John McCain has agreed to be interviewed by CNN for the first time since his
nomination. He is scheduled to appear on the cable news network’s The
Situation Room With Wolf Blitzer on Wednesday. He last appeared on CNN
in late July, before the Republican convention, when he promised Larry King
that he would bring his running mate to his program, saying, “I will not
risk the wrath of Larry King, I want to assure you.” He did do precisely
that in September when he canceled an appearance on Larry King Live after CNN reporter Campbell Brown doggedly questioned campaign spokesman
Tucker Bounds about Governor Sarah Palin’s role as commander in chief of the
Alaska Air National Guard. A message currently appearing on King’s website
says, “We’re still waiting for the senator to reschedule with us. … We’ve
also extended an invitation to Gov. Palin to be a guest on the show, as Sen.
McCain assured us would happen.”
