For those who say we shouldn't criticize Shuster or any other Dem pundit

[MoonRiver]

who is behaving badly, because we previously admired and adored him/her, I have one word: EX-SPOUSE.

If you've been "there" you know it's possible to love somebody one day and despise him or her the next. People change. People do mean and nasty things. And people may lose the respect and support of others when they do. Sometimes permanently.

1. Shuster is not a Dem pundit. He may have an 'on' day - he works for

E NBC and they are not Dems. They are apolitical in one way only - the deny news and news coverage from all citizens.

I know you are referring to what others say, but I read it in your preface and I want to caution everyone - do not trust GENBC to give Dems a fair shake.

Just because someone or an entity criticizes this administration doesn't mean they are in favor or DEMS.

2. Well he has certainly been painted as one here.

Reality often lies outside DUville, however.

3. David Shuster was a Hillary booster and didn't even try to hide it..

I was watching Morning Joe yesterday and once again he was trying to boost Hillary. The subject was the Time poll showing Obama faring better against Mc Cain. Shuster said something really ridiculous in my opinion in his attempt to boost Hillary over Obama (again). He said that if Hillary won the nomination she would have an opportunity to reintroduce herself to voters who don't seem ready to vote for her at this time.

I even whipped off an email to David and Mika telling them that they should just go ahead and work for the Clinton campaign if they could make such a disingenuous suggestion that someone who is already well known by voters the way Hillary is could "reintroduce" themselves. Then I get home and BAM! David is suspended???

I heard what he said about Chelsea. It wasn't a gentlemanly thing to say but to suggest that David is anti-Dem or anti-Hillary is totally without merit. David no longer even tries to hide his political affiliation with the Democratic party. I remember when Obama made his comments about Reagan and republican ideas, David literally had a venomous outburst against Obama. "That was stupid!," he screeched. He was disgusted!!!

So, THIS is the guy the Clintons use as a scapegoat????? I suspect that the Clintons are using David to create yet another fembot rallying cry to get votes. Because apparently they will abuse anybody to achieve their own selfish goals.

And before anybody tries to use the argument against me about what if the same had been said about Michele, I will remind you that I didn't think Imus should have been fired or made the scapegoat for the dysfunctions within the MSM. Likewise, I don't think David who is certainly no Don Imus should be made a scapegoat either. This will backfire. I guarantee you this will backfire. The Clintons used the wrong person to make an example of.
