Free David Shuster!

[npincus]

How quickly they forget... all of the excellent investigative journalism Shuster has done particularly with regard to Valerie Plame and Plame-gate, and the WH cover-up... there are few MSM journalists who cover the stories he has and continues to.

Yes, he said something uncalled for, and APOLOGIZED- twice. Some here seem very quick to silence a voice like his (FIRE him! Tie him to the stake!); a guy who has been a faithful critic of the B*sh Admin and their many scandals. He has done GREAT work, and I hope MSNBC lets him out of his cage- soon.

Free Shuster!

1. Agree! Suspend Matthews. nt

[LSparkle]

2. Amen

He made a mistake. He's apologized. He'll take a few days off and then hopefully be back at work, where he belongs.

[ClassWarrior]

3. Everybody makes boneheaded mistakes and deserves forgiveness.

Right Bill Clinton?

NGU.

4. He's a good man. He merely insulted a woman.

What's wrong with that?

[npincus]

6. Oh, brother.

I am a woman, and capable of accepting an apology from a person who makes a mistake as I myself am not perfect and have most certainly siad hurtful things to both men and women in my lifetime. No offense, but your remark sounds rather self-righteous. Have you ever said something you regreted and asked for forgiveness?

[ClassWarrior]

7. Bill Clinton's a good man. He merely cheated on his wife. But we forgave him.

What's wrong with that?

NGU.

8. Speak For Yourself On That Point

But then, we were very far down the list of who he needed to forgive him.

5. There are others at MSNBC who have been much more

unprofessional than Shuster.

10. He's guilty of very poor phraseology.

I heard his comments and I was pissed at his poor choice of words. But he's one of the good guys.

I have to agree with talking Talking Points Memo that he's the sacrificial lamb...Chris Matthews and Tucker Carlson say worse things daily, but they get no reprimand. I'd take Shuster every day of the week for his excellent reporting and even-handed analysis.
