If it's a non-issue he should not have said it. That is illogical, if it's a non-issue, why NOT say it? That Hill has pounced on it makes her look desperate and out of touch with young'ns; which may be why Obama rocks their world.

That would be almost as good as seeing one in Congress sometime.

Another example of real issues being denied in favor of silliness. And the silliness extends to this blog.

We need you guys wrapped up in your underwear for awhile longe so that we can get our national campaign up and running.

So for that, thanks Schuster.

In general, MSNBC's coverage of McCain and Obama has been adoring, while they have been hypercritical of the Clintons.

1. “youth” = appealing to Obama's youth groupies

2. Reduces the likelihood or at least the number of future Clinton-campaign racist shots at Obama as an alternative [scowl]

Particularly given their character and their track record.

The whole overreaction to this statement (far worse, more ridiculous than to Limbaugh's cheap shot at Chealsea many years ago) makes not the Clintons but the other whiners the real (and really pathetic) story here.

I agree with Joe that the question was dumb, but I think what was really bothering Shuster was that Chelsea had been fiercely protected for years from the media (which I think is great and an excellent decision by Bill and Hillary) but now that Chelsea was actively campaigning she should be available for more scrutiny, but she is still being protected. if Chelsea is going to take a high profile role (by campaigning to get younger voters) and powerful position in the campaign (I think calling super delegates is pretty powerful- you just don't let anyone call the movers and shakers on your behalf) then I think she should be open to more media scrutiny. I think it's fine that Chelsea campaigns for her mother.

As Joe mentioned, Hillary is now the victim- that' s how Hillary is spinning it and the perpetrator is a man, picking on her child. Of course Hillary is going to use that moment to her benefit and think of all the free coverage she gets that she doesn't have to pay for.

Bottom line for me: yeah, the comment was unseemly but Hillary has blown it out of proportion and deftly used it for her benefit. Because Chelsea is now actively campaigning for her mother in the way that she is (calling super delegates / campaigning for younger voters) then she should be available to the media. Chelsea is an intelligent young woman who is still being overly protected by her mother.
