I would like to stop our jail society, save our dysfunctional schools, rein in the Pentagon and turn the "war on terror" into a police action. Am I on the "left"?

Today we know there's no such person as Martin Eisenstadt. He was nothing but a hoax. The truth was established way back in June, thanks to good sleuthing by a blogger.

L'Affaire Shuster: Big Camel, Big Straw

Huffington Post | Rachel Sklar | Posted 02.12.2008 | Media


Some people thought this called for Shuster's firing, but they're wrong: It called for an examination of a pattern of behavior. At this point, Clinton and her team should know that any more is gonna smack of politics; her point has been amply, amply made.

By speaking on cable television in the way that everyone regularly speaks on the Internet, Shuster gave us a preview of speech control in Hillaryland.

Hillary's No Victim

The "pimp" comment has worked beautifully for the Clinton campaign, allowing Hillary to once again pose as the poor victim of rampant sexism, only this time she gets to bring Chelsea on the shame stage.

Shuster was acting in the role of a talk show host. Talk show hosts are not news people, they give their opinions and are often wrong and misguided. The problem is MSNBC doesn't know which universe it's in.

Pimp My Riot: In Defense of David Shuster

Chez Pazienza | Posted 02.10.2008 | Media

Shuster raised a relevant point in an unquestionably crass and injudicious manner, and there's no doubt that he wouldn't challenge, say, Michelle Obama, in the same way.

The truth about Shuster is that he never intended to apologize; didn't want to; was made to. This exchange reveals it. It's also why he ended up getting suspended.
