Sure she is being "pimped out" along with the children of any other candidate that is stumping for the parent. MCNBC has suspended David Shuster for making the comment, but it is the truth, in my opinion.
The LA Times reports:
Shuster apologized Friday morning on MSNBC for the term he applied to Chelsea. He issued a second apology on the MSNBC show "Tucker," where he had uttered his comment while acting as guest host.
Hillary Clinton's campaign staff has been critical of what it considers a hostile attitude toward her in MSNBC's coverage, and the Shuster incident brought matters to a head.
Other media outlets including Sean Hannity have criticized Shuster saying that the children should be "off-limits" to media criticism. I disagree. If Mom and/or Dad are putting them out there to stump and speak for them then Mom, Dad and children have to accept all the criticism. If Mom and Dad want to protect the children from political attacks then keep them off the campaign trail.
Hillary says she may shun future debates sponsored by MSNBC/NBC because of the comment. She is bluffing; she isn't about to allow a debate with Obama the only democrat on stage presenting his case; she isn't stupid... she just wants some special concessions. After all she is Hillary Clinton and the Clintons always get special treatment.
In my opinion MSNBC and Shuster made a mistake by apologizing for the "pimped out" comment. I don't think an apology was needed or necessary.
