  1. How timely – perhaps this Suffolk University Poll of a couple of days ago is the bur under Ed Schultz butt.

    Undecided beats Soros favorite MSNBC?
    The news wasn’t so good for MSNBC which finished a distant third to its cable news brethren with just 7% of respondents saying that they trusted the liberal cable news network.]

  2. Reaction: Gasp and slight swoon.
    Can’t believe it.
    Now what does our Laura do?
    Can someone call you a slut on TV and pay no consequences???

  3. Eddy you have no idea what payback is coming your way. She will BBQ him. She has brains, him. Not so many.

  4. Laura Ingraham? Yeah, she’s a talk slut. You see, she was, back in the day, praising President Reagan when he was drinking a beer overseas. But now that Obama’s doing it, they’re working him over.”
    ~Ed Schultz
    What were the particular crises that were occuring when Presidents Reagan and Clinton were drinking beer in Ireland?
    No crises were happening at those times?
    Gee wiz.
    Laura Ingraham was criticizing Obama for shirking work again, not drinking a beer.
    Of course Ed Schultz misses the point and tries to deflect the issue from Obama’s fecklessness and create an new issue about drinking beer and his own boorish name calling.

  5. It seems to me that Mr.Shultz is the media whore (or slut) considering this publicity stunt.
    Isn’t “slut” a compliment in the Progressive sphere?

  6. An angry fat jerk trashing an attractive, intelligent woman who’s out of his league. It’s the same old nasty story, using a political angle.

  7. I found it curious (if not hypocritical) that, after the tornado ripped through Joplin, Obama said, “We’re with you…” Quite a trick. He was in Ireland at the time.
    All that was lost on Schultz, of course.

    That’s funny! Sad and regrettable, but funny!

  9. Ya know, pounding the left for using pussy PC language loses some efficacy when you use it yourself. Or maybe I’m just missing an intentional ironic joke.

  10. When Schultz resorts to calling is superiors ‘sluts’ you know he frightened, his side is losing, he sees the wall coming and he can’t deal with it.
    What he did in calling someone with as much integrity as Laura Ingram a slut, was tell us that it is he who is the slut.
    Laura will laugh this off because compared the Schultz, she is a giant.

  11. Hey wait, isn’t “slut” the cool thing to be now? They have SlutWalks all over the place, sluts are IN.
    Schultzy is just being “hip” and “with it”.
    Personally I’ve never had a problem with sluts. They’re great to hang out with as long as you don’t try to take ’em out to a fancy dinner. Or let them balance your check book.

  12. If someone called me a slut publicly they’d be talking to my lawyer, he should be fired period. The left keep telling us we have no class and we’re confrontational yet they constantly call conservative women sluts and other nasty names.

    JMO Yes!

  14. Big Ed, fat, arrogant, stupid in one big slovenly package and those are his good points. How convenient for Ed the moron Schultz. Ed couldn’t buy ratings on America Left or Mslsd. He is trying to be sooo important, and no one, left or right give a flying rip about anything he says.

  15. This is garden variety progressivism. Didn’t other progressives use precisely the same approach on Sarah Palin, who they knew they could not beat, and so resorted to nasty smears, such as the one the repellent Andrew Sullivan repeated endlessly.
    This is Obama’s base, and notice Obama in fact encourages the no holds barred approach.

  16. Twenty bucks for him to put on tight shorts and heels and show up to a slut walk for research.

  17. I guess Schultz’s apology is not as titillating as his original remarks hence the paucity of post-apology comments on this thread. Anyways here’s my comment: Astounding! Great start Mr. Schultz, you are setting a fine example for your liberal colleagues. In fact you’re demonstrating a standard for us all.

  18. His apology seems as sincere as a man can offer. He sounded as if he feels the shame he should after such commentary. I would be willing to accept the truth of his sincerity at face value as he has not demonstrated a pattern of such comments.

  19. “His apology seems as sincere as a man can offer.”
    Yes, he seemed very sorry to have been suspended for a week, quite happy to apologize (crawl and beg forgiveness really) if that’s what it takes to get back on the air, and still thinks Laura Ingram is a slut but only inside his head now.
    Moment of actual candor followed by frantic @ss covering, sincere only in its fran-ticity if I may coin such a word.
    I hope Laura Ingram’s husband gets to SMACK this guy some day. In public!

  20. Don’t know much about Schultz, but he did apologize (a little too much I thought) and it is time to move on. Besides, we all do stuff like that right here on this blog all the time (and are sometimes castigated for it).

  21. Some years ago I wrote a country and western song entitled, “I Met That Girl In Tulsa, and Tulsa’s Just ‘A Slut’ Spelled Backward”. For some reason (quality, perhaps) it was never recorded or released, which I always thought was a shame. It would have ensured that I could never dare set foot in Tulsa, of course, but I bet I’d be a huge star in Oklahoma City.
