Back on October 14th, Here's David Frum writing in his blog about his catastrophic appearance on the Rachel Maddow Show:
Just before I traveled to Afghanistan, I accepted an invitation to appear on "The Rachel Maddow Show" on MSNBC when I returned. This was not something I'd normally agree to do: I don't watch the show, but I had (or thought I had) a rough idea of what it was like.
But I write a column for The Week, the appearance was booked through them, so I agreed to do my bit.
Big mistake. I watched the show in horror in the MSNBC green room. Maybe I was a bit crankier than usual: I'm still jet-lagged enough that I have been going to bed by 8:30 most nights this week ... Anyway I was unprepared for the sarcasm and anger of what I saw.
So when it was my time to go on air - and instead of being asked about Afghanistan I was asked about how awful and hateful the John McCain campaign was - I got a little grouchy. I dont know if there's a tape visible anywhere.

And here's what Sarah Palin had to say today about her catastrophic appearance on Catie Curic.
Palin reprised a story she last told a week ago in Noblesville, Indiana about her sit-down with Couric, which was widely panned.
"Last time I was here I got to tell a crowd that I had to give a national interview that didn’t go so well," she said. "And it was because I was kind of annoyed with the questions that I was being asked because I thought they were kind of irrelevant to, you know, national security issues and getting our economy back on track, so I kind of showed some of that annoyance."
If I see the pattern right, if an interview goes poorly, it's because the interviewer made you mad.
Epic Fail.
