MSNBC personality, Chris Matthews, apologized for saying the reason Clinton was elected senator was because the nation felt sorry for her after Bill Clinton had sexual liaisons with Monica Lewinsky. "She didn't win there on her merits," Matthews said.
Hillary Rodham Clinton threatened yesterday to pull out of an upcoming debate hosted by MSNBC after one of its correspondents said on air that daughter Chelsea was being "pimped out" by the campaign to win votes. Correspondent David Shuster made the remark Thursday night as he and others were discussing on air how Chelsea Clinton, 27, is taking an increasingly active role in the campaign. "Doesn't it seem as if Chelsea is sort of being pimped out in some weird sort of way?" Shuster said.
Shuster at first claimed he was justified because Clinton's staff had been rude to him when he asked to interview her daughter. "It's absurdly offensive," Reines wrote. "And what the hell does that even mean?" Chelsea was fair game because she was contacting "superdelegates" - Democratic big shots who go to the party convention without being selected in primaries - and asking them to vote for her mom, Shuster responded.
"I think at some point you really have to question whether or not there is a pattern here at this particular network where you have comments being made and then apologies given," he said.
