Hillary puts network in its place

Hillary's Clinton's letter to Steve Capus, NBC News president,
in response to MSNBC's reporter's comment about Chelsey
Clinton's involvement in her campaign:

Dear Mr. Capus,

Thank you for your call yesterday. I wanted to send you this
note to convey the depth of my feeling about David Shuster's
comments.

I know that I am a public figure and that my daughter is playing
a public role in my campaign. I am accustomed to criticism,
certainly from MSNBC. I know that it goes with the territory.

However, I became Chelsea's mother long before I ran for any
office and I will always be a mom first and a public official second.

Nothing justifies the kind of debasing language that David Shuster
used and NO TEMPORARY SUSPENSION OR HALF HEARTED
APOLOGY IS SUFFICIENT.*

I would urge you to look at the pattern of behavior on your network
that seems to repeatedly lead to this sort of degrading language.

There's a lot at stake for our country in this election. Surely, you
can do your jobs as journalists and commentators and still keep
the discourse civil and appropriate.

Sincerely,

Hillary Rodham Clinton

Needless to say, Schuster's career with MSNBC is over.
Is this the beginning of the end for (Bill and) Hillary, or the
end of a civil beginning? What could be more delicious
than seeing her broom on fire, eh, Mr Kriz?
