I have long held MSNBC host Ed Schultz's erratic behavior stems from his political and professional status, envy at those whose careers surpass his. As David Swindle noted in the roll-out of this series, "Bens posts on Schultz are collected and all future articles will be collected here under the series name 'Genius Envy' a play on a well-known Freudian term." I came up with the name "Genius Envy" to highlight the way much of Ed's incendiary rhetoric seems to be rooted in his offended masculinity. I was gratified to see my thesis was proven correct in less than a week. Last Thursday Schultz, the poor mind's Rush Limbaugh, wanted to compare his manhood with Bill O'Reilly and Dennis Miller.
He began by ripping "[f]ailed comedian and sportscaster Dennis Miller" over a joke he made at the WWE Slammy Awards, then criticized Bill O'Reilly for his reaction to the skit on The O'Reilly Factor. Ed crowed, "O'Reilly condone[d] that despicable display of unapologetic sexism," and criticized O'Reilly for donating $25,000 to Miller's favorite charity at Christmastime (!).

The program director said essentially, "We couldn't sell advertising during his time slot, and in radio, that's the kiss of death".
So in other words, Ed can't make it it in his home town. He's a loser.
There we go with the kunckle-dragging nonsense.
Boy, these liberals are so brilliant that it defies the imagination. They’re so smart, so bright, so all-knowing, and just so amazing.
(A bunch a maroons.)

“Eds massive ego cant compete with Bills!”
One of mankind’s least noble acts is self praise, and the master of that ignoble habit is O’Reilly. I cannot stand to watch him and cannot understand his ratings at FOX.
Well, compared to Rachel Maddow....
There’s something seriously wrong with this man. Is this the only way he can get attention?
Ed Schultz knows as much about manhood as Al Gore knows about climate...and they both have that over-inflated facial appearance wherein their features all run together.
liberals think you have to be gay to be a REAL man?
wow, just wow.
Bring back the asylums
MSNBC barely qualifies as news.
As if a liberal would have a clue what a man is.
