HILLARY WANTS DAVID SHUSTER FIRED (or end up like Vince Foster)
New York Daily News ^ | 2/9/08

Posted on 02/09/2008 1:10:43 PM PST by LdSentinal

LEWISTON, Me. — Hillary Clinton isn’t pulling her punches today, and she’s ripped.

Clinton doesn’t think a temporary suspension fits the crime by MSNBC’s David Shuster, who commented this week that the Clinton campaign had “pimped out” 27-year old Chelsea Clinton by having her try to recruit Democratic Party super delegates to support her mother.

Sen. Clinton’s letter to Steve Capus, president of NBC News, pretty much says it all:

Dear Mr. Capus,

Thank you for your call yesterday. I wanted to send you this note to convey the depth of my feeling about David Shuster’s comments.

I know that I am a public figure and that my daughter is playing a public role in my campaign. I am accustomed to criticism, certainly from MSNBC. I know that it goes with the territory.

However, I became Chelsea’s mother long before I ran for any office and I will always be a mom first and a public official second.

Nothing justifies the kind of debasing language that David Shuster used and no temporary suspension or half-hearted apology is sufficient.

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.

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.

Sincerely,

Hillary Rodham Clinton

"Wow - this quip must've been very close to the truth for shillery to get so unhinged."

You'll notice she never denied it in the letter.

“Curious - why doesn’t Chelsea look anything like Bill?Curious - why doesn’t Chelsea look anything like Bill?”

I noticed that too. Wonder if she had an affair with Alfred E. Neuman? Chelsa sure looks a lot like him.

Gee, you only release letters if you wanted the public to know what you wrote, and wadda ya know, she had a whole staff of writers to draft it for her!

Can I get an attention whore picture posted for her efforts?

"The Village Queen Has Spoken". Off with his head!!

Pimping is just a word. Is it derogatory, yes. But so are the kinder words "Using her daughter"!!

It's all about CONTROL!!

So it all boils down to the definition of "IS".

Kinda like the intimidating tactics she and her husband used against Chelsea when she was young to harden her against this kind of thing. It's the old saw, I can abuse my family, but you can't use a simple term like pimping or you are toast.

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.

Yea, like F****** Jew Bastard?

Sincerely,

Hillary Rodham Clinton

Oh that middle name again. Why did she divorce Dennis Rodman for Bill???

Where was the “Election Year Woman of Faith” in the aftermath of Bitch Jacobsen’s bigoted drunken rant and now following Maher’s bigotry as well?

What’s worse, Christian Hillary? “Pimped out Chelsea” or “F-Jesus”?
