TPM Reader RH chimes in on the Shuster story …
I won’t defend the comment, though I will say it certainly wasn’t as bad as some of the things I’ve heard Chris Matthews or any of the “pundits” on Faux News say. However, this letter, given to reporters,
strikes me as a purely political move. It’s much more about controlling the news than any real offense taken by Hillary or Chelsea themselves. If I were MSNBC I would put Keith Olberman on the air tonight and have him say, “Hillary, he said he was sorry, twice, and we regret that it happened, but we’ll keep our own council on who we hire and fire, thanks.”
