Unfortunately, @chucktodd, I don't think Congressman Young's schedule will allow him to be on Meet the Press with you tomorrow, but I'll circle back if that changes. Thanks for reaching out!

The congressman in question is Don Young, of Alaska, who passed away back in March. Todd did not send the invitation himself, but he likely approved the invitation. Incompetence is rife up and down the ranks at that show.
