This is interesting news. The Hillary Clinton campaign is making a big deal out of recent comments by MSNBC's David Shuster that he Clinton campaign is "pimping out" Chelsea Clinton. Shuster has since apologized for his (obviously) poor choice of words.
This is on top of a few weeks ago, Chris Matthews claiming that Hillary's Senate career was made possible, in part, due to her grace under fire during Bill's affairs. (He was much less eloquent the first time)
So, in response, Hillary Clinton is saying she will not debate Obama on MSNBC.
Which, I think is fine, if Hillary wants to make a stand on principles.
But then, why in the hell is she trying to get a debate on Fox News???
Could it be that one (or both?) of these is a bit of a political game?

She's probably in bed with Fox, so to speak....they probably guaranteed her votes if she sticks exclusively with them...
Media have done it before and they continue to try to run the thoughts and minds of this country!!
And she's totally pimpin' Chelsea -she has to because most of the people Chelsea's age are supporting Barack.
Rolls my eyes
Talk about one sided
(and I am not talking about Fox or Hillary)
Tj I am so confused on this one!!!!!!!

It's ridiculous to say she's in bed with Fox. She's using Fox debates as a political ploy to make Barack either sell out, or appear to be ducking her.
Of course she'd use Chelsea to garner votes. No one accuses Obama of having Michelle pimped out, since most women are supporting Hillary. The bottom line is David Shuster, admittedly went over the line, with some very inappropriate, albeit unintentionally offensive language.
And Barb, MSNBC did the responsible thing in suspending him.
I don't know who you are talking about being so one-sided. I clearly stated that it made perfect sense for Hillary to make this decision. However, the decision doesn't occur in a vaccum. The two don't make sense together. One, or both, are a political stunt. I do believe the Fox spin-around is clearly a stunt.
Be careful. It's good to strongly support your candidate. But don't let that blind you to the level of ignorance we've gotten used to from the other side of the aisle.
