With 2015 only a couple of weeks away, Ed Schultz just managed to sneak under the wire in the race for Most Inane Question of the Year by an MSNBC Host. Speaking to Valerie Plame's husband Joe Wilson on the The Ed Show this evening, Schultz suggested: "Your wife was outed by the Vice-President and now he's saying he has no problem with torture. How do you feel about that? I mean isn't it torture what your family went through?"

Wilson wasn't wacky enough to bite on Ed's bait, but in other comments made clear that he would like to see Cheney prosecuted in international and/or domestic courts.

There’s surely a lot of competition for the honor, but did Ed Schultz just ask the dumbest MSNBC question of the year? Ping to Today show list.

What a complete fool.

[Ouderkirk]

Shultz is such a demented moron

Impossible. Al Sharpton wins hands down.

[Uncle Miltie]

Didn’t fast eddie shoot his dog and beat his ex-wife Maureen?

We have to remember that Valerie was a CIA employee who only wanted to remain low profile and out of the public eye and was not seeking publicity at all:

And if you believe that; you've been gruberred

Another ‘Fake but Accurate’ liberal dream.

With the 2008 CNN report that the U.S. secretly shipped 500 metric tons of yellow cake uranium from Iraq to Canada, 500 tons of uranium shipped from Iraq, Pentagon says

that pretty much proves that Jack Wilson was a FRACKIN' liar in his N.Y Times OpEd article where he claimed that Cheney OK'd his mission to Niger to find out if Hussein had purchased such uranium.

And upon his return, he stated that Hussein NEVER purchased any such uranium. That report itself was rebutted by the Niger officials he met with but nobody listened............

Thus began the 3 year Bush bashing investigation into who outed Valerie Plame as being a covert CIA agent...........Which by the way, has never been substantiated.

Bingo!

[RightOnTheBorder]

Valerie Plame as being a covert CIA agent

IIRC she was so covert that she walked in the front door at Langley for work. I guess she was hiding in plain sight.

Sure it’s not 3 out of 4?

I thought it was determined that the person who mentioned Valerie Plame was Richard Armitage the deputy Secretary of State.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Special Ed is still around? I guess they can’t find any “paid advertisement” program to fill his spot yet.

[Truth29]

"I thought it was determined that the person who mentioned Valerie Plame was Richard Armitage the deputy Secretary of State."

He was, but the mass media has erased that inconvenient fact. It didn't fit the evil Republicans meme.

Tune in to MSNBC and see the torture of reason and common sense on a daily basis.
