First "vaginal vaults," then clitoris-stimulating mustaches, now pimping. Is Althouse getting a bit lonely up in NY?

And they'll be right on all counts.

More to the point, using "pimping," as Shuster did about somebody's daughter clearly has a different, quite deliberate, and deliberately offensive meaning. Not that Bob gives a crap.

Keith Olbermann is MSNBC's fair haired boy. He can say what he wants, insult who he wants and make inappropriate and disgusting comments and nothing will be done.

Once again, this is an internal MSNBC matter; but to cave in to an elected official running for another elected office, MSNBC has demonstrated cowardice.

They had the guy apologize and that should have been the end. Mrs. Clinton demands changes in their coverage. They should tell her to go... and then remind her of the US Constitution.

Mrs. Clinton is fair game. She put herself out there and she has to take the hits- fair or unfair. To demand MSNBC to play nice is nothing more than whining- a Clinton tactic.

In spite of his job title, in what way is David Shuster not an "opinion pundit" and in what way was his comment not satirical? Its all about the target.

MadisonMan म्हणाले...

They should have had him apologize sincerely, not ooze unctuously.

Here's what I would have said: Yesterday I let my disdain for a politician color my word choice in a question, and as a result I asked an important question in an offensive manner. Letting my opinions color my coverage is an absolutely unprofessional breach of journalistic ethics, and for that I am deeply ashamed. I ask for pardons from my viewers, and also from the Clinton family who are rightly indignant. No one knows how to give a good apology anymore these days. All these I apologize to anyone who was offended non-apologies that blame the victim! It's your fault you were offended! Get a thick skin!

I agree with thephantomspitter's 9:41 comment.

(btw: My apology presumes Shuster is a professional journalist, not just some skeevy pundit).

The Drill SGT म्हणाले...

a pox on both their houses.

1. Chelsea is fair game in general. she's 27 and campaigning.

2. Shuster should not use pimping to describe the activities of anybody's daughter.

3. Shuster should have given a reasonable apology

4. Hilliary went too far and should be called on it for demanding more than a simple apology. e.g. altering the coverage.

5. NBC should not have caved

6. Olbermann is an ass. His rant about Petraus was over the line. I got a kick out of his citing Mathews, another clown as his source.

7. Olbermann should have apologized as well to Petraus. He is paid to rant about Bush, I have no 1st amendment issue with that.

8. I'd just as soon not have pimp, nigger and whore in my news.

You cannot force someone to do anything with sincerity, especially if they personally feel they have done nothing wrong.

I do agree that no one knows how to apologize anymore. An apology should be voluntary, swift, humble, personal, and sincere. It should also be short.

No one knows how to accept an apology either. People, not just Clinton, want action. They want people punished. This is just as big a problem. Accept the apology and move on.

MCG and others here miss the point. The Clintons are fair game and they know it. Their daughter isn't fair game and the media knows it.

And nothing Obermann said was untrue.

We're not defending it, we're saying you've misrepresented it [redirecting the attack from Hillary to Chelsea] to feign outrage.

And of course, the Olberman/MoveOn piece just proves how hypocritical you are about it.

Hoosier Daddy म्हणाले...

The Clintons are fair game and they know it. Their daughter isn't fair game and the media knows it.

So Chelsea can step up and toss her body in front of Hillary for campaign purposes and she’s not fair game?

Care to try and rationalize that other than just saying it’s so? Or do we need the hdhouse decoder ring to figure it out?

Doug म्हणाले...

Edward R. Murrow would not approve of such language.

If pimping in the context that Shuster used it is considered sexist, then Olbermann's context should be considered homophobic.

More pimping! It should be used to describe everybody, starting with the networks.

In short anybody whose motive is not what it seems, but in mass culture first of all.

Why not? At what point do we concede that Chelsea is a grown up woman? Is she going to be a protected infant for the rest of her life or is she accountable for her actions and accountable for how they look to the public?

It seems that Cheney's and Bush's
"children" were fair game and quite enthusiatically used by the media?

Ann Althouse म्हणाले...

"Fair game" is a metaphor that's actually quite ugly. To say she's not "fair game" is overstating it and thus stacking the deck. She's not beyond criticism. Shuster was absolutely fine to ask the question that implied a criticism, but he used a word that upsets some people. He should have said "exploiting," which would have meant exactly the same thing. So he handed people a cudgel to beat him with. That was stupid, and he regrets it. He apologized. We should not get distracted, however. We should feel absolutely free to criticize all the politicians and we would be fools not to see that Chelsea is one too.

MadisonMan म्हणाले...

I absolutely agree it's an important question. It's unfortunate that a half-assed "journalist" asked the question so ineptly that it can't now be answered for a while.

Chelsea was in Wisconsin yesterday. Obama is here today. Is there some election thing coming up?

hdhouse said...

That was the case when Chelsea was a minor or a student, and not campaigning.

I disagree now. To the extent that families of politicans are bystanders, they should not be attacked by the opposition or hounded by the press. Just like the old Mafia rules about "civilians" in the Godfather.

However, if a 27 year old woman investment banker (e.g Chelsea) is working the campaign trail as a surrogate for her parent, then absolutely, what she does, who she is smoozing and what she says is open to reporting and attack by all parties.

However, those attacks should show a modicum of politeness and civility.

I am in Vegas for the clothing convention and was at the bar at the Bellagio last night. Now there was some pimping going on in there let me tell you.

None of them looked like Hillary or General Petraeus.

Only one of them had one of those hats with the feather in them. But his nickname was old school. So there you go.

Swifty Quick म्हणाले...

What's all this talk about "Chelsea isn't fair game"? This isn't about Chelsea. It never was. The Clinton enablers want to make it about Chelsea because then they can posture themselves on the high road and play the victim card, but, sorry, no dice, this isn't about Chelsea. If somebody had said, for instance, that "Chelsea is whoring herself", then, yeppers, that'd be a statement directed at Chelsea, and it'd be about Chelsea. But nobody said that. What was said was that Hill is pimping Chelsea out. Thus, it's about Hillary, and it's her actions that are in question.

I'm just wondering for contrast and comparison sake how much outrage the Hillster feigned about Bill's actual actions with a 21-year old intern, and whether she apolgized to her parents for what Bill actually did to her. Pffff-tttt.

Trooper York म्हणाले...

He did have a mustache if that means anything. Also a silver cane and white shoes. Very spiffy.

He should have said "exploiting," which would have meant exactly the same thing

Ah yes Ann, because we all know Chelsea simply cannot be doing this on her own free will. Women are just too dumb to take on such a task of campaigning for their own parents, or too dumb to notice if they're being "exploited".

We're supposed to take you seriously on feminism, why exactly?

I imagine/guess/suppose that Chelsea is of her own free will attempting to help her Parent's campaign. She can do whatever she wants. BUT she is not above criticism and is no longer an innocent bystander or little girl. Can the criticism be unfair. Hell yes. Welcome to politics Chelsea.

However, when people are using people,for their own personal gain and who are emotionally connected to them and therefore easily manipulated, it is a form of pimping or exploitation. Probably the better word choice for it.

You don't have to have sex to be a whore. There are a lot of people in corporate america that are de facto whores.

It is not so much whether this particular criticism is fair or unfair. It is indecorous. It is vulgar. It is common.

That said, none of this obviates the point that Shuster was analogising the youngest Clinton to a whore. Because you don't pimp out respectable young women. You may exploit them, perhaps. But the ones you pimp out are called "prostitutes."

Oh, bullshit, Henhouse.

Anyone who is active in the campaign of a politician, beyond showing up and waving to crowds and saying a few remarks is open to being questioned. Chelsea Clinton is out full-time on the campaign trail, being the keynote speaker at rallies, lobbying delegates, making fundraising calls.

I noticed ol' Henhouse lobbed his grenade and moved on....

The "rules" seem pretty simple. Elizabeth Edwards as Slick's campaign manager is open to scrutiny, the 5 Romney sons actively campaigning are too. So is Hillary's spouse, and Obama's because they are active players.

But McCain's trophy wife who limits herself to standing and looking pretty is out of bounds, as are the Obama kids, as Cheney's daughter should have been in 2004.

Also out of bounds should be candidate family members personal lives, unless they themselves bring it up as relevant to a campaign.
And certainly this odious new practice of reaching out and condemning candidates kids for not acting out the script of their parent's stance on issues. Stuff like Huck's son killing a dog, "chickenhawk" Chelsea for being a coward and not enlisting in the Marines when her Dad was bombing Kosovo, the Romney "shirkers", or why anti-war Richardson's sons were too cowardly NOT to chain themselves to Capital Hill steps and starve in an anti-war hunger strike to show their Dad had moral authority and was not just another anti-war hypocrite failing to order his sons about into actionable alignment with his views......

Only if the daughter knowingly takes on a trick, something we don't know. And really don't care about either. But what we do know and what we do care about is that the mother is trying real hard to make it happen. Thus, that's where the focus belongs.

BTW, sleight of hand is another Clinton calling card.

I haven't been following this manufactured, bullsh*t David Shuster controversy but, in case anyone's wondering, I have no problem with someone saying they think the Clintons are pimping out their daughter, and I'd have no problem with it even if I had disagreed with Shuster that the Clintons are pimping her.

It's funny how touchy the Clintonoids are about any little thing said in relation to Chelsea. They didn't much mind when Bill Clinton was using, abusing, sexually harassing, and (in at least one case) raping young women, and then sending people out into the media to slander and attack those women, calling them stalkers, nuts, sluts, and trailer trash. But those women weren't royalty like sweet Princess Chelsea. They were low-class whores who should've kept their mouths shut except when Bill needed servicing. Now, don't you dare place even a slightly uncouth word in the same sentence as the name Chelsea Clinton. She is sacred.

What the hell do Shuster's politics have to do with my point?

Which was that the wingnuts here, who forever bemoan the coarsening of the culture caused by liberals, were somehow reduced to defending what should be, by their lights, indefensible.

Out of curiosity, is Chelsea stumping for mom on the campaign trail part of her job description working for that hedge fund? Or

or, since she is likely gonna make 500,000 this year, if Chelsea is on salary, doesn't that make it an illegal donation?

I doubt it is in her job description, but since no one knows what it is she actually does it's hard to say. We do know that the prinicpals of the hedge fund are big donors to her parents. Maybe they gave her a permission slip for absences.

and to spitter: no one is in reality calling Chelsea a whore. We are remarking on the interesting use that her parents are making of her which looks very much like exploitation (since you like that word better). Note the curious absence of Hillary's other family members, Anthony Rhodam in particular. Could it be because there is no value in exploiting or trotting him out on the campaign trail? I see her Mother isn't as prevelant either.

Your bed is what you make it. The Clinton's have played dirty politics for years and have destroyed many people's reputation in their quest for power. Maybe Chelsea doesn't deserve this negative attention, but it is her choice to jump into the cesspool with Bill and Hillary.

Just for the record, as someone who you predictably might refer to as a wingnut, I don't think I would ever bemoan the coarsening of the culture caused by liberals. I actually prefer a good honest course culture to a bland phony slick Clintonian one.

For instance, I'm fully in favor of governors and presidents enjoying all the oral sex with appropriate partners that they want and need. Coarse oral sex, if that's what they like. Oral sex that requires taking a culture, if that's what they need.

But why lie about it?

Is it because, as a lawyer and as an employer, he knew it qualified as sexual harassment? Then, as president, work to encourage Congress to change sexual harassment laws so that you're free to pimp out, er, I mean, exploit whomever you wish.

Peter V. Bella म्हणाले...

House,
Hillary is a US Senator and a presidential candidate. She has no right to tell a media outlet how they are to do anything. She got an apology and she should have moved on. She decided to write a letter demanding action, punishment, and a change in MSNBC coverage- like Harry Reid has on two other occasions. These elected servants of the people are held to a higher standard of conduct and they should act like it.

If Bill, an ordinary citizen, would have used is self rightous anger on this occasion, everyoine would have agreed with him. There would have been none of this consternation.

As to Chelsea, she is campaigning. The Romney kids took hits and no one cried foul.

As to Olbermann, whether he speaks the truth or not, it is his insulting, degrading, and chidlish style that is offensive. One can tell what they perceive to be the truth without demeaning, degrading, dehumanizing, and demonizing people. He is given the white glove treatment becasue of his ratings the ad revenue he brings in.

Harry Truman's letter to the Washington Post critic Paul Hume:

Mr. Hume:

I’ve just read your lousy review of Margaret’s concert. I’ve come to the conclusion that you are an “eight ulcer man on four ulcer pay.”

It seems to me that you are a frustrated old man who wishes he could have been successful. When you write such poppy-cock as was in the back section of the paper you work for it shows conclusively that you’re off the beam and at least four of your ulcers are at work.

Some day I hope to meet you. When that happens you’ll need to a new nose, a lot of beefsteak for black eyes, and perhaps a supporter below!

Vince Foster was a lesbian? Are we back to talking about transgendered people?

The things that some people refuse to see and the things they condone if it is done by people in their own ideological group. The Clintons have a calculated campaign of character assasination directed at anyone who stands in their way. They tried it on Obama, but failed...so far.

Harry Truman did not demand an apology, punishment, or a change in the way the newspaper covers issues. He knew his constitutional responsibility. He just insulted and threatened physical violence- today he would probably be impeached.
