I have to disagree. He didn't call Chelsea a whore. He said the campaign was treating her like a whore. And from a certain perspective he was right. It was certainly crass. I don't think it even approaches the offensiveness of the Imus comment. Imus was making fun of their race, and casting aspersions on their virtue because of it. Shuster was clearly speaking metaphorically. I'm not saying what he said wasn't a little inappropriate, but the reaction from both the Clinton camp and the network was entirely out of proportion.
