Weekend Internet Buzz: HIllary Invoked RFK Last March, Too

The following Hillary Clinton news started flying across the Internet last night. More stunning revelations about her RFK assassination remarks have re-surfaced.

So far, as of 2:30 PT today, some cable news networks are skating over the history surrounding this story. (ETA: MSNBC's Olbermann may have covered it in his rant last night but...sometimes Olbermann is so over-the-top I can't get past the heat.)

Yesterday, Clinton made a shockingly inappropriate remark to the Sioux City, South Dakota Argus Leader editorial board. Defending her decision to stay in the race, she invoked the June 1968 RFK assassination. Clinton then issued a wishy-washy apology to the Kennedys but she did not apologize to Obama for stoking everyone's worst fear - the assassination of the presumed first African-American presidential nominee.

However, Time Magazine reveals that Clinton also alluded to the RFK tragedy last March. It appears that Clinton's bizarre comments may actually be a scripted response to questions about her intention to stay in the race through June.

MSNBC Suspends David Shuster But Why Can't The Clinton Camp Take It Like A Man?

MSNBC has suspended anchor David Shuster. The brouhaha started yesterday after Shuster suggested that Chelsea Clinton was being "pimped out" because she worked the phones to call Democratic super delegates in support of her mother.

Yesterday, Clinton communications director Howard Wolfson blasted the comment as "beneath contempt."

Okay. Enough already. Shuster groveled. He apologized on air, he was suspended AND he attempted to contact the Clinton camp - all over a tasteless but relatively harmless remark. (By relative, I'm comparing Shuster's slip to Ann Coulter's vicious comment about John Edwards' deceased son.)

But Hillary continued to milk the incident today during a press conference at the University of Maine, complaining about MSNBC's pattern of "demeaning" remarks. The Clinton camp is using a bunch of charged words: "demeaning," "debasing," "degrading."
