Shuster is a punk. He is the type of smarmy ***** you would like to kick in the face. We all know that MSNBC is an unoffical member of the Obama campaign. I dislike the Clinton’s, but I also dislike these type of cheap attacks that MSNBC takes on Obama’s behalf. They are not the Michael Savage show, they should be more respectful.

Don’t forget the controversy a couple months ago when another NBC reporter, Erin Burnett, called President Bush a monkey. She made an insincere apology a couple days later, then spoke about it on the Conan O’Brien show. And that was it. Just a slap on her wrists. What’s she been doing lately? How about calling the Apple company a shit stock and writing her gold-digger wish list in the February issue of Men’s Health. If Shuster gets fired, then so should Erin Burnett!

Ok Hill is upset that she pimped out her daughter? I don’t see bill beating his chest and pounding the table over this nonsense!
What if china calls her daughter a name ? Is she gonna “George Bush” the “Button” on them. As far as the MSNBC debate threat..Ob is sick of the debate nonsense….he may not even agree to do it. Hill needs to WOMAN-UP! I don’t remember her putting chel on the “strole” for other campaigns …why now? Oh yea desperate times call for desperate measures!

I like Shuster and I think his comments were dead-on. Chelsea HAS been used to campaign Superdelegates into voting for her Mom. “Pimped out” may not have been the best term to use but it was an accurate expression of the Clinton campaign’s use of their daughter.

But MSNBC/NBC needs to grow some balls. Anyone in politics, especially the Clintons has to have thick skin. This is not a child we’re talking about here, it’s a grown-woman (27 years old). The pandering and caving into Clinton’s campaign machine is unbelievable. We all know that it was the media’s failure to ask the hard questions that helped lead us into the war in Iraq. Is this what we have to look forward to in a Clinton administration-the silencing of any media that asks legit questions and (rightly) criticizes them? Oh yay–just what we need 4-8 more years of muzzling of the press in this country.

And hell, if we want to start suspending people, let’s throw out Scarborough while we’re at it (Fred Thompson’s wife works the pole?), Matthews (any number of comments) and Keith Olbermann too (google Keith’s name and mysogny and see what comes up–hell, key in his name and search on racism and see what comes up). There’s a “swinging dicks” mentality at MSNBC that has long needed addressing but not by a political candidate whose toes they are afraid of stepping on because they don’t want to lose the chance to host a debate.

The comment reminds me of what we call a hostile work environment. If Mathews had not made it so common for sexist remarks, Shuster may not have joined in, but he’s a grown man and he chose to do so. I’m tired of slang in journalism, especially misogynist slang. The pimped out comment got traction but the REAL story is that David Shuster, even leaving the word out, considered it unseemly that a grown daughter of a Presidential candidate should be involved in persuading people to vote for her mother. It’s just sheer bias. Josh Marshall over at TPM thinks the Clintons called for his firing when they said a suspension was not enough. It seems clear to me they said that MS/NBC leaders needed to look at the continued pattern of sexist comments or just biased reporting that has made the main stream media a hostile environment for Hillary Clinton’s campaign

Olbermann’s allowed to say that Bush is “pimping out Petraeus” without so much as a batted eyelash amongst the media. Why is it that targets on the left are are protected species while targets on the right are free-fire zones?

i think hilly is the biggest hyocrite. I didn’t here her crying mama with billy tryst with Monica, Katheleen, Jennifer and all the rest. take a walk hilly and take billy with you. the only modern day impeached president and disbarred lawyer( for lying)

[…]  NBC VP Wanted to Fire Shuster ‘On the Spot’ […]

Ahhh….

Guess what!!! Shuster will be back on the Air Once Hill loses the election…..they are hoping by the end of the month! That is why MSNBC did not fire him! Good move MSNBC!

Mikeee you got it right! Sharpton is like your worse nightmare I have seen him in action at the Brooklyn riots in
NY back in the 90’s …..You don’t want to F***K with him. MSNBC will continue to ride Hill like a 2 trick
pony all the way back to NY when she loses. Once she’s back to just “sen Hill” they will publish some dirt from some
disgruntle former campaign worker. MSNBC has been looking a few Wash insiders to ride next. Woooo
Horsey!!! Come on I know I’m not the only former press card carrying member here. (whick way to 1PP?) People this is a
N0-HILL-BRAINER!

“Goldman, a rising star at Bloomberg News, may be trying to secure a position for Shuster…”

Geez, youse news jews gotta hang tough!!!
