Keith Olbermann's Idea For Beating Hillary: Literally Beating Hillary
Keith Olbermann said that Hillary Clinton should be removed from the race by "somebody who can take her into a room and only he comes out." What do you think he meant by that?

The media is nothing if not fickle, and will turn on you faster than an aggrieved Rotweiller, especially if they get an attack of buyers's remorse.

I want to address another aspect of the David Shuster/pimp controversy: the way that what is considered acceptable discourse in a presidential race can give us insight into social norms.

The presence of a black man and woman as important presidential candidates is forcing these guys to rethink how they talk about politics. And some of them are failing miserably.

Both Fox and MSNBC need more Keith Olbermans and Anderson Coopers, men who aren't afraid to call sexism by its real name.

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.
Dennis Perrin | Posted 02.11.2008 | Media
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.

I used the phrase so much back in my TV days that I have carried it with me to a new life of suburban mommy drudgery, and in fact I find myself pimping out my own toddler quite frequently.

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.

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.
Bill Press | Posted 02.09.2008 | Media
Meet the man in the middle. MSNBC's David Shuster was suspended for a question about Chelsea Clinton he asked -- me! Did his question merit suspension? Absolutely.
Jamie Frevele | Posted 02.08.2008 | Media
Lately, as Shuster has been allowed more screen time, it is more than a little apparent that he could be gunning for his own show. If that's the case, he may have had support -- at least until now.
