I agree with Mark H…. Shuster used the terminology within the proper context and, in my opinion, did nothing wrong at all.

I’m a sub-contractor and I talk about my contracting clients pimping me out to various end clients. My context is that someone else is pushing me out to someone else for their own benefit.

The term has become somewhat innocuous through overuse. It’s not really a street term anymore (hell, my parents use it!), it just a phrase that accurately indicates the exploitation, however mild, of one person for another persons benefit. Within this context, the Clintons are pimping out Chelsea (sending her out to their “clients” for their own benefit).

As I see it, Shuster’s the victim of a particularly vicious Clinton campaign manipulating an overly PC culture for their own benefit.
