| Description | 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.
"He committed to come on Wednesday," Fischer said. "We were hoping he would reconsider and keep his commitment, but he doesn't seem to be changing his mind."
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. |
