MSNBC suspends Schultz for calling Ingraham a 'slut'
Politico ^ | 5/25/11 | Keach Hagey

Posted on 05/25/2011 4:21:43 PM PDT by Nachum

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.”

The words “Ed Schultz” and “ratings bonanza” do not belong in the same sentence. He’s going down the drain like the rest of the MSNBC loony left.

Yawn.

I was initially suprised by him being disciplined at all, but then I saw the feminist outcry. That's the way the system works when the vain are in charge: they only act when one of their own complains.

As far as Ms. Ingraham is concerned: the way she acts is so unlike a slut, Shultz was nagging her. No, I'm not trying to be cute.

That may explain why Neal Boortz is good friends with him.

Schultz is acting out, because he wishes he were brave enough to dress up like a slut and try to pick up men.

"And what do the Republicans thinking about?"

MSNBC should tack on another week's suspension for his bad grammar.

So Schultz gets a week-long unpaid vacation.....and meanwhile every rabid leftist journalist and new media whore will applaud him and consider him a martyr for their cause.

Whoopee.

Compare and contrast this with the brouhaha caused by a Toronto cop advising women not to dress like sluts to help prevent sexual assault. Now, we have the phenomenon of “slut walks” breaking out around the world. The cop never called anyone a slut — he just advised against dressing like one.

Soooooo....if Laura Ingraham is a “right-wing slut”, I guess that makes Ed Schultz a “Left-wing Butt Pimp”

How about a “Colonoscopy Poster Boy”?

“Rectal-Cranial Inversion Candidate”?

Just sayin...

Poor little Eddie. He just doesn’t know how to be civil. PMSNBC should send him down to Deputy Dipstik’s jail in Pima County, Arizona so he can be taught a lesson.

Schultz comments made a local mid-day talk show in So-CA, hosted by a woman. She was outraged. I'm sure her's wasn't the only show to highlight his asinine commends.

I like Mark Levin's nickname for that channel: MSLSD.

I am happy to say that I have never seen PMSNBC, but I gather it is a Communist version of Mad Magazine, and not worth
dog excrement.

They should let her here some of Bill Mahers comments about women. She’d love them, I am sure. /s

Please . . . the idiot wanted a week’s vacation . . . and in order to hold the 55 viewers he has, they had to boost his ratings by “putting him on leave.” Those 55 viewers will tell 55 viewers and then his ratings will go up to 59 viewers.

It’s good Schultz was suspended, and I hope Laura I. can brush of the comments of a constipated gerbil like Schultz.
