Greg Sargent: David Shuster Will Not Be Fired
After Hillary seemed to suggest that his suspension was not enough of a punishment for his pimp remark, MSNBC affirmed to Greg Sargent at Talking Points Memo that David Shuster will not be fired.
"He remains on suspension indefinitely, but he will not be fired and will be returning to MSNBC," MSNBC director of communications Alana Russo told Sargent, who then speculates (pretty plausibly, we think) what it all means:
A great deal of grievance had already been built up between MSNBC and the Hillary camp over Matthews' less-than-chivalrous treatment of Hillary on the network. In denouncing Shuster's remark, the Hillary campaign has chastised the network in general for the tone of its political coverage and pattern of sexist remarks. And though Camp Hillary has always been careful not to name Matthews, this is primarily who they were talking about.
And as we reported today, it's likely the Clinton campaign knows that, behind the scenes, Shuster is not their chief antagonist at the network.
Hillary Rodham Clinton, nobody avoids using her middle name, why won't the media use Barack obama's middle name "Hussein".is it fair?
Rodham is not her middle name.
What's the point??

"Rodham" was the surname used by Hillary after her marriage to Bill and in Arkansas.The image was a liberated woman who had a mind of her own and should be respected for that. As time progressed, on the heels of criticism for not wanting to take her husbands name, she decided that she would be Hillary Rodham Clinton. Now, I believe she has decided to be called Hillary Clinton. This gives the image of a married woman who can still be and think independently from her husband. As you can see, Hillary has adjusted her name to suit what she felt was politic.
Obama, on the other hand, was always Barack Obama. It is true his middle name is Hussain but its use was clearly not politic as expl. John Fitzgerald Kennedy. Maybe Abraham Lincoln had a middle name but I don't know it. What the hell is the difference?
Barack Obama was always his name, but until he entered politics, he called himself BARRY OBAMA, not Barack Obama.
