'Peak Bergdahl': David Shuster now part of the vast right wing conspiracy

Obama supporters are on hair trigger alert over the whole Bergdahl fiasco. Even the loyal lefty David Shuster is taking flak.

.@AmbassadorRice You said on a Sunday show that Sgt. Bergdahl served the US with "honor and distinction." How so?

Misspeak?

Oh did I say he served with honor and distinction? I meant to say he renounced his citizenship and went AWOL.

Easy mistake to make.

.@Dave_Dial A reporter can't ask the WH and @AmbassadorRice for a clarification without "being part of a right wing drum beat?" Really?

Well, real questions happen so seldom they catch some people off guard.

But back off and see if maybe there’s a YouTube video we can blame.

How about we just say this? Ambassador Rice acted stupidly.
