Shuster Clips Clintons for Not Playing Nice
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Is it the province of a "correspondent" of an ostensibly objective network to proclaim the tactics of a presidential candidate "inappropriate"? Apparently so, when the network is MSNBC and the correspondent David Shuster. The frequent sidekick to Chris Matthews and Keith Olbermann got into it with Pat Buchanan on today's Morning Joe.

Shuster spoke out against Hillary's rough-'n-tumble end-game tactics, while a feisty Buchanan defended Clinton's right to go down swinging. Shuster sounded less the reporter and more the DNC member concerned about damage to the party's presumptive presidential candidate. When Mike Barnicle got into the act, he wanted to be sure not to be seen as speaking ill of the Clintons.

Shuster: "The superdelegates have been told by the Clinton campaign, we're going to run like Mike Huckabee. We're going to run nothing but positive at the end. And it only takes them 12 hours and they can't live up to that promise."

Get a clue, Shuster. You've seen the Clintons in action for 20+ years and you're incredulous that their actions don't match their rhetoric?

Hillary is as delusional as Al Gore. After the 2000 election. Loser Al still clinging to some miniscule hope of winning demanded recount after recount hoping for a change of the electoral vote numbers. the final result completely unhinged Mr. Bulkey and to this day he introduces himself as ‘Your elected president’.

Looks like Shuster is still smarting from the Clintons having him suspended for his "pimping" out Chelsea comment. He of all people should know that the Clintons will do whatever it takes. I'm not counting her out yet - there's talk of an "October surprise" on Obama.

Dang - I'm running out of popcorn ;-)
