MSNBC has suspended Ed Schultz for one week without pay for calling Laura Ingraham a ‘right-wing slut’ on his radio program Tuesday.

“Remarks of this nature are unacceptable and will not be tolerated,” MSNBC said in a statement Wednesday evening.

Schultz will address the remarks on his television show Wednesday night, and begin his leave immediately afterward, MSNBC said.

The Daily Caller first noted the epithet in the midst of Schultz's critique of Ingraham’s criticisms of the president’s trip to Ireland.

“And what do the Republicans thinking about?” Schultz said. “They’re not thinking about their next-door neighbor. They’re just thinking about how much this is going to cost. President Obama is going to be visiting Joplin, Mo., on Sunday but you know what they’re talking about, like this right-wing slut, what’s her name?, 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.”

Any guesses what color Ed’s face was when he found out?

Would love to see a picture of that.

Will anyone miss him?

Is it just me or when the media normally reports this type of thing it is “the “N” word, or “B!@ch”, or C word. But now that it is Laura they have no problem saying slut. This kind of slut, that kind of slut, here a slut, there a slut all repubs are sluts, sluts..... I have seen and heard her called a slut 30-40 times today. Very odd.

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

Yeah. Just guess how many Ed threads there have been here today...

[dfwgator]

And nobody noticed.

[WilliamofCarmichael]

So where is this leading? What are the "progressives" up to?

Will there now be demands from them to suspend, fire, imprison conservative hosts who utter the slightest criticism of the president or other liberals?

Schultzy’s six viewers will miss him for a week.

I really hope Laura Ingraham takes him to civil court for defamation and slander and sues him and MSNBC for millions of dollars.

Time to stop playing nice and push back HARD
