Gaff Prompts GOP Boycott of MSNBC
MSNBC correspondent David Shuster tries to cold bust Tennessee Republican Rep. Marsha Blackburn by asking her to name the last soldier in her district to die in Iraq. When she can't, he does but names a guy who wasn't actually in Blackburn's district. The gaff prompts an on-air apology and an unofficial Republican boycott of MSNBC, and pretty much ruins a great journo-trick (any congress member with half a brain is now being briefed on the last soldiers or Marines in their district to die in Iraq).
