MSNBC host Ed Schultz, who has repeatedly criticized opponents for owning private jets, owns multiple private jets and conceals his flight data from the public.

Schultz owns Ed Schultz Broadcasting, LLC and has owned at least three Cessnas and one Piper. Schultz has owned two Cessna 560s, which typically sell for more than $5 million per plane. (He sold one plane—tail number N421LT — to Lakin Tire West Incorporated in 2011). Schultz also owns one Cessna 208B which is worth over $1.5 million. He also owns a Piper Cheyenne turboprop, estimated at more than $2 million.

Democrats justify their lifestyles because they FEEL good.

[JennysCool]

Amazing how a complete no-talent can amass that kind of money.

[Mamzelle]

Um, Cessna Citations? These sound like planes, not jets.

[vette6387]

What we need to know is the whereabouts of his government-provided Dacha!

[Hardastarboard]

Look for Sgt. Schultz to claim that the DC threatened his life by revealing the tail numbers of his planes. Or some convoluted silliness like that.

[South40]

If we’re to believe this story we’re to believe that Ed Schultz is a hypocrite. That’s really hard to believe. /s

[ThunderSleeps]

The Citations are little twin jets - very similar to (in the same market segment) as Lear jets.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Stop hating FReepers. We’re supposed to be riding mass transit and look for other ways to reduce our carbon footprint. < /S >

[Mamzelle]

So is this smaller than a Citation, or bigger? I didn’t think there were so many models of “mini” “Personal” jets.

“The Citations are little twin jets - very similar to (in the same market segment) as Lear jets.”

The Lear pilots at our FBO used to call them ‘Slowtations’.

This guy owns multiple private jets based on some show that no one watches? Does he really own them or is this one of those $70k/yr private jet timeshares that lets him take a certain number of flight every year, obviously on different private jets? Or is he just hitching a ride on an NBC private jet?

That’s the great thing about this country and capitalism: Complete morons can make a lot of money as well. Look at Kanye West: He yells gibberish over other peoples records - like what I use to do when I was 5 years old - then calls himself a genius and other morons throw him millions of bucks for it. Look at his wife/girlfriend whatever the hell she is - Kim Kardashian: She does absolutely nothing and makes millions for it. Look at Al Gore .... In 12 short years he’s made a $300 million dollar fortune on promoting the fear that a gas that has a zero point zero percentage in the earths atmosphere is too high, just absolutely the most insane thing you can think of you can make a lot of money on. But liberals still insist capitalism is evil.

I thought that about the Piper until I noticed it's a turboprop. I didn't know Piper made turboprops. BTW, this is a Cessna Citation:

[I want the USA back]

A complete jerk. He deserves no credibility.

[Theoria]

Schultz give populism a bad name.

[diogenes ghost]

"The Lear pilots at our FBO used to call them 'Slotations'."

Is that because there ain't a Lear made that can catch a Citation X?

[CMailBag]

Special Ed is a huge RUSH wannabe.

[Irenic]

Citation X is the fastest civil aircraft in the world.

That’s the Mustang, the smallest.
