For those of you who need to get caught up, it’s OK. Personally, I wouldn’t waste anytime with this frivolous piece of political bullshit if it weren’t everywhere I turn. We’ll start near the end, with this piece from Keith Olbermann, in which he profusely apologizes to the Clintons, and the Clinton campaign – he sets it up well, so I’ll let him take it from here:
So, why all the drama? Because Shuster used the common phrase, “pimped her out.” There’s something called, “Context” – hey newscasters, and politicians, try using it. When discussing the use of Chelsea, be sure to point out that the Clinton’s went to extreme measures during Bill’s presidency and the first part of Hillary’s campaign to keep her “out of the spotlight”. Now, now that the campaign is in trouble, Hillary trouts out the youngest, in order to woo Super Delegates. That’s pimping. That’s mom sitting down with Chelsea and saying, “Now honey, do you love your mom? Do you want her to be happy? Do you want her to have a job? Do you like that Lexus convertible your driving? Then why don’t you go out with these nice Super Delegates, and tell them how great mommy is.” On top of that, Hillary’s reaction was to say she didn’t appreciate it and that we can say whatever we want about her, but not her family. Really? If I’m not mistaken, YOU’RE the one who brought her into the arena. No one would have said anything had it not been for your pimping. AND THEN – for MSNBC to suspend Shuster, and have Keith “Please Respect Me as a Journalist” Olbermann scream this “apology” at the top of his lungs…. C’MON everyone.
All of you are douches. All of you. And yes, Hillary, you are pimping your daughter out. Now what are you going to do? You gonna sick your goons on me for saying so? Bring it on. If you’re not going to like when one person says it, you shouldn’t like it when ANYONE says it.

Whatever. Every candidate trots out their children, but everything Hilary does is repeated in the media as another evil move by this evil bitch. They’ve been doing this to her for 15 years, and it’s the number one opponent she’ll have – herself, aided by Right Wing interpretations of how she dresses, walks down the street, procreates, or ends a sentence in a preposition. Plus she’s a Kerry, she’ll jump right into their nets over and over. They don’t have this power over Obama, they have to go racist, which doesn’t play as well as they think it does. THIS, still plays.
I’m not quite sure what you’re arguing. I’m pissed that she decided to “take a stand” against her “daugher being pimped” – using that terminology. She’s “taking a stand” because someone picked on her kid. That’s the douchey move – only to be supported in the move by MSNBC and the press at-large.
By taking a stand against MSNBC saying that she’s pimping-out her daughter, Hillary is once again pimping out her daughter! By asking for an apology and calling the president of NBC news to threaten debate cancellations on the network and to say “how could you say that to my daughter,” that’s a brilliant political move with emotion and immediacy to grab mothers supporting Obama. She’s basically creating a black cloud out of thin air to overshadow the fact that Obama is winning and winning and winning some more.
That said, I’m still voting Dick Lugar.
