No- there was a schedule conflict with a real CNN show... beck's "lil' we-we" ego problem then prompted him to mock ron paul while he wasn't there by asking questions to an empty chair.
I've never seen anything so unprofessional or childish on CNNHN. I lost all respect for him on that very day.
Had he been professional about it, and not do what he did... he might have gotten a Ron Paul interview at a later date...
