Memo to MSNBC Execs: Shuster should be treated no different from Tweety.

Crooks and Liars:

NBC responded very quickly and released this a
little while ago.

On Thursday’s “Tucker” on MSNBC, David Shuster, who was serving as guest-host of the program, made a comment about Chelsea Clinton and the Clinton campaign that was irresponsible and inappropriate. Shuster, who apologized this morning on MSNBC and will again this evening, has been suspended from appearing on all NBC News broadcasts, other than to make his apology. He has also extended an apology to the Clinton family. NBC News takes these matters seriously, and offers our sincere regrets to the Clintons for the remarks.

Makes you wonder why Matthews wasn’t suspended

Josh makes a good point:

Josh Marshall posts that Tweety led to Shuster's fall:

[M]any have rightly criticized Chris Matthews for his repeatedly degrading, often sexist and consistently clownish comments about Hillary Clinton. The most logical way for me to understand this development is that MSNBC is under a lot of fire for Matthews -- but Matthews is untouchable -- and Shuster's easier to can or suspend.

Well now the kids have something else they can say. Yes race is back and now disrespect to woman. No wonder so many woman can relate to the show Desperate Housewives, their living their lives. Men have no respect for woman and Americans are ok with racism. Law Makers feel free to molest kids while on Government time and the crime wave by the so called honest folks is through the roof. Our AG is an open liar and proud of it. Our Supreme Court Judges get their orders from Dick Cheney as Bush just sets back and drinks and does drugs. Welcome to the new America Bush/Cheney style.
