Not to mention good ol' Trotts ...

LEWISTON, Me. — Hillary Clinton isn’t pulling her punches today, and she’s ripped.
Clinton doesn’t think a temporary suspension fits the crime by MSNBC’s 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. Clinton’s 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 Shuster’s 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 Chelsea’s 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.
There’s 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
Ah, jeez this is tame compared to what she’s going to do to Free Republic when she takes office.
Yes it was PMSNBC; the anchor/host was Joe Scarborough.
Not to mention good ol' Trotts ...
“Why is Chelsea Clinton so ugly? Because her father is Janet Reno.” - John McCain, 1998
Liberals eat their own.
No way. Shuster was booted off of FOX NEWS years ago. I can’t stand him.

clintoonian machinery goes into overdrive. Watch and learn!
Like I’ve said over and over, Shrillary is loads worse and more dangerous than Bubba.
“Why did she divorce Dennis Rodman for Bill???”
Because Bill “dribbles” less than Dennis.
[oh no! I’m back!]
good one.... LOL
Kneeling by the cannon! Yes, oh yes!
Bet on it.
This can ONLY mean Herr Olbermeister will also lose his job then, since he made the comments about Bush pimping Petraeus right “Her thighness”?
Riiiiiiight.
Bad as I hate Schuster, I’m certain Fox can find a place for him...and he can head up the ‘Klintoon watch’ dept.!

She’s a very mean woman to bully people like this. I do not like her at all.
This is actually quite interesting. She goes all-out belligerent on a network that would basically do ANYTHING to get her elected? Huh?
Is this a play between her and the NBC powers?
Or does she really feel so very entitled?
Or both?
Sheesh...

Thank you for your call yesterday. I wanted to send you this note to convey the depth of my feeling about Keith Olberman's comments about my son George.
I know that I am a public figure and that my son is the President of the United States, and he is accustomed to criticism, certainly from MSNBC. I know that it goes with the territory.
However, I have been George's mother long before he ran for any office and I will always be a mother, he will always be my son.
Nothing justifies the kind of debasing language that Keith Olberman uses all the time, describing my son the President as a "Hitler" 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.
There’s a lot at stake for our country and your network continues to provide a forum for hate speach. Surely, you can do your jobs as journalists and commentators and still keep the discourse civil and appropriate. Sincerely, Mrs. Barbara Bush
Absolutely!
A megalomaniac with a huge chip on her shoulder. History is full of them, and it seldom works out well.
Spittin’ Chrissy is an Obama fan.....that probably had more to do with this than what Dead Eyes Schuster said.
