David Shuster suspended

I dunno about the comment, but I find it interesting that David Shuster gets suspended, whereas that fuckstick Chris Matthews says all sorts of horrible things about Hillary Clinton on a regular basis and still stays on the air. Course, he routinely trashes a powerful woman while maintaining a big-boy crush on Bush, Romney and Fred Thompson -- something a shrink could have a field day with.

 

You forgot the blue font. Hell, Matthews might be next to succeed Dean as the head of the DNC.

 

Blue font, my ass. Chris Matthews is a creepy fucker with daddy issues who has problems with women. He's also destroying political discourse in this country. He's up there with Joe Lieberman and Tom Cruise in the trinity of guys I would most like to beat the ever living shit out of....

 

Agree completely

 

Done by proxy:

I have no real problem with suspending the guy -- I get what he was trying to say but the word choice is entirely out of bounds.

But I don't believe they do it if they don't have a debate scheduled.

 

MSNBC really needs to clean up its act. As all cable news nets do. But Chelsea is not 13 anymore and she is campaigning for her mom. It's her choice. I think Shuster's analysis was wrong (not the first time) and lacking in professionalism (again, not the first time), but worse things have been said on MSNBC without suspensions. Another case of NBC covering its ass. THis is NBC 2.0.
The Clintons can't have it both ways, protecting their daughter from the press while using her in the campaign and then acting shocked if anyone says anything demeaning about their adult daughter.
Romney's kids caught flak for not fighting in the Iraq War
Cheney's daughter caught flak for being gay and being Republican
Bush's kids caught flak for getting their drink on

 

And Billary's kid is catching flak for helping moms try to get elected? How dare she!

The comment was stupid, pointless and demeaning.

 

Two things can be true at the same time.

Shuster's comment was odd, insulting and worthy of reprimand.

HRC's campaign, like Bill's before it, isn't happy unless it can be playing victim in some way. Someone's always out to get them. And of course, some folks are. But that doesn't make me any less tired of it -- even when they have a legit gripe.

Both of these things are true, IMHO.

 

Anyone else hear Katie Couric say Mike Huckabee is trying to "suck off" conservative voters?

 

That may be a good strategy for attracting the closet conservatives.

 

I love this world some of y'all live in where all sorts of ridiculous things COULD HAVE BEEN DONE or said to someone on the right, and nothing would have happened, blah, blah, blah.
Bullshit.

 

Somewhere, Willard Romney weeps gently into a silk handkerchief and thinks, "Hell, I'd have done that if they'd have just asked!"
