On February 7, 2008, while hosting on Countdown with Keith Olbermann, Shuster discussed Chelsea Clinton's campaigning for her mother Hillary Clinton, her efforts to influence superdelegates, and her refusal to answer any questions by the media. When his guest, Bill Press, pointed out that Bush's daughters campaigned for their father, Shuster noted the different access rules in each case and responded, “There's just something a little bit unseemly to me that Chelsea's out there calling up celebrities, saying support my mom … doesn't it seem like Chelsea's sort of being pimped out in some weird sort of way?”

The Clinton campaign demanded an apology and stated that Clinton might not participate in any further debates on MSNBC.[5] Shuster was temporarily suspended from all NBC News and MSNBC appearances for his comments, rather than having to issue an apology.[6] Before the suspension Shuster had engaged in a heated e-mail exchange with a Clinton staffer in which he defended his remarks.[7] Shuster’s two-week suspension[8] from on-air duties ended on February 22, 2008.
