Thats laughable. If I were in court and I made the statement that something happened to her daughter at Yankee stadium, then I would look for the daughter that was actually AT Yankee stadium.

OMG! "Sad" again????

You can't understand "why they just can't say it was a horrible joke"? Huh? Hey, aren't you the guys who jump up and down and scream "free speech," "free speech", all the time?

I think making fun of Politicians kids who aren't the ones running for office is wrong.

It's laughable that you all are once again contriving anger about a joke. I think this is another diversion to get everyone's mind off the recent wingnut murderers.

You are certainly welcome to your opinion and beliefs.

MSNBC Suspends Reporter Over Chelsea ‘Pimping’ Comment - 2008-02-09 05:21:00 | Multichannel News

From the above article,...
The all-news network, calling the remarks “inappropriate” and “irresponsible,” suspended David Shuster, who was a substitute host Thursday on Tucker.
Shuster, talking about how Chelsea Clinton was becoming more active in her mother’s campaign, said on-air, “Doesn’t it seem as if Chelsea is sort of being pimped out in some weird sort of way?”
The remarks so irked the senator that she is threatening to pull out of a scheduled debate on MSNBC Feb. 26 in Ohio.

But making a joke about a 14 year old girl getting knocked up in the 7th inning of a baseball game in Yankee stadium by a man in his 30s is perfectly alright with MSNBC and NBC.

Joke was about her older daughter- the one who went down like the Titanic, yet has the audacity/stupidlty to preach abstinence to the yokels.

As far as what you say re: Brewer, don't know. Didn't see it. Would like to see legit transcript. etc.

As for your characterization of the Lauer interview with her nutballness- saw it.

You either did not, or else are so in the bag for Sarah that you are not a credible reporter.

Based on your comments about same.

And that why liberals are gunning for the "Fairness doctrine", because conservatives want to silence liberals...gotcha.

OH! Good point.
