Hillary, cut the sh** already.

It was a dumb remark. There was no malicious intent. David Shuster is a good guy - he has an excellent track record of exposing the Bush Admin corruption. He apologized in good faith.

End of story.

Cut the shit already.

I don't want a whiner President.

Stop milking this for free publicity and sympathy-victim votes.

5. Cry Baby in chief. If this is so offensive to her, stay out of the White House
because it is going to get a lot worse and last for years.

Sometimes good guys make mistakes...but do the Clintons REALLY want a 4 minute compilation of Chelsea photos from the campaign trail on an endless loop?
The CLINTON SYMPATHY TOUR

First its Bill

Now Chelsea

What happened to "finding my voice" or was that just New Age Double-Speak?:puke: :puke:

9. John McCain made a terrible joke about Chelsea when she was 12, but
Edited on Fri Feb-08-08 06:46 PM by wienerdoggie
she chose to befriend him. I imagine the "I won't debate" thing now is to drum up publicity, create sympathy, and get free media attention over this stupid remark, and she's going to milk it for all it's worth. I agree Schuster should apologize, but I've used "pimp" in different contexts as well, so it's not the freakin' crime of the century.

14. No. I hope the Clintons keep this over-dramatic crap up. It hurts them.
It was a dumb remark. He's apologized. But the Clintons can't let it go.

I hope they keep up their "high maintenance" drama.

It only reminds Americans from coast to coast just how sick they are of them.

And anything that brings Bill Clinton out of hiding and back as a sore thumb reminder is a good thing.

25. drama like this is conveniently followed by a victory for Hillary...
do you really think a bit of tears or fake outrage makes such a a difference to voters?

I don't.
but that's a great excuse for the sudden 'change' in polls while the Diebolders gidget their widgets.

16. If Shuster had said that Mrs Obama was being pimped out
you would be screaming racism and sexism.

22. We all agree Schuster screwed up, made an inappropriate remark, and
he's apologized on the air and is suspended. What's next, the public hanging in the town square?

27. "We all agree" So not true, but if it had been Mrs Obama this
place would explode with charges of racism and then yes

a de-balling in the public square would have been the minimum punishment.

The ass clowns here are despicable

31. Well, now you're inventing a scenario out of whole cloth to justify
ever-higher levels of outrage for something that's pretty minor in the grand scheme of political campaigns. That's kinda silly.

then you can charge hypocrisy. You can't make HYPOTHETICAL hypocrisy happen, however.

40. Again, we have to compare apples to apples. It's like a family holiday
brawl where all sorts of past grievances come up, related or not, and the next thing you know, fists are flying and nobody is rational. Wait, maybe that's just my family...you get my point though.

17. the CRYER-IN-CHIEF
You can bet she'll be asked about it tomorrow morning early, and they'll have a camera on her, to glean every glistening tear, every faux wince. Then they'll spread it all day, and hope some of it sticks.

She'll be milking it on Sunday and Monday, too.

Let's face it. Hillary and many of her supporters love to act like they're victims, love to fake outrage, and use it repeatedly to garner sympathy when rational, adult behavior doesn't get them what they want.

47. agreed
I'm sick of the sexist remarks. If Obama teared up at all, they'd be bottling his tears and selling them and they'd be flying off the shelves.

Okay, I shouldn't have said that. It wasn't very nice. But I am so tired of this "crying" crap.

39. MSNBC should have zero tolerance to verbal sexual abuse, especially on their broadcasts.
Many companies already have this policy in place, and strictly enforce it. Talented people are fired on their first mistake. Each employee is given an orientation ahead of time, so that all of them know the rules and how they will be applied.

If MSNBC does not have this policy in place by now, I pity the poor women that have to work there. From what I have heard on their broadcasts, I cannot imagine how these illustrious funderheads act off camera.

...absolutely nothing that will do anything to help the country.

Please! This is fundraising meat served on a corporate plate! Lookee what they said about our daughter! All of them are now attacking our Precious! We must stand tall against this kind of statement by those that....(cough) (cough)... hold on (concentrate on tearing up and biting lip)... yeah, like I was saying, they (tear drop) are (another tear) against (tear and now use a slight breaking of the voice for effect) us...
