David Schuster asks if the Clinton's are "pimping out" Chelsea

[Stinky The Clown]

His point is that she's campaigning and wants to know why he can't interview her by sticking a microphone in her face.

His point was valid. His phrasing was horrible. (He did while sitting in for the Carlson boy.)

[Cooley Hurd]

1. Yikes! I REALLY hate that phrasing, too...

[NightWatcher]

2. they send her out to cheerlead, but they dont let her take questions from the media

I dont like the phrasing, but that is what they are doing. She is untouchable by others but they can use her....

[Proud2BAmurkin]

6. she's what 30 now she can do whatever the hell she wants. She should tell MSM to fuck off

[rodeodance]

16. I think we all should--this should not be let go--no matter whose side you are on.

[Eric J in MN]

62. John McCain has a daughter campaigning for him but not doing interviews...

...with the press, as far as I've seen.

But David Schuster won't ask if John McCain is "pimping" her, because he's a Republican.

[busymom]

78. 30?

Is she really? Man, I just got depressed. That makes me a lot older too. LOL

[REDFISHBLUEFISH]

8. I did not see Oprah on Hardball getting grilled, did you?

LOL

10. Would You Like If It Someone Said Your Mom, Daughter, Or Wife Was Being Pimped Out?

[Stinky The Clown]

13. I'm not arguing that point

I'm pointing out what I heard and found incredibly jarring. I wonder if that phrasing is a meme or a fuck-up by the usually excellent David Schuster.

[MonkeyFunk]

21. She has no obligation to

answer questions from the media.

[Donnachaidh]

3. Wonder if he'd have the balls to say that about Michelle?

That's a truly offensive comment. :grr:

[berni_mccoy]

4. That's wrong and .. WRONG (only right in principal). He should be reprimanded for it.

[mrreowwr_kittty]

5. I heard it too. Gross. nt

[lisa58]

7. That's horrible...

...maybe he has to channel Tucker or they won't let him do his show.

[in_cog_ni_to]

9. I heard that. I've never heard him be so snarky! Did he question the 5 Romney sons who should be in

Iraq, but thought it was more important to help their dad campaign?

See? NOTHING the Clinton's do is acceptable to the asshole talking heads.

[Auntie Bush]

55. Yeah, I don't recall a single interview with one of the Romney boys.

I also don't remember anyone complaining that they won't give an interview.

[rodeodance]

11. WE need to ALL write to him/msnbe NOW. come on folks this is vile stuff.

[REDFISHBLUEFISH]

19. Start a respond to Shuster thread and include the addresses!

Lets get him kicked off of MSM.

[rodeodance]

23. ok, i will --it will be a bit as I have dial up--but i am on it.

[Cooley Hurd]

26. Kick Shuster off the air?

Talk about biting off your nose to spite your face...:eyes:

[REDFISHBLUEFISH]

30. The guy said something bad enough to warrant it.

Take him out!

[rodeodance]

49. He needs to be called on that language!

[Stinky The Clown]

29. "Lets get him kicked off of MSM."

No, I don't think we need to do that at all. He's generally reliable as a truth teller. I actually think he said it without thinking. That is NOT to excuse it. It was vile. But I think calling for his ouster would not be in **our** best interest .... as if anybody even cares what we think!

[REDFISHBLUEFISH]

33. It is not about his leanings, its about his underlying thoughts. He has to go.

[Stinky The Clown]

38. I'm not a Republican. I can't see a death penalty sentence for a misdemeanor.

[REDFISHBLUEFISH]

41. Jimmy the Greek got canned for something like this. It has precedent.

[Stinky The Clown]

44. I tthink that was wrong, too.

[rodeodance]

50. not asking him to get kicked off --just register a complaint about his language!

[Stinky The Clown]

53. Ooops

Never mind

[Iris]

12. Disgusting. And has he interviewed McCain's daughter? Romney's sons?

They're all active participants in this as well.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

14. cheering your mother on is surely the most demonic thing ever

asshole.

[MannyGoldstein]

15. She's W-a-a-a-a-y Too Busy Using Daddy's Lawyers To Sue Nice Restaurants

And there's the hedge fund, of course.

Take it up with CBS news if you think the reporting is inaccurate.

[CTyankee]

68. Hey, c'mon. Just because Bill went over the top, do we have to?

Really, we have better fish to fry, doncha think?

[Stinky The Clown]

24. So ... saying she's being pimped is okay?

She sued that restaurant. That's a fact. But what on earth does it have to do with someone asking if she's being pimped?

What would you post if someone asked if Michelle Obama was being pimped?

I am completely neutral in the candidate wars. This thread was about a horrible phrasing on national cable teevee by a guy who we on the left tend to trust.

40. Sure, I'm A Mass Murderer

Who was it who voted to start a war that's killed 1,000,000+ and cost $ trillion+? Who is it that started outsourcing torture?

[DemocratSinceBirth]

43. Bush* Started The War

Are you comparing extraoadinary rendition to killing 12,000,000 Jews, Poles, Gypsies, homosexuals, and dissidents ?

47. Clinton Helped Start the War - Most Dems Voted Against It

After equating me to mass murders because I posted a CBS News story, you have the nerve to post that?

Oy!

69. There's Only 100 People In Congress?

An overwhelming majority of House Dems voted against attacking Iraq. All together, most Dems in Congress voted against it - only folks who wanted to appear Presidential voted for it. How sick is that?

[kikiek]

71. There were 100 in the Senate. Actually dems voting against the war was only 21. We

had I think 44 total in the Senate. In the House 435 seats of which abt 202 were Dems and 126 Dems voted against the war. It wasn't by any stretch most. At best about 1/2. Kerry and Daschle voted yes.

[MannyGoldstein]

72. I'm Counting Most Democrats: You Try

http://www.onlisareinsradar.com/archives/000616.php

[kikiek]

73. I don't agree. You're saying most because it is about 1/2. Most indicates a big majority.

I'm not buying what you're selling here.

[MannyGoldstein]

75. "Most" Means "More Than Half'

And that's that.

[MannyGoldstein]

37. No. Sorry If I Gave That Impression.

I was addressing her unavailability for interviews. It's ironic that sometimes she's not involved in La Cosa Clinton - unless she wants to sue nice little restaurants, at which time she sends The Family's foot soldiers.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

39. Shuster Called Her A Whore And You Brought Up A Fucking Restaurant

A whore is something that is pimped out...

[Stephanie]

27. oh geez. I know that restaurant.

It's a cute little hole in the wall on University. Just a small Italian family place, not a celeb hangout. Get a life, Bill.

[MannyGoldstein]

32. I've Eaten There Too - It's near My Dad's Place

Very nice restaurant, absolutely pathetic that the Clinton clan would go after them - just gratuitous thuggery.

[LandOLincoln]

60. Looks to me as if Daddy's being a tad overprotective,

and I wonder if Chelsea even knew about it...

And no one's being sued. That was merely a "ceast and desist" letter from a lawyer, dated back in September.

Got something a little more current? Didn't think so...

[MannyGoldstein]

70. Daddy's A Thug

And a race-baiter.

[LandOLincoln]

80. And you're either a RW shill

or just effing stupid.

Oh wait--that's redundant, isn't it?

[no name no slogan]

22. Ew. That's just wrong.

I would expect he'll probably retract that statement shortly. At least, his bosses will make him retract it, if they know what's good for them.

[Political Heretic]

28. Ummm ew. Just ew. That's horrible choice of words.

[Straight Shooter]

34. Good gawd!

*shakes head slowly and walks away, muttering*

[REDFISHBLUEFISH]

67. Kick!

[MoonRiver]

35. Did he actually say "pimping out?"

If so he should be fired immediately. :mad:

[Stinky The Clown]

42. Yes, he actually used the phrase "pimping out"

He asked, "Are the Clintons pimping out Chelsea?"

Quote/endquote

[MoonRiver]

46. UNBELIEVABLE.

The depths to which these bottom feeders descend continues to disgust me. :mad::mad::mad::mad:

[KoKo]

36. Mainstream Corporate Media ...Striking Back...using Limbaugh Tactics

against Chelsea. Remember the vile comment Limbaugh made about her...I won't honor it with a reapeat.

Hey...Shuster has to earn a living on MSNBC with layoffs and job cuts. He does what he does. (and I like him...but understand a young guy has to support himself and his wife).

[loyalsister]

45. That is ridiculously disgustingly piggish

I have wondered why she hasn't been a spokesperson in the campaign, myself. But, I think this is a seriously sick interpretation and comment.

[JimGinPA]

48. They are pimping her out

Almost as bad as the way little Bindi Irwin is being pimped out.

[rodeodance]

52. and this from an Obama supporter!! Disgusting.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

66. Well, At Least He's Not Bashing Gays Or Latinos At The Moment Like His Cohorts

[BlackVelvet04]

51. What a jackass. n/t

[LandOLincoln]

54. I suggest we all complain to MSNBC, but stop short of calling for

Schuster's job. If it were me, I'd be satisfied with an on-air apology, but that's up to Chelsea Clinton.
I also think the Clintons should let Chelsea handle this and should stay out of it themselves.

Incidentally, I think Schuster's implication that it was her parents' decision that Chelsea not talk to the press, rather than Chelsea's personal choice, is almost as offensive as the "pimping out" abomination itself.

Finally, when I write to MSNBC I plan to tell them that I read about this incident on a blog, because I no longer watch MSNBC myself, Keith included.

[Mass]

56. Schuster is an idiot - Nothing new. As most of the MSM.

[Hutzpa]

58. He is absolutely right,

the Clinton's are surrounded by pimps, keep a close eye at Clinton's
friends and you will find your answer.

Almost each and everyone of the Clinton's acquaintances have history,
a fucking 'bum rap' and they expect to cry, cheat, lied and
bamboozled their way to WH.

:puke:

[Stinky The Clown]

59. Oooookaaaaay ......

[mondo joe]

61. Heck, Perky polled DU some days ago to ask if Bill was pimping out Hillary.

I doubt you'll find much support among the Hillary haters here.

[hill08]

63. Honestly

I don't understand why NBC hates Hillary so much? Are they afraid of Clintons?

[reality based]

64. Not enough.

[Booster]

74. He didn't happen to mention McCain "pimping out" his poor old

mother did he?

[Tom Rinaldo]

76. It's those types of moments that are fueling Hillary's support

and the idiots who can't stop themselves from saying sexist and crude things about her and her familty will propell her into the White House come November.

[DURHAM D]

79. True - I guess we should hope they stay stupid until next November. n/t

[BrightKnight]

81. That was way over the line. - n/t
