MSNBC anchor David Shuster broke his three-week long Twitter silence last night with a strange series of explanatory tweets about his absence – that were all deleted a few hours later.

What does appear to be clear, however, is Shuster says MSNBC management is stopping him from tweeting.

The O'keefe thing has resulted in lots of retractions and apologies from the MSM. The frothing, over the top claims of "watergate 2" have led MSNBC to put shuster on a short leash.

“Short Leash” Just the way he likes it!

Schuster tends to be a loose cannon. Not as bad as Olbermann, but he does say some stupid things.

The next headline this clown makes will involve an emergency room visit to remove some type of foreign object from his rectum.

A choke chain would be more effective ... more immediate feedback.

His tweets prove he is an irrational left wing kook. No wonder his bosses stopped him.

Yeah, but aren't they infringing on his first amendm....oh never mind.

A few years ago he was “fairly” credible as a reporter (or whatever you want to call him). Then he started stooping to Olbermann’s level. I haven’t watched MSNBC since the campaign. I just can’t take any of it. I strictly watch Fox News and CNN sometimes for international coverage.

Shuster’s teabagger jokes have prompted numerous consumer letters to MSNBC advertisers who have directed MSNBC to pull their ads once they find out what “teabagging” means. Shuster is costing his TARP-indebteded masters big bucks in lost advertising.

Twitter: Shuster's insane hate is denied a new vent.

Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.
