A distasteful comment about Chelsea Clinton by an MSNBC anchor Thursday could imperil Hillary Rodham Clinton's participation in future presidential debates on the network, a Clinton spokesman said.In a conference call with reporters, Clinton communications director Howard Wolfson Friday excoriated MSNBC's David Shuster for suggesting the Clinton campaign had "pimped out" 27-year old Chelsea by having her place phone calls to Democratic Party superdelegates on her mother's behalf. Wolfson called the comment "beneath contempt" and disgusting.
It might not have been the most tasteful thing that has been said on MSNBC, but let's face it the Clintons are being overly dramatic to garner sympathy. Which seems to be an underlying theme with Hillary and her peeps.
You cannot say anything negative about Hillary crying or else you are insensitive.
You cannot say anything about her being bitchy or else you are an unenlightened Neanderthal.
You cannot call out Bill Clinton for making subtle racist comments or YOU get accused of using the race card.
You cannot make the point that Chelsea is being used to attract the youth vote without getting suspended.
Okay granted, David used poor judgement in his word choice. But his point was valid.
It could have been worse. He could have accused Fred Thompson's wife of working the pole.
And look, Scarborough still has a show. In the morning. Opposite the Today show. Oh poor David Shuster!
and what about Pat Buchanon saying that BJohnson MUST have something about Drugs on Obama- and the Clintons must KNOW about it- when they re-aired the BJohnson Clinton Lovefest where she hugged him after he said horrible things about Obama...and Chris Matthews aired it over and over....
ReplyDeleteand Last year Ann Coulter- they aired it over and over what she said at that damned Conservative Conferance....and then he had a whole show where he drooled all over her as she said horrible things about everybody....BUT THAT is okay....
I am trying to post tomorrow WHO to write to and HOW....we can not this remarkable man lose his career because Hill had a ANOTHER snit fit....
On another note- he asked a very important question.....Is Chelsea HER daughter allowed to call the Super Delegates on behalf of her mom...it just sounds kind of unethical...\
He did not mean it in the way that they are implying...he meant it as an Advertizing term...
"pimp" is a common lingo..
I have heard Joe and Chris Matthews and Tucker say much worse things....about Obama..and Edwards...
You know it also demonstrates the power that the Clinton's have over the media.
ReplyDeleteI mean multiple media types have been out and out calling George Bush a liar and a criminal and nobody lost THEIR job over it.
But dare to insult a Clinton? You are out of there!
