Yes, which makes it harder to take this seriously.

Maybe this has been already stated, but remember when Sarah Palin canceled out of CPAC (maybe to avoid another “ethics investigation”). That may have been the genesis of this hit piece. A quote from the Newsmax interview.

“She confirmed that she will be speaking to CPAC in person,” Keene says. “Then her office said she was going to be there, they were just working out the logistics. Then all of a sudden she couldn’t be there. At the last minute she was going to do a videotape. We don’t usually do that, but we said OK. Then it turned out they couldn’t get the videotape done, they couldn’t figure out how to do it or something. And so she just didn’t come.”

Pretty childish reaction I'd say.
