Sorry, I forgot to put my (sarc) button on.
Ed Schultz (sp?) won't last long. Not because he's a lefty but because he is just plain stupid.
Schultz was on in the evening on a local AM outlet where I could hear his stuff, a few years ago. He's a rah-rah, hearty-headbashing union guy. He comes across like a shop steward from years ago, with hints of butchness. He was obviously the left's answer for, or imitation of, Rush.
The problem with Schultz's act is that it's hard to believe anymore in a struggling brotherhood of union organizers trying to stand up to the Four Hundred and their Pinkerton goon squads, when you have the Clintons, their political machine, and their body trail so prominent in public life, and Mob lizards with their paws all over union funds and leaders. The Teamsters? Oh, yeah -- Tony Pro and da guyz dat disappeared Hoffa -- you godda prollem widdat? The UMW? Yeah, Tony Boyle and a very dead Jock Yablonski.
Schultz won't play because his prototype disappeared with the Teamsters' retirement funds and Jimmy Hoffa.
