LEWISTON, Me. Hillary Clinton isnt pulling her punches today, and shes ripped.
Clinton doesnt think a temporary suspension fits the crime by MSNBCs David Shuster, who commented this week that the Clinton campaign had pimped out 27-year old Chelsea Clinton by having her try to recruit Democratic Party super delegates to support her mother.
Sen. Clintons letter to Steve Capus, president of NBC News, pretty much says it all:
Dear Mr. Capus,
Thank you for your call yesterday. I wanted to send you this note to convey the depth of my feeling about David Shusters comments.
I know that I am a public figure and that my daughter is playing a public role in my campaign. I am accustomed to criticism, certainly from MSNBC. I know that it goes with the territory.
However, I became Chelseas mother long before I ran for any office and I will always be a mom first and a public official second.
Nothing justifies the kind of debasing language that David Shuster used and no temporary suspension or half-hearted apology is sufficient.
I would urge you to look at the pattern of behavior on your network that seems to repeatedly lead to this sort of degrading language.
Theres a lot at stake for our country in this election. Surely, you can do your jobs as journalists and commentators and still keep the discourse civil and appropriate.
Sincerely,
Hillary Rodham Clinton
Thank you devolve, that was a very complicated one, plus had to do it over again!!

For the worse
I believe you replied to th wrong person.
Im out of pinkos now, well done
The quote is from Her Majesty’s email—not you.
Your name just came up next.
Hope this helps, Murron.
Let me clarify:
What does pimping Chelsea out, have to do with what’s at stake for this country?
What a gratuitous self-serving meaningless line to include in an email—so why bother to include it?
Because she knew the email would become public.
What next? A Hillary Shrillary doll?
She laughs, she cries, wears polyesther pantsuits and comes with a throwable ashtray and a cigar.
Only it’s gotta be the cackle, her laugh.
One of those pull string dolls, but these days it would be a digital button.
Also a baby Chelsea in diapers being protected by her mom.
The “protection” could be a cage like structure with spikes on the INSIDE to show how the Clinton’s “hardened” her with Marxist brainwashing when she was younger.
Thanks for the ping!
Yep. It was sad to watch as the Democrats closed ranks (defying all logic if I didn’t understand Democrats) around Bill Clinton when he should have been impeached (he was and should never be allowed to rewrite history about that) AND REMOVED FROM OFFICE.
