MSNBC Suspends Reporter Over Chelsea ‘Pimping’ Comment
Network Labels Shuster’s Remarks ‘Inappropriate,’ ‘Irresponsible’

MSNBC Friday suspended a reporter for saying that Chelsea Clinton had been “pimped out” by the Democratic presidential campaign of her mother, Sen. Hillary Clinton (N.Y.)
The all-news network, calling the remarks “inappropriate” and “irresponsible,” suspended David Shuster, who was a substitute host Thursday on Tucker.
Shuster, talking about how Chelsea Clinton was becoming more active in her mother’s campaign, said on-air, “Doesn’t it seem as if Chelsea is sort of being pimped out in some weird sort of way?”
The remarks so irked the senator that she is threatening to pull out of a scheduled debate on MSNBC Feb. 26 in Ohio. The state will hold its primary March 4.
Shuster later apologized on-air for his remarks.

David Schuster, Keith Olberman, Rachel Madow, Chris Matthews and Ed Schultz are a bunch of commies and left wing cooks who would have been tarred and feathered by our founding fathers. They are not intellectually qualified the have their own tv's shows.

MSNBC's Keith Olbermann and Renegade Author Richard Wolffe were saying yesterday that Sarah Palin can't take a joke when it comes to her kids whom she "has out there". I guess Hillary can't either about her daughter whom she has out there too? I have an idea. How about respecting people's kids and not drag them into the nasty debate this country is in.

IMUS was right, Hillary is a bitch . . . and more. How about a pathological and congenital liar!

MSNBC cannot have uppety commentator that might go off script. IMUS called Hillary a bitch one fateful morning and I knew that he would be in serious trouble (although I did not know what, exactly) then came the Clinton support from Al Sharpton to rail against the nappy ho comment. Really. I guess they needed to reserve room for later firings of any that dare cross the status quo of the REAL media interests...selling us another stolen election!
