MSNBC anchor David Shuster continued his outspoken disdain for anyone that supports traditional marriage. Directly after Donald Trump announced Miss California Carrie Prejean could keep her title on May 12, Shuster asked "Can I vomit?"
In a typical rant, Shuster repeated his criticism of Prejean:
"Can I vomit right now? I mean, literally. Can I vomit?" Shuster said. "Doesn't this represent everything that is wrong with the superficial nature of these pageants? I mean, she talked about how women can make a difference in the world. She lied. She avoided taking personal responsibility. She blamed others whether it's Perez Hilton or the photographer."
During Trump's press conference Shuster commented on his Twitter page, "Prejean, who got cosmetic surgery before the pageant, just spoke of ‘how women can make a difference in the world.' Absolutely revolting."
Apparently Prejean's cosmetic surgery disqualified her from having an opinion. Shuster has not gone after celebrities that are for gay marriage such as Kathy Griffin. She had plastic surgery, common in Hollywood, but is not held up to the same standard by the hypocritical MSNBC host.
This comes after Shuster proclaimed his support for gossip blogger Perez Hilton's hateful rant that followed Prejean's answer at the Miss USA competition April 30 on Twitter as, "Your view of Miss CA's intellect (and lack thereof) is spot on."
Later in the segment anchor Contessa Brewer said "this is a great jumping off point for a conversation about same-sex marriage, about hypocrisy."
Shuster responded with his usual disregard for anyone that has an opinion different from his, "The only jumping off point is jumping off a cliff if you really believe that people at these pageants have anything worthwhile to say to the rest of us. If you really believe that, than that's your jumping off point and I suggest you jump off the cliff because this is as superficial as you will ever see. It's ridiculous. It's crazy."
Pageant owner Donald Trump defended Prejean and said that her view on traditional marriage is the same as President Obama's. This did not stop Shuster's effort to discredit her.
Shuster has also attacked traditional marriage advocate Brian Brown from the National Organization of Marriage and snidely thanked Joe the Plumber for a "lesson in tolerance," because he also opposes gay marriage.

Can you vomit? Sure,
May 12, 2009 - 14:48 ET by motherbeltCan you vomit?
Sure, David; in fact I wish you would.
It would do my heart good to know that this upset you that much!
Why don't you just admit it: this was NEVER about the photos. This was ALWAYS about her stance on gay marriage! But they were all too chicken to go that route, so they had to find another way.
I heard her statement. I am SO glad she pointed out that her opinion is the same as President Obama's, Hillary Clinton's and most of the American people.
I hope Perez Hilton is nauseous too!

OH, and David, if it's so
May 12, 2009 - 14:50 ET by motherbeltOH, and David, if it's so superficial and nobody cares, then why was such a big deal made about this woman's politically incorrect opinion, and why, especially, did Perez Hilton claim that she was unworthy of the crown because of it?

May 12, 2009 - 15:18 ET by QueenMummb: Yesterday (edit) I think we agreed that Prejean should voluntarily give up her Miss California crown, walk away with her dignity, and put an end to the circus. Do you still feel that way given Trump's decision. In light of statements such as Shuster's, would it still seem like a good idea?

Correct me if I am wrong...but wouldn't THAT be a sign of how truley superficial these pagents are??

Predictable Misogynistic Rhetoric
May 12, 2009 - 15:03 ET by OneCleverCookieMr. Shuster repeatedly denegrates women, i.e. Chelsea Clinton, Carrie Prejean. I would also bet the farm you could find several other incidents where Mr. Shuster diplays demeaning, dismissive and condesending rehetoric involving women. Especially strong women!
Certainly seems to me that Mr. Shuster is in lock step with Perez Hilton in their attitude and treatment of women who dare to disagree with them on their Progressive agenda.
Hmmmm....
May 12, 2009 - 20:24 ET by GecksDo we suspect that he may be leaning towards the feminine side and is jealous that he can't compete?

Miss California's views
May 12, 2009 - 15:36 ET by pcantidoteMiss California's views represent her state very well seeing as how Californians just voted against gay marriage. This is by far the most relevant point in this whole issue. Why would we expect Miss California to have views that are not in line with the citizens of the State? Answer that Shuster and fellow liberal slime.

Perhaps I'm being naive,
May 12, 2009 - 15:42 ET by JasonCPerhaps I'm being naive, but Shuster's commentary here doesn't allude to the gay marriage issue. It seems more to be about the circus that has developed around Prejean and the discord between beauty pageant culture, feminine empowerment rhetoric, self-professed Christian values, and cosmetic surgery.
just stop Jason
May 12, 2009 - 15:55 ET by candanceYou are pretending to be naive. Shuster publicly took Hilton's side and attacked Prejean more than once. As far as this circus that has developed 'around' her, you wouldn't even know her name if Hilton hadn't started a circus to discredit her, which Shuster willingly jumped into and continues to obsess about on his personal twitter page.

I can't say I've ever found
May 12, 2009 - 18:12 ET by JasonCI can't say I've ever found Prejean "impressive", but the line of questioning used by that idiot Hilton and the hubbub that evolved out of it was certainly unfair, I'll agree with that. However, the main focus of this article and the various posts in response to it focus on the gay marriage issue and Prop 8, and that simply doesn't line up with what Shuster is quoted as saying here.
um no
May 12, 2009 - 19:18 ET by candanceThe focus is that Shuster only feels that way because of the fact that he dislikes her.
Shuster and Hilton don't
May 12, 2009 - 15:52 ET by TOEShuster and Hilton don't hate Ms California...

And Pervez had admitted to this...

Since MSNBC is a sister program of NBC, should they be criticizing programs on NBC? Report him to Donald!!!!

The hypocrisy
May 12, 2009 - 17:18 ET by Galvanic"Can I vomit right now? I mean, literally. Can I vomit?" Shuster said.
Go right ahead. In fact, it you vomited atthe start of every show, it might improve your ratings.
"She avoided taking personal responsibility."
For her honest answer? Actually, she's never backed off her answer.
The contestant gave the same answer that Obama nad Hillary Clinton have proclaimed, and she's stuck by it.
Obama & Clinton are hailed as intellectuals. Ms. Prejean is demeaned as an idiot, a bigot, and far worse.
As for Trump, he's been consistent on his handling of Miss USA controversies in that he sides with the contestant.
She blamed others whether it's Perez Hilton or the photographer."

If she says something YOU don't like, you treat her like she's trash, a whore, a lying b!tch, someone to be avoided.
