Hillary Rodham Clinton threatened yesterday to pull out of an upcoming debate hosted by MSNBC after one of its correspondents said on air that daughter Chelsea was being "pimped out" by the campaign to win votes.
Correspondent David Shuster made the remark Thursday night as he and others were discussing on air how Chelsea Clinton, 27, is taking an increasingly active role in the campaign.
"Doesn't it seem as if Chelsea is sort of being pimped out in some weird sort of way?"
Wolfson noted that just last month another MSNBC personality, Chris Matthews, apologized for saying the reason Clinton was elected senator was because the nation felt sorry for her after Bill Clinton had sexual liaisons with Monica Lewinsky.
"She didn't win there on her merits," Matthews said.

Somebody buy Shuster a beer.
When you’re talking about a Democrat, it’s ALWAYS a slur when it’s the truth.
Pretty soon the pimps will be complaining, too. About being lumped in there with the Clintons.
Don’t be hard on the Clintons. Pimping is so natural to the Clintons, they don’t even see it.
Folks, let’s admit that it was not a very tasteful comment.
We may despise Hillary and Bill but we ought not be nasty when it comes to Chelsea.
Chelsea: “Please vote for my mommy for President!”
Reporter: “Can we ask you a few questions please, Chelsea.”
Chelsea: “Mom, they’re picking on me again! Make them stop!!”
Wow, if that was “nasty”, we’ve gone pretty far down the PC road. Ouch!
Hillary needs to get some perspective. At least Chelsea wasn’t harassed and raped by some horny hick politician.
And my sincerest apologies to horny hicks everywhere for the inference.
Did Bill Clinton use Arkansas State Troopers to procure women for his sexual trysts?A yes or no answer please.
I smell a class action lawsuit.
This is just an excuse to duck a debate a claim victim status.
Such an uproar! You’d think she’d been groped by US president!
“I smell a class action lawsuit.” Which would be ironic because there would be no “class” involved.
Chelsea is allowed to speak on behalf of Hillary, but she doesn’t have to answer any questions from the media?
I’m with you!
How is it that the Turds at Messed NBC apologize to the Royal Clintoons but never ever for all the smack jaw they laid on GW Bush or other Republicans? I detest the low lifes in the media...I’m no Clinton lover but leave Chelsea alone. I’d be pissed too if they said that about my daughter...’Pimping her out’ Trash as talking heads.
