David Shuster should apologize to Chelsea Clinton IN PERSON

[bigdarryl]

He needs to or I'm afraid MSNBC's next move is to fire him like they did Imus. If the Clinton camp puts pressure on MSNBC they will throw him under the bus

[Cooley Hurd]

1. Oh, just shove it...

:eyes: He's apologized enough. You're just trying to start shit...:thumbsdown:

[bigdarryl]

5. I'm trying to save his FUCKING job they will fire him mark my word

[Cooley Hurd]

7. Suuuure you are...

:eyes: I'm suprised you're still here...

[Hieronymus]

31. Uh huh .. sure you are..

[HeraldSquare212]

2. The Clintons don't let reporters talk to Chelsea, that's why he was upset in the first place.

They wanted to protect her, but only so much - it was OK to do rallies, etc., but not talk to reporters. I think the contradictions in that - they want to protect her, but they want her to campaign - is probably what led him to his stupid comments.

[DURHAM D]

36. Reporters were not allowed to talk to Kerry and Edwards

children in the last election. Double standard now?

[KoKo]

38. Did the Bush Twins talk to reporters? Does Obama allow his little girls to speak to reporters?

Why is it that Shuster is so concerned about who Chelsea talks to. She's not running for President. And, if she doesn't want to speak to the press it's her right not to.

Shuster was trying to stir up something in a very offensive way.

[tishaLA]

3. Should he come with gifts and supplicate himself too?

[noamnety]

4. If I were Chelsea, I wouldn't want to talk to the asshat.

I sure wouldn't want to meet with random sexist jerks so they can attempt to redeem their reputation at my inconvenience.

[DJ13]

6. He should buy her dinner and propose

Serve the little prick right having Hillary for a Mother In Law.
:eyes:

[Whisp]

8. he should be beheaded. during a primary.

good grief.
the guy apologized and got suspended, what the hell else do you want?

shiney thing, shiney thing, gotta look at the shiney thing!

[MS Liberal]

9. He has done enough.

it was an honest apology.

[mondo joe]

10. I can't imagine why she'd want to do that. I wouldn't, if I were her. NT

[MH1]

11. Yeah just like Clinton should apologize to John Kerry IN PERSON.

And I'll bet that ain't never gonna happen.

[doc03]

15. Clinton apologize to John Kerry, what for?

[MH1]

17. 10/31/06 she jumped on the right wing smear bandwagon.

She implied that he really did say the troops are stupid (he didn't by any stretch), when she could have defended him OR simply wimped out with "no comment".

She knifed him to take him down. Or, she is incredibly stupid to respond the way she did. Either person is not who I want in the White House.

40. Do you have a link?

I tried to use Google to see what her exact words were but coulnd't find it.

[Nailzberg]

12. Yes. On TV. She should go on TV and talk to a reporter.

Her refusals to talk to the press are how this how thing started.

[DURHAM D]

37. Do you think Kate Edwards and the Kerry children who

campaigned for their parents non-stop last time should have been required to talk to reporters?

[Nailzberg]

41. I think anyone doing surrogate speaking for a candidate is in limits

When she was in Iowa on the road with her mother and grandmother, I would say she was off-limits, as she wasn't doing the campaigning. But now she is part of the campaign, and she should be able to take Q's from the press.

I'm not familiar with the extent to which Kate Edwards was involved in her father's campaign. But I would hold the same standard.

[high density]

13. Maybe the Clintons can apologize to us for NAFTA

Any additional apologies from Shuster are just going to be even more distracting from the important issues. He's said he's sorry, now I hope his employer can forgive him for two words that came out of his mouth.

[Orangepeel]

14. That's not on him. I'm sure he would if she'd let him.

He said what he said on TV. An apology on TV is enough. I don't imagine she particular wants to meet with him in person and she shouldn't have to.

[doc03]

16. Needless to say what would have happened if

someone would have said that about anyone from Obama's campaign.

[Lord Helmet]

19. FFS

[izzybeans]

20. What happened?

Seriously, I keep seeing posts but I have no idea what was said.

[Eric J in MN]

27. Media Matters for America has the story

[izzybeans]

28. Whoa. Not a smart move.

[Avalux]

21. Why? He didn't say anything derogatory about her; criticized her parent's tactics.

It was in poor taste and shouldn't have been said and he's apologized. He's one of the best reporters out there and if Hillary and her campaign has their way, he'll never work again. Ludicrous.

[Inuca]

25. Exactly!

The whole discussion was silly, inappropriate, superficial banter of the kind Tucker does all the time. But the pimping comments were questioning Hillary's use of her daughter. Idiotic comment. The only potential insult to Chelsea the way I see it, was in the implication that she is her mom's and dad's puppet. She is a grown woman, for crying out loud.

I saw his apology on Tucker a bit earlier. Short and cringe-inducing. Complimenting the CLintons on how they raised their daughter among other awkward things.

[BuyingThyme]

22. He should send a stripper-gram.

[npincus]

24. good one.

:rofl:

[npincus]

23. oh, brother.

How about flagelatting himself until he's covered in his own blood?

Geez, are we adults here? He apologized via the same medium he uttered those terrible words.

[Eric J in MN]

26. He didn't insult her in person. He doesn't need to apologize in person.

He's been suspended. As long as it's for more than a week, that's enough for me.

[sniffa]

29. I think it should be on his knees, and kissing her feet

And he needs to bring a classy present.

[bunnies]

30. And then he should lick her feet!

And while hes at it... he should shove his nose up the Clintons collective ass like the rest of the MSM!

[comradebillyboy]

33. I notice a brown ring around Kieth Oldberman's nose

from sticking it up Obama's ass.

[Berry Cool]

35. Nice spelling.

Oh well.

[johnnydrama]

32. didn't we

didn't we mercilessly make fun of Romney's kids for Romney saying they were helping the country by campaigning for him.

I'm sure chickenhawk comments were everywhere.

But that we can do because we don't like Romney?

Chelsea is almost 28 years old. If she was offended by the comment, why doesn't she go on TV and explain it? Does she still
need to be "off limits" at 28? 38? 48?

[IndianaGreen]

34. When are the Clintons going to apologize for injecting racially colored language in the campaign?

Like Bush, the Clintons never apologize for anything. And like Bush, the Clintons expect everyone to apologize to them for even a slight.

[Bluerthanblue]

39. this has gotten ridiculous- and if Hillary were POTUS would she

declare war on a country because someone said something rude to Chelsea or Bill????

You are doing the Clintons NO favors when you post this crap.

peace~

[Egnever]

42. I agree
