NBC’s Today Trumpets the “Liberals' Answer to Rush Limbaugh” (Blowhard Ed Schultz)

Blowhard Ed Schultz won't last. First of all, he ONLY pretended to become a liberal for the $$$$$. When he saw that he wasn't cutting it in the dinero department as a conservative, he knew the Democrats were so desperate that they would PAY for a "liberal" (remember, Blowhard Ed is only faking it) radio talk host. The problem is that you can only carry out this fraud for only a brief time. If you don't really believe in liberalism, you will soon lose your audience. The other factor that will knock out Blowhard Ed is that a TRUE (but very wacky) liberal is going national in a few weeks---Randi ("I believe OJ is innocent") Rhodes. Yes, Randi is a mental case (to put it mildly) but since she is really a true believer in the Left (unlike the parasitic Blowhard Ed who is faking it strictly for the money) she will be the one to gain the attention. Plus Randi has some REAL markets she will be airing on such as NY, Chi-Town, Miami etc. while Blowhard Ed is doomed to go not further than Needles, CA.

BTW, the fact that Randi Rhodes is going national is actually GOOD NEWS for conservatives. When you hear her show, you'll know why. Randi is so wacky that even the Democrats will be embarrassed by her.

The problem with liberals is that they feel so superior. They know they can't explain their reasoning, becuase the little people will never quite understand. I know I tried to listen too their arguments and have failed to understand their logic almost every single time. I have never heard a strongly presented case for being a Liberal.

[NotchJohnson]

That is a brilliant idea to pretend to be a liberal. It's easy and they are desperate. The fact that there is a liberal show and how it will shake up radio will be the focus, while actually listening to the show will be non existant. Radio shows are 3 hours, many times in the day so people have to make an effort to tune in.

I've actually had the unfortunate experience of hearing Miss Rhodes. I listen to Rush over the Internet from a local AM station and she is on right after him.

I'd never heard of her before, so I figured if she was on after Rush, she'd be conservative also, Boy! Was I wrong! I couldn't believe the stuff that was coming out of her mouth. She is definitely of the "kooky" brand of liberalism.

I recommend that you try to listen to her for a bit, you'll be blown away.

BOORRRRRRRRRRING

Blowhard Ed is nothing more than a CHARLATAN and a FRAUD. He just saw some easy money and went on to con the Democrats by pretending to be a Liberal. Blowhard Ed's philosophy is nothing more than that of a cheap con man. If he somehow thought he could make more money now as a conservative, he would IMMEDIATELY put on a fake conservative act. Anything that will put money into that fraud's pockets. Blowhard Ed is nothing more than a broadcast ho'.

I couldn't believe the stuff that was coming out of her mouth. She is definitely of the "kooky" brand of liberalism.

Which is why Randi will be GOOD for conservatives. She is so WACKY that Randi will do much to further discredit the Left. However, in contrast to that Broadcast Ho', Blowhard Ed, Randi is a True Believer.

Katie Couric - national spokes-whore for proctological exams. Sorry.

[sharpink]

I remember this story except they were talking about:
Jim Hightower
Bill Clinton
Ed Koch
and that Stuart Smally guy...
Lefties never last because they cannot condescend to talk to people in flyover country for long.

"Shaking up the industry"? No, stirring up the fecal matter. Another voice to add to the chorus of Kerry ka-ka.

I love Ed on Crank Yankers! "I got mail, yaaaaay! I got mail, yaaaay!" It's so cool that he got his own radio show.

Seriously though, he's a total sellout, but he couldn't have hustled a more deserving bunch of investors.

Here's some more inside info on Ed Schultz, from a blogger who has some local North Dakota history about him

[fish hawk]

There is no "answer" to Rush Limbaugh. He da man!!

[lilylangtree]

Trashy liberal left eliticism. No thanks!

[per loin]

He explains the whole gig with his sandwich story: plain baloney!

Couric pimping Scultz:
trying to prop up a rope with a rubber band - the Left is really pathetic...

[NewHampshireDuo]

In retrospect this will be really funny when even the lib funders can't support him any longer.
