21. What surprises me are all the DU posters who buy into the meme
that Hillary Clinton is somehow "using" poor almost 28 year old Chelsea Clinton, using her control over her innocent daughter to make her do vile political work that Chelsea isn't empowered enough to just say no to doing.

That is a real shocker for me. I have seen quite a few posters essentially defend Shuster's actual point that Chelsea is some kind of victim here, not a woman nearing 30 who can and is making her own decisions in life. The line seems to be, "OK maybe he shouldn't have used that particular slang, but the point he was making is valid". WTF? If Chelsea was a 28 year old male instead, making phone calls on behalf of his mother or father's run for office, would anyone suggest that "he" was being "pimped out", no matter what definition you use for that phrase?
