You spend enough time on live tv, you're eventually going to dick it up somehow. How is this on a scale of "nappy headed hoes?" Imus was pilloried, and Hillary was using any blowback she could get out of it to play campaign victim again. pfsh.

I'm 49. I must be out of it. I've heard "pimping" used as a verb, but not the meaning "pushing something or someone out into the forefront". The only other transitive use of "to pimp" that I found on the internet was "to decorate" as in "to pimp my ride". I don't think Shuster was saying that the Clintons were decorating Chelsea.

It has meanings out there that those out of touch with a younger culture just don't understand. It refers to pushing something or someone out into the forefront.

Use of this term was extremely nasty--a good [bad] example of the "coarsening of the culture". What was Shuster trying to say by use of this term? That Chelsea was doing this against her will? That Chelsea was doing this for money? A stupid/inaccurate comment. There is no excuse for using such a term with Chelsea.
