He only called her daughter a whore
In reaction to Hillary’s response to being accused of pimping out Chelsea, Greg Sargent had this to say:
This is really something. The Hillary campaign has just gone to war with MSNBC, dispatching a top Hillary adviser to launch a lacerating attack on the network on a conference call with reporters moments ago.
and:
Though Shuster apologized this morning, the Hillary campaign has clearly decided to seize upon the opportunity to launch a major attack on the network. A few weeks ago Chris Matthews publicly apologized to Hillary after suggesting that her whole Senate career and presidential candidacy was made possible only because of Bill’s shenanigans in the White House.
and in case you didn’t get the point:
That he would effectively rule out future debate appearances for the time being strongly suggests that the Hillary campaign discussed this in some detail beforehand and decided to launch this broadside against the network. It also suggests that the Hillary camp sees the potential for political gain in drawing media attention to negative and sexist comments made on MSNBC about her and her daughter.
Utterly despicable of Hillary, eh? Shuster only called her daughter a whore for doing exactly what Barbara and Jenna Bush did for their father - publicly supporting her mother in her bid for the highest office in the land.
What you’ve got to love though is that Sargent seems to be shocked that a woman who’s been the subject of sexist attacks for over a decade now would appear to have a plan for dealing with sexist attacks - especially against her own daughter.
What’s the world coming to when you can’t expect a mother to be silent when her daughter’s called a whore on public television, especially one that’s rich, powerful and a serious contender for the oval office? For shame, eh?

I’m not a H. Clinton fan, but …
“Utterly despicable of Hillary, eh? Shuster only called her daughter a whore for during exactly what Barbara and Jenna Bush did for their father - publicly supporting her mother in her bid for the highest office in the land.”
I believe that should read
“Utterly despicable of Hillary, eh? Shuster only called her daughter a whore for [doing] exactly what Barbara and Jenna Bush did for their father - publicly supporting her mother in her bid for the highest office in the land.”
Excellent point!
