Save David Shuster!
I understand why some of you are upset with Shuster, but please, this is one of the good guys. We all know that.

He does NOT deserve to be fired over this. Chelsea is a grown woman, and if she is not the one contacting MSNBC and trying to get him fired, then I fail to see how Hillary has any right to do so.

Fox news has said MUCH worse about Hillary herself and you don't see her calling for anyone on there to lose their job. This is ridiculous.

Yes, Shuster misspoke, and yes he shouldn't have used the word "pimped" but we all know what he was getting at. He was not implying that Chelsea is a "prostitute." In fact, he did nothing but doat over what a wonderful job the Clintons did raising her before he made that comment.

The man has apologized twice already. It is time to let this one go.

If you want to help Shuster keep his job, sent MSNBC an email. Here is the address.

letters@msnbc.com

Seeing a journalist with ethics who just happens to be on our side lose his job over this would be a travesty. Don't let it happen. Do Something!

I like Shuster. I don't think he will be fired.
He's the scapegoat.
\Matthews should have been kicked out long ago.

5. So the show "Pimp my ride" implies the car is a whore?
Shuster's a moron but he was just trying to be cool. Do you seriously think he meant to imply that Chelsea is a whore?

6. Is this what we have to look forward to from Pres. Hillary?
Is she gonna try to get any reporter fired who says something unkind about her or some member of her family? Shit even bush ain't that bad. Look at all the shit that's been said about his ugly ass mother, his spineless daddy, his zombiefied wife and his twin daughters gone wild.

I hope this isn't an omen of the type of strongarm censorship tactics Hillary would try to use in the WH.

Or if she does, I hope she has the guts to use them on Faux Noise and rush limpballs.

We don't have to look forward to these kind of political games because Obama will be the president.
