| Newzaroo | Posted – 9/27/2007 11:43:32 PM | show profile As reported by Politico's Anne Schroeder... Looks like MSNBC correspondent David Shuster may have deprived loyal MSNBC viewers of their favorite GOP talking heads- at least for now. This week, the MSNBC reporter "sandbagged" Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) during an interview by asking her to name the last soldier from her district to die in Iraq. After she couldn?t, Shuster named the soldier himself and then scolded the Tennessee Republican for her hypocrisy. But it turns out that the soldier Shuster named- Pvt. Jeremy S. Bohannon, was not from Blackburn?s district after all. The incident landed Shuster in some GOP hot water, and the newsman was forced to make an on-air apology for the incident. But that might not be the end of it, as irked Republican Hillers are now planning a boycott of Shuster?s employer. "We don?t mind skipping MSNBC. No one watches that channel anyway," says a high placed Republican consultant. Word is, a growing number of GOP lawmakers have become mysteriously "unavailable" when asked to appear on MSNBC. Numerous meetings have taken place in both the House and the Senate side regarding the interview and "what to do about it," Hill sources report. One MSNBC producer told a Hill staffer, as relayed to us: "We can?t even get any republican senators!" While other offices immediately declared "absolutely not" when they heard the host was Shuster. "There?s no difference because sending your boss over to David Shuster or the Democratic National Committee at this point," sniffs one high-placed House source. "He thinks acting like a jerk will turn him into a rising star, but he's really just Chris Matthews' schlep," says a high-placed Senate aide. Meanwhile, MSNBC told Shenanigans merely: "David made a factual error and apologized for it." Ah, well, there?s always Tucker Carlson, whom GOP?ers are more comfortable with. "As long as Shuster?s not filling him for him," quips one. |

| DaiatlasZ | Posted – 9/28/2007 2:51:09 AM | show profile To okaforanthony: Rush Limbaugh was talking about Jon Soltz and VoteVets.org. Jon Soltz doesn't speak for all the vets.. He doesn't speak for my Father (Airforce), my Brother(Marine) or me (Airforce). So go ahead and use Media Matter talking points and claim that Rush was attacking every single member of the US Military when he was talking about the Jon Soltz and VoteVets.org. |
| slamp | Posted – 9/28/2007 5:02:15 AM | show profile Hey you atlas, David was talking about one congress woman. He was not speaking for a village. Newsy, if you can dish-it-out, you have to learn how to take it. Isn't your laptop the only friend you have? Now go back to your little friend and start typing your hateful words. |
| flivingston3 | Posted – 9/28/2007 2:26:22 PM | show profile okaforanthony If you think Rush Limbaugh said was about the troops then you obviously do not listen to min. He was talking about the individual who claimed to be an Army Ranger. He has always supported our military. As for David Shuster sandbagging the Congresswoman, well, he should be fired for it but since he is a socialist/communist, he will be promoted. |

Why don't you just go back to reading the post only, because you sound like a naive person. If anybody is interested to read the whole Limby's insult, please go to www.outsidethegeltway.com/archives/2007/09/rush_limbaughs_phony_soldier. Everybody read and decide for yourself. |
