Bill and Hillary might be taking flak for the vote-suppressing lawsuit their supporters have brought in Nevada, but the couple can count on at least one supporter in the MSM: David Shuster.
Background: this past summer, the DNC in conjunction with the Nevada Dem party agreed that to facilitate participation in the caucuses by the thousands of casino employees who would be working this Saturday, at-large caucuses would be established at the casinos themselves. All was copacetic till a couple weeks ago, when the Culinary Workers Union, thousands of whose members would be attending those casino-based caucuses, endorsed Barack Obama. Suddenly, the teachers union, which is backing Hillary Clinton, brought a lawsuit to stop the casino-based caucuses. A judge has now ruled that the caucuses can proceed.
On today's Morning Joe, host Joe Scarborough and MSNBC's David Shuster got into an extended argument over Mitt Romney's testy exchange with a reporter over the candidate's claim that Washington lobbyists were not running his campaign [in contrast with McCain's]. But while the dust-up between Scarborough and Shuster had its moments, a couple Shuster comments during the briefer Nevada-caucus discussion were, IMHO, more telling.
View video here, which includes both the MSNBC pair's discussion and footage of Bill Clinton's angry reaction to a reporter who had the temerity to question him about the lawsuit.

Shuster sides with Clintons, thinks NV casino caucuses unfair. Hug it out ping to Today show list.
Voters in the Nevada ‘rat caucauses will have to cough up a picture ID to vote.
Shuster is one of the most annoying people on cable tv, second to Olbermann.
I love it when the mask comes off Bill Clinton and people see the ugliness that is behind it.
The teacher’s union may well have a valid gripe, but the judge’s finding was that you can’t change the rules 6 days before an election.
to go with earlier findings that you can’t change the rules right after the election during counting of the ballots, right AlGore?
Interesting. Mara had a similar cow on Brit's Panel last night when Dr. Krauthammer said that Bill looked unwell. The libs can't hide their biases when Sweet Old Bill is the subject.
The important thing is that the voting has the proper result. The business of people actually voting is irrelevant. If they could dispense with the whole messy process, they would.
The rules were put into place to provide an unfair advantage to Hillary!. The fact that they may wind up benefiting somebody else is unacceptable.
LOL...Hillary only supports unions that vote HILLARY.
Shuster’s been swallowing Clintons load for years and years now.
Thanks for the ping. Bill & Hill certainly aren’t coming off like the king & queen of hearts.
Run Hillaryous Run!
And even MONICA wouldn't do that...
Watched a portion of it live and couldn’t get to the remote fast enough. His existence at foxnews must have been unbearable for him.
Who cares what David Shuster thinks about the Nevada caucuses. How about reporting the news, instead of giving uninformed opinions?
Governs watches the “drive you nuts” media..(it started with the Today show) ... to keep us informed on their shamelessly dim behavior...One can be removed from his ping list or simply scroll on by.
I can’t bear watching them on TV...Governs keeps me up on their latest behavior.
BTTT
Tone down the photo stuff, it looks like a menage to me.
Perfect bumper sticker if it could be reconfigured to fit the size.
