Pimping this campaign

David Shuster pissed off the former First Lady, Sen. Hillary Clinton, with his silly use of the term "pimping" in regard to Chelsea Clinton. The dumbest part was that Shuster thinks that campaigning for your mother is somehow unseemly. The Clinton campaign needs her on the trail instead of in Manhattan. It would look bad if Chelsea was on her job at the hedge fund practicing ruthless capitalism, while her mother tries to trick the working class into thinking that she stands with them. The usage of "pimping" is a little offensive, but MSNBC has let Keith Olbermann use it without punishment, so it isn't banned from MSNBC's airwaves.

Shuster is a young dude, so he has probably read quite a few political blogs, more than likely has listened to talk radio, and the language used on those media are far different than what David Brinkley and Edward R. Murrow would have used.

Yet, with many things involving the Clintons, they really pushed their outrage too far. They have threatened to boycott MSNBC's debates because of this and these threats have even offended liberal talk show host Ed Schultz. On Feb. 12th, shortly after 1:00, he compared Hillary's actions to those of Sen. McCarthy.

So today we have Ed Schultz comparing Hillary to McCarthy, and yesterday, Paul Krugman said Obama people were Nixonian. More proof that policitians use the same tactics, deceit, and lies no matter what the party.
