AN MSNBC APOLOGY TO THE CLINTONS
In case there was any doubt, using a prostitution metaphor for the daughter of a presidential candidate is not a good career move.
MSNBC suspended correspondent David Shuster on Friday for suggesting, on air, that the Clinton campaign had "pimped out" 27-year-old Chelsea by having her place phone calls to celebrities and Democratic Party superdelegates on her mother's behalf.

"With [Mitt] Romney gone, the chances of a brokered convention are nearly zero," Paul wrote. "But that does not affect my determination to fight on, in every caucus and primary remaining, and at the convention, for our ideas."
