Sorry... gotta disagree with you there. Independent of my position for or against HRC, it was dumb, and it WAS inappropriate for a national network correspondent. It was a crass attempt at sensationalism. The point could have been made without those particular words and not raised any sort of hue and cry from the Clinton campaign.

The problem is that nowadays we have "news" networks that are run by "news" bureaus that really aren't about "news" they are about commentary and punditry. And once you go onto the commentary portion you open yourself up for these kind of retaliatory actions. In that one comment Shuster basically called Chelsea a whore and her mom, her pimp. This is no different than when Don Imus called the Rutgers basketball teams "nappy headed hos." Neither of these statements are factual, and they are potentially libelous.
