Palin's PAC asks about Bashir action [View all]

Source: AP

NEW YORK (AP) — Sarah Palin on Wednesday cancelled a scheduled interview with NBC's Matt Lauer following MSNBC host Martin Bashir's suggestion that she deserved a graphic punishment for comments made about slavery.

An NBC executive who spoke on condition of anonymity because the person is not involved in booking "Today" show guests confirmed the cancellation, first reported by Fox News. NBC hopes to reschedule Lauer's trip to Alaska for the holiday season interview, the executive said.

Palin has proven a potent ratings-grabber for the second-place morning show, where she once appeared as a guest host.

Bashir apologized Monday for suggesting that someone defecate in Palin's mouth because of a remark she made comparing the United States' indebtedness to China with slavery. MSNBC has not responded to repeated queries about whether Bashir will face disciplinary action. Bashir anchored his show on Wednesday.

Defecating in Sarah Palin's mouth would only improve the quality of what comes out of her mouth.

I support Martin Bashir.
