1. So let me understand this, you think shuster was correct?
I am an Obama supporter, but there is no question that it was outrageous AND WRONG

We are talking about THIS specific issue, made by a person REPRESENTING THE MEDIA

you can't see the difference?

Bring up a different issue does not in anyway excuse the comments made by shuster

5. Neither was correct. Children of the candidates are OFF LIMITS!!!
and referring to them as pimps is much worse, especially when coming from the MSM

As for mccain's joke, it makes no sense since the Clinton's daughter is quite an attractive kid

3. Let it go
There's no reason to defend Schuster just like there was no reason to defend Imus. Wrong is wrong.

4. There's a pathology at work here.
"Letting it go" is not an option for this poster.

12. Who says the Clintons weren't pissed?
Edited on Fri Feb-08-08 08:31 PM by rinsd
Hotline: 6/15/98:

Arizona Republic's Murphy reports, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ)
"formally apologized" to Pres. Clinton on 6/12 "for a crass joke
he made earlier in the week at the expense of" Hillary Rodham
Clinton, Chelsea Clinton, and AG Janet Reno. McCain spokesperson
Nancy Ives "said a letter of apology had been hand-delivered to
the" WH. Ives "would not repeat the joke that landed McCain in
hot water": "I don't feel comfortable telling you. He feels
awful, and he regrets that he said it ... I just can't repeat
it." Political "sources told the Republic the joke went
something like this: Do you know why Chelsea Clinton is so ugly?
Because Janet Reno is her father." WH Press Sec. Mike McCurry
said 6/12 that Clinton considered McCain's apology letter to be
heartfelt: "The president certainly understands how you get
caught saying things you ordinarily wouldn't have said." McCurry
"said Clinton may have even called McCain to assure him there
were no hard feelings" (6/13).

McCain got reamed for that, he apologized.
