Of course Chelsea will lie. She’s been taught by the masters and she’s probably deathly afraid not to.

[savedbygrace]

Clinton can’t take the heat, and it’s been years since she’s even been near the kitchen.

She is not qualified to be President or Commander in Chief. What if President Bob of Iran were to criticize her or Chelsea? What would she do, cry?

[Kenny Bunk]

......That helped his career. Now that he says one bad thing about the Clintons .....

How long you been in detective work? Can you spell/smell "SETUP?"

Shuster goes into his wind-up, he throws. It's a big, fat softball right down the middle. Mrs. Clinton looks it over, she swings ....IT'S OUTA HERE ....Holy Cow! etc. etc.

[dandiegirl]

Her supporters that suck into this kind of act are just plain stupid. I would be emabarrased to support Hillary because everyone would know that I am stupid. Does anyone know if the little princess was offended?

[ODDITHER]

Oh Hillary grow up-
When you use your daughter to pimp for your campaign then you might have someone call you on it.
Each time one of President Bush’s daughters were villified by the press where were you?
Each time one of your minions called President Bush - hitler, liar and worse where were you?
Hillary - you should be fired for pimping your daughter.
David Shuster has carried your Koolaid for years. Let the vicious little liberal die a peaceful death.

Perhaps she is playing it but you know they have kept her under wraps most of her life. I don’t think there are many mothers who would not get irate at the notion of their daughter publicly being “pimped out”.

Hillary is not the offender here,,the shallow incredibly stupid newsman who used that expression is.

"I am a mom first and a candidate second," Clinton told reporters

[DoughtyOne]

Thanks for the response. I understand your aversion to this term. You take care.

[Kenny Bunk]

Mrs. Clinton is not the offender here,
the shallow incredibly stupid newsman
who used that expression is.

The man's use of that term is so utterly reprehensible, that I actually think it was a bit of a set-up. I am only surprised that Mr. Clinton didn't take immediate umbrage. He is after all the putative "father."

[lainie]

"I am a mom first and a candidate second,"

Baloney. If she was a mom first, she wouldn't be pimping out her daughter.

[<1/1,000,000th%]

LOL!

All of a sudden PMSNBC is not OK for the lefties.

[MortMan]

Shuster has been temporarily suspended for his comments, and he has apologized. He has said he was trying to make a larger point about how Chelsea, 27, has been enlisted to work for the campaign though she refuses to talk on the record to the media.

I thought Chelsea would have had to answer press questions with her speaking out for Mom. Instead, Hillary is using her daughter as a political human shield.

Pathetic.

[DoughtyOne]

Folks, I think you’re forgetting that this is a term that has political connotations. It is used not all that infrequently to describe the actions of candidates and their supporters.

If Hillary is going to introduce he 27 year old daughter into this environment, it goes with the territory.
