Chelsea "Pimped Out"

There is a heated back and forth between MSNBC reporter David Shuster and the Hillary campaign following a comment by teh reporter on the news network.

Here's the comment:


In my opinion, while the Clinton campaign has every right to be upset over the remark, they are proving that the stink they are making over it is purely political.
#1 This was not a derrogatory comment about Chelsea, rather one towards the Clinton campaign. They are playing the gender card here, when they way teh reporter was using the term was in no way meant to be derrogatory.
#2 The Clinton campaign is saying they now won't take part in the MSNBC debate in Ohio, a debate they asked for. All of this garners more press about the incident, and draws out the "Hillary's campaign is being attacked by sexist pigs" storyline.

I agree with Shuster, that while a bit off-handed, has been taken WAY out of context. He's been suspended for 3 weeks, and the Clintons should shut up about it and take part in the debate. MSNBC went overboard - and the Clintons should stop playing politics with this.
