Poll question: I'm still frosted about Shuster being suspended
I think he was a scapegoat for NBC. I don't blame Clinton for it at all. And ..... I'm actually not at all frosted about his being suspended. I **am** frosted about the hypocrisy of his being scapegoated.

And I am no apologist for him or what he said. What he said was not nice at all.

But ......

Russert

Matthews

Scarborough

the Carlson laddie

Each of them have **con**sis**ten**tly** been far more sexist and gender insensitive that Shuster ever thought about being.

Matthews is the VERY worst.

Yet Steve (shave that stupid, fucking beard, asshole .... you ain't a throwback to a 1980s Don Johnson) Capus chooses to suspend Shuster and ignore the culture of such sexually juvenile banter that exists under his leadershit .... er .... ship.


Steve Capus - Asshat



What do you think?

1. sacrificial lamb...
easier to suspend a commentator than an anchor.

message sent - schedule still intact.

BTW - Shuster will be back by the march primaries.

5. Ahhhh
but they are the *stars* and Shuster was made to pay because the rest of their locker room line up crosses the line too often. Scapegoat is right.

What he said was vile, but I'll be a little more impressed when they suspend Tweety or Wanker Carlson for the crap they spew.

I will do a little dance (and it won't be pretty) the day that sorry excuse for a human being Carlson is off the air for good.

There must be a reason they keep that wanker around. What does he have on them? It sure isn't for ratings!

7. They're cheap
He still has some time on his contract and they don't want to pay him to sit on the side. So they use him. But rumor has it he's gone when his contract is over.

i ****hope****

8. You are right about the others being sexist shitheads but that doesn't mean
Shuster has to join their ranks and descend to their level. But, I think he's learned a hard lesson, i.e., they're gonna be harder on him because he's fairer. I hope this has shaken him loose from his apparent belief that he could just say whatever and get away with it.

Now it is time to move on. I think Shuster will be fine...the others are hopeless so the hell with them.
