What a difference 48 hours makes in the barren wasteland known as Ed Schultz's mind.
Back on May 29, Schultz warned of giant flaming acorns falling from the sky if Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker prevailed in a June 5 recall election against Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett, who was defeated by Walker in the 2010 gubernatorial race. (audio clips after page break)
sounding the alarm that a Walker victory could foreshadow President Obama's defeat in November, which in turn would usher in an era of permanent GOP control of the White House (audio) --
They are trying to set it up that if Mitt Romney gets elected, if Mitt Romney gets elected, there will never be a Democratic president again in the history of the United States. The future is just, this is the way it's going to be. There'll never be a Democratic president in our lifetime again. And when I say in our lifetime, I'm talking about long, long, long, long, long time.
This is why Wisconsin's so important. The people of the country need to know that you can defeat it. And this in many respects is doing the country a favor, the way they're operating, the way they're lying, the way they're backing up the worst candidate, the worst governor in the country, his record's horrendous, and who he's a puppet to.
So that's why this is so important. They're trying to make it so Barack Obama doesn't get re-elected and no Democrat ever will be elected into the White House.
"This is why Wisconsin's so important" -- Walker wins, Obama in turn loses, and it's the end of the world as we know it.
Two days later, Schultz was crooning a different tune. More accurately, he was part of a liberal chorus singing the same line, that of Walker winning in Wisconsin hardly mattering at all. Silly you, why would you have ever thought otherwise? (audio)
I get a kick out of the Twitter world 'cause they're working me over saying, oh, it's going to be fun to watch Eddie, he'll be crying in his beer, whatever. No I'm not! No, no, there's no downside about this recall any way, shape or form. Obviously we want Walker to be thrown out because he's a radical and he's not good for America. But look at the other side. They are throwing millions of dollars at a guy who is on the verge of being indicted for a felony. Now, how are they going to feel, win lose or draw, when this happens?
Two years into a fishing expedition by a partisan district attorney whose office is filled with like-minded Democrats, who'd think an indictment of Walker would have happened by now. Rest assured, if it never does, Schultz will claim "no downside" to that either. Whatever it takes for Schultz to save face, regardless of the contortions that ensue.
If I were Ed’s dog, I’d be concerned that I might get shot like the previous pup was.
“What a difference 48 hours makes in the barren wasteland known as Ed Schultz’s mind.”
Now that’s funny!
“never be another Democratic president again.....”
He makes it sound like that would be a bad thing;)
That nut in the upper left is racist!
Every time I hear this guy’s name the one thought that keeps going through my mind is the famous Sgt Schultz line:”I know nothing”
Now I know what “beady-eyed” looks like. He can watch his right ear with this left eye and his left ear with his right eye. Impressive.

Doubtful his lifetime is all that long.
Pray for America
I’m not up to speed on the 4 GOP senators up for recall, does anybody have any opinion on that? (we need all 4 to retain control of the WI senate)
Please, oh please, DNC, keep people like Schultz and Pelosi up front. Please do.
I’m only dimly aware of who Ed Schultz is. Now correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t he one of those rare things known as a half-way successful, liberal talk radio host? And isn’t he successful only because he pretended to be a Republican at one time? Now I’d think that someone like that would hope that Romney wins in November. The last thing he wants is another out-of-work, cryptoliberal Republican looking for a talk radio gig.
Wouldn’t it be great if he was right and we never did have another Democratic President?
“They are trying to set it up that if Mitt Romney gets elected, if Mitt Romney gets elected, there will never be a Democratic president again in the history of the United States.

And when I say in our lifetime, I’m talking about long, long, long, long, long time.”
I can’t help but laugh at this for different reasons than others. I happen to seriously think that IF Romney gets elected the chances of there ever being a “conservative” GOP POTUS in my lifetime become non-existent. Of course, I don’t want Obama reelected. Boy it really sucks to be a conservative Republican right now that cannot stand GOPe nominees. Especially since Obama is so venerable...why waste this election on a poser like Romney.
Dems don’t need to be afraid of Romney....conservative Republicans do.
Yes it would.
Waangard in southeastern wi seen as most vulnerable, but in interviews today seemed very confident. We shall see.
There is no way I’m missing MSNBC tomorrow night.
