David Shuster Learns How to be an Adult
Posted in Freshly Fresh News, Ron Paul, Uncategorized on February 10th, 2008 by grizzlegrizSeveral weeks ago, I posted an article on AmericanChronicle.com that recounted David Shuster’s insults regarding Ron Paul. He called Paul a “kook” and baited Paul supporters to call in to Morning Joe, but Paul called in himself. Turns out that Shuster couldn’t explain his disagreement with Paul and he failed to defend the “kook” charge. Since then, Shuster also called Paul supporters the “Al Quieda” wing of the Republican Party.
I suspected that Shuster was too arrogant to limit his oral volume to candidates who don’t fight back. I was right. Several days ago, Shuster said that the Clinton Campaign was “pimp[ing] out” Chelsea Clinton for celebrity endorsements and superdelegates. But Clinton ain’t the sweetheart that Paul is. Her campaign has stated that they will not attand any more debates at MSNBC and that they will avoid dealing with the media outlet in the future. MSNBC has required that Shuster apologize twice and they have suspended him.
This is not Shuster’s first on-air apology. He had to apologize to Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee for demanding to know if she could name the last soldier from her district who died in Iraq. When she could not, he gave her a false name. Maybe he will grow up a little. Or maybe he has a long future of defensive, equivocating apologies.
