McCain Cancels Larry King Interview over Palin Controversy

CNN: McCain Cancels Larry King Live Appearance Cable news network: McCain campaign said Campbell Brown interview of spokesman Tucker Bounds was 'over the line.' By John Eggerton -- Broadcasting & Cable, 9/2/2008 6:17:00 PM According to CNN, Republican presidential nominee Sen. John McCain (Ariz.) pulled out of a scheduled interview with the network after a segment with Campbell Brown and a top McCain spokesman Monday night in which Brown asked for examples of a foreign-policy decision made by Republican vice president pick Sarah Palin. McCain was scheduled to appear on Larry King Live, but CNN's Wolf Blitzer said Tuesday that the campaign told the news network they thought Brown's interview with spokesman Tucker Bounds was "over the line." CNN said it disagreed and it is committed to covering both sides of issues. The McCain campaign was checking into the report of the interview’s cancellation at press time. Only hours after CNN said McCain pulled out of the interview with King, ABC News announced that it has "the only interview" with the candidate during the Republican National Convention. That will be Wednesday night (Sept. 3) with Charlie Gibson for World News, Nightline and Good Morning America (Thursday morning).

This is a clip of the interview:

Campbell Brown was totally fair and reasonable in that interview. She wasn't satisfied with those evasive, bull**** answers.

McCain is weak sauce. I can hear him hurdling a chair across the room in anger as I type.

The man survived 5-1/2 years as a POW.

He's afraid of Larry King? The man wears colorful suspenders for God sake.

I didn't read the word 'afraid' in anything that CocoaGoddess said. She's not accusing him of being afraid.

This is just one more thing in a looong list of reasons why I won't be voting for John McCain. One more screw up, one more bad decision in a long list of republican bad decisions.

And Obama won't discuss things with Hannity - or debate McCain other than the classic, traditional 3.

Round Robin and it doesn't actually matter.

I didn't mean to imply that she was accusing him of being afraid. Those were my own words.

In any situation.... it bothers me when a candidate is unwilling to defend themselves when being put on the spot.

I don't know.... I guess I expect more from people who think they're ready to be president.

If that's true, it's equally lame.

That's because it's not true.

The whole Democratic party's slew of candidates refused to do a Fox News debate because of the perceived bias of the network. No Republicans refused the big 3's debates (plus CNN, if memory serves me right), so I guess they don't have a problem with them?
