    Thin Skin

    Posted Monday, February 11, 2008 2:37 PM | By Emily Yoffe
    Fascinating post, Dan. It would have been fine if Hillary said the "pimped out" remark was contemptible, Shuster apologized, and everyone moved on. But I agree that it is discomforting when the person who wants to be president demands someone be fired for an offensive comment. And does Hillary really want to be delivering the message that we can expect her administration to respond with thin-skinned victimization to ill-considered remarks? I believe Hillary was genuinely offended, but she is also pushing this so hard because she thinks it will somehow play well. How exhausting. Especially when you compare it to how gracefully Obama has brushed off the racial insinuations in this campaign.
