MSNBC'S David Shuster Discovers The Perils Of Covering The Clinton CampaignDavid Shuster is (was?) a TV journalist I had grown to respect enormously for his mastery of the arcane details of the trial and conviction of White House lawyer I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby. When Shuster last week described the process of Hillary Clinton utilizing her daughter Chelsea to court anti-democratic "superdelegates" by using the verb "to pimp out," he employed a phrase that is colloquial yet quite apt. Hillary's subsequent bullying of Shuster's network - MSNBC - into forcing him to apologize on the air strikes a blow against independent media and reveals the presidential candidate's arrogance and propensity for authoritarianism. MSNBC and Shuster should have stuck to their guns, even if it meant forgoing the Clinton machine's advertising revenues.

Mr. Blaine - you might get more support on BQ if you stop insulting the people you're trying to convince. The carrot is more effective than the stick.
Good blog.
I adore small time blogs - many times they put out better stuff than the mainstream blogs, which have topics that are taboo and won't ever be written about, or are so partisan that they lose all sight of common sense.
Cheers!

Well, AmericanGoy, I certainly am not partisan. I try to look for the truth, from wherever it comes.
Thanks for the comment.
