How I Define The Word Coward

Good Ole Webster defines the word coward as "a person who shows a shameful lack of courage or fortitude". Not a very good definition is it. I have a better one. David Shuster, the tight lipped,  soft looking, talking head  on NBC News. The other day Shuster was "temporarily suspended" from NBC due to a comment he made concerning of all people, Chelsea Clinton. Shuster "took on" the 27 year old daughter of Hillary and Bill by saying that she was being "Pimped Out" by her parents to drum up the support of Superdelegates for her mom. This soft looking, poor excuse of a man, has the audacity to attack a decent young woman by using a term that often describes the selling of a woman for unlawful sexual activities. I don't think the likes of Shuster would dare to describe Oprah's volunteer work for Obama as "Pimping Out" do you? Can you imagine the uproar that would create? I dare say that Shuster would receive a harsher treatment from his fellow cowards at NBC than a temporary suspension.

Dear Miles,

Imus lives on. This David Shuster dude should be fired. This comment is not only totally inappropriate, but also egregious and maleficent in nature. This pejorative word demeans an innocent youth. This is JUST WRONG on so many levels.

Yes, Your Purpleness! I agree. Seems to me that the level of rancor is way off the charts. It also seems to me that it's almost impossible to get news that's not biased by either right or left. Especially on TV.
