According to Wolf Blitzer, John McCain was supposed to give an interview to CNN today. Excerpts of this interview were to be shown throughout CNN's Tuesday coverage of the RNC.

However, McCain has since withdrawn from this interview. I don't have a direct quote, but Blitzer tells us that the McCain camp claims that Campbell Brown's interview with Tucker Bounds last night went too far. What's "too far?" Simply insisting that he gives an example of Sarah Palin's foreign policy experience.

Video, just in case you haven't seen it, after the jump.

Blitzer rightly noted that CNN doesn't feel as if the conversation was out of bounds (no pun intended), and that it's America's right to know if the VP pick has any foreign policy experience whatsoever.

What's been McCain's line in the past? "Hysterical" response? Yes, I think that's it.

So, what do you think? Legitimate outrage, or is McCain just afraid to confront a national media that all of a sudden has developed the backbone to ask about his judgment?

Update I: Wow, made it to the rec list; thanks guys!

CanyonWren and mka193 have listed Campell Brown's email addresses so you can send her a note of support:

campbell.brown@cnn.com
campbell.brown@turner.com

Let her know how much you appreciate doing her job.

Also, here's a link to the CNN Feedback Page so you can make sure your support reaches the suits, who surely have been hearing a lot of negativity about daring to question McCain and his judgment.

Update II: I think this is pretty important to get out. Please Digg This.
