Yep...If it had been said about the Bush daughters, PMSNBC Mgmt, would have giggled and said: “Say it again! Say it again!”

Shuster Suspended For "Pimped Out" Comment

There's a rumor one of his colleagues left a copy of "The Vince Foster Story" on his desk too.

I think he deserved it. That is not journalism.

so someone refresh my memory-how long was Tucker Carlson’s suspension for the derogatory comment about Jeri Thompson and pole dancing

Actually, I think it was Joe Scarbarough that said that. I asked the question in an earlier post. I don't think anything really came of that one except for maybe a bit of back-peddling.

Hit a little close to home for Billy Boy.. With all the trailer trash he has had, he must have thought that Shuster wanted him to pimp out his daughter too.

Boxers or briefs, pimped out, I am sure there are many more. Here is the result of what people really feel about you. Can you imagine any one making such a comment about Reagan or Thatcher? No because their was respect and dignity about those people.

The story of Boxers or Briefs. Daughter of a journalist; she sat around the kitchen table with her mom to discuss what she/they would ask at the screened audience “town hall”.

They settled on one about drug legalization. That question was refused and they were asked for something lighter, thus boxers and briefs.

Same as it ever was “Show me the questions”.

>>I don’t think “pimping out” is something different generations interpret differently. Correct me if I am wrong but the meaning is inescapable and has to do with “turning out” or turning someone into a prostitute.

It was a tasteless vile remark and the anchor deserves condemnation.<<

First I agree that personal attacks are usually bad and have no place when directed at the child of a candidate. I’m glad to hear and agree with your your feelings on that.

But since we are 8 years passed the beginning of TV shows (like Pimp my Ride) that use “pimp” to mean “to make great improvement”

For example there is an article on the front page of the Atlanta paper today that talks about a white woman “pimping her garage” and by that they mean “Pimp My Garage” scenario, Rogers is getting a garage makeover, “organizing coaching,” and junk together.

http://www.ajc.com/metro/content/metro/henry/stories/2008/02/08/garage_0208.html

I think this is like “cool” or “black” or “grass” or “gay” or many others that mean different things to different generations. If the generations want to communicate with each other it makes sense to understand how the other generation will hear what you are saying.

It is also common industry slang for those on the Tonight show/Late Show/etc. to know and proclaim that they are “pimping” their latest movie/book/album.

"Hillary stood by and let NOW proclaim that she was being “gang banged” by Osama and Ted Kennedy’s “good old boy network”.

The same leader of NY NOW said that it is symbolic of the sexual harassment that goes on in offices across this nation. HELLO. Hillary and NOW ENABLED a serial rapist who was also accused of multiple episodes of sexual harassment in the workplace (including the use of armed guards to escort an employee to a hotel room where she was ordered to “KISS IT”).

It is beyond a “double standard”. It is a DENIAL of ever having done wrong. Stalin would be embarassed to try this stuff as a Pravda headline."

BUMP!
