David Shuster Makes Good With Hillary (with Video Snark)

Tue Feb 12, 2008 at 07:46:38 AM PDT

Last week, the otherwise excellent reporter, David Shuster was substitute hosting the always obnoxious Tuckers! show on MSNBC and made a very unfortunate comment about the Clintons "pimping out their daughter, Chelsea."

The 40ish Shuster argued forcefully in his own defense, cleverly disquised as an apology, that no insult to Chelsea's virtue was intended, but that he was merely employing a modern, if crude choice of words to make a larger point.  

Whether that point is that the Clintons have added prostitution to their evil arsenal of dirty tricks, is still open to debate.

Speaking of "dirty tricks," one has to wonder just what the standards for customer's hygiene would be for a First Lady-cum-Madame or a Former President-cum-Pimp.

Oooohhh.  That was a low blow, wasn't it?

Speaking of "low blows," are we now compelled to speculate on their prices?

A possible "Happy Ending" after the flip.

MSNBC, the network that employs the cod-piece ogling Chris (Tweety) Matthews, appears to have some 'splaining and groveling to do if they want to pull off their scheduled Feb. 26th Democratic Debate in Ohio.

Shuster's apologys and subsequent suspension have not seemed to placate the Clintons, to date.

Apologys from Network executives, and even a Special Comment Apology  by the revered Keith Olbermann have not salved the grevious wound Mr. Shuster inflicted.

I want this debate.  
I want it badly enough that I have been racking my brain for a way to bring these two polarized partys together, in a way that possibly only Barack Obama, with his mystical healing powers could.

I think it's time for a little humility on Shuster's part, and that he needs to start over with the apology.

Here's my idea:
