He went after Chelsea Clinton in a very nasty way back in 2008 when he said that Hillary was pimping Chelsea out for her campaign or some nonsense like that. He was suspended by MSNBC after he offered a half-hearted apology to Hillary/Chelsea for his remark.

Hell, Mama Cat Hillary came back at him for going after her cub.

Hillary rips MSNBC's Shuster
By MICHAEL CALDERONE and KENNETH P. VOGEL 02/09/2008 02:39 PM EST

ORONO, Maine — Hillary Rodham Clinton on Saturday morning ripped MSNBC over reporter David Shuster’s suggestion that Chelsea Clinton was “sort of being pimped out” by the campaign.

“I found the remarks incredibly offensive,” Clinton told reporters in this snowy town outside Bangor. Earlier, she sent a letter to NBC brass that called for swift action against Shuster, who was suspended Friday by MSNBC.

“Nothing justifies the kind of debasing language that David Shuster used and no temporary suspension or half-hearted apology is sufficient,” Clinton wrote to NBC News President Steve Capus, who apparently had already called Clinton to personally apologize.

“I would urge you to look at the pattern of behavior on your network that seems to repeatedly lead to this sort of degrading language,” Clinton wrote. “There’s a lot at stake for our country in this election. Surely, you can do your jobs as journalists and commentators and still keep the discourse civil and appropriate.”

NBC did not immediately respond to an e-mailed request for comment.

The letter and harsh rebuke followed similar comments made by her top advisers and came a day after Shuster issued an on-air apology and was suspended.
