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."
