he hurt my country and hurt it badly, but I don't think him Evil. He was wrong on many things, but our government, our agencies, our departments, our civil service, tried -- with some of the worst and most terrible efforts to subvert ther rule of law -- to follow the rules that our representatives and Senators have made over generations. Even with the abuses, we had debates. Obama, rightly or wrongly, accepted some of the most obnoxious assertions of Bush.

And here we are, two years after a new President. We have Tea Parties, election coverage that forces people to take sides like the sharks and the jets in West Side Story.

God, it's so stupid.

If you've lived abroad like me, you'll realize that the U.S. president has far less powers than a British Prime Minister (or Canadian or Australian or Jamaican PM for that matter) or a Brazilian President or French President, or even, sometimes, a German Chancellor. Obama, certainly has less direct power over our governemnt than Putin or Medvedev im Russia or Hu Jintao China.

Yet he gets wacked over crazy accustions of Socialism. Whatever Obama may belive in, he can't impose socialism on the U.S. The U.S. congress, might, in a bizarre scenario, have to power to end free markets in the U.S., but let's be serious, they couldn't even pass really tough laws against a financial industry that showed near total irresponsiblitity after getting Congress to pass (under Democratic and Republican governments) laws that deregulated their industry.

Americans need to stop this Right-Left, Democrat-Republican, narriative. Republicans, the party of Lincoln, now work to restrict Civil Rights of African Americans and minorities. Democrats, who fight ``Wall St.'' were in power when the deregulations that allowed the recent meltdown, were passed.

The only thing that is certain is that Sara Palin remains a political idiot and that the Democrats have two less balls than Sarah.

Damn

when will smart folks start talking real politics

Yeppers I can see why Paul is exhausted . I've people win Dancing With the Stars and do less dancing than Rand did on RMS
