Ed Schultz: I bet I could match Glenn Beck (Dream On!)

MSNBC host Ed Schultz says he wasn’t impressed by the crowd Fox's Glenn Beck was able to draw to Washington over the weekend, saying he could “easily” match Beck.

“I could get every union head in this country, I could organize every progressive group in this country, the main bloggers,” Schultz said on his radio show Tuesday. “This could be The Ed March.”

Schultz used NBC News’ projection of 300,000 attendees to Beck’s rally as the baseline he could reach — though CBS and others have placed the number of Beck supporters at less than 100,000.

“Folks, 300,000 people on the heels of six months promotion — that ain't no big shakes,” Schultz said, alluding to Beck’s frequent plugs for the event on his own television and radio shows as well as his website.

[Mr. K]

[stylecouncilor]

Who?

[US Navy Vet]

Bring it on, Fat Boy!

[rhombus]

Ed’s got a bad case of Beck envy.

[Buckeye Battle Cry]

Well by all means sir, please go right ahead and do so.

[steelyourfaith]

He could play center in the NBA, too.

[whitedog57]

He is so FOS. He knows that he will get a Sharpton turnout.

It would be a Peter Brady “Hero” party.

Ed, you don't get to include the voices in your head in the official attendance figure.

[Mr. K]

"I could organize every progressive group in this country"

Are you a 'progressive' Ed? So you are not a fair and balanced Journolist?

Oh yeah? Knock yerself out, Fat Boy!

[windsorknot]

I can’t imagine the mess that an “Ed March (to madness)” would leave behind.

[nutmeg]

Ed, you don't get to include the voices in your head in the official attendance figure.

ROTFL! Well, if his 3 viewers show up, he'll have a crowd of 3. That's a start... ;-)

[J Edgar]

I am now convinced that Ed’s body must manufacture some form of LSD that is released internally on a periodic basis!

[andy58-in-nh]

Make your rally non-political just like Beck’s and see how many people turn out for it, Ed. Of course you can get Progressive organizations funded by $oros’ billions: most of them don’t work for a living. They’re always available to agitate against people who do.

[maggief]

Have at it!

NO RENT-A-MOB’S!!!

[SnakeDoctor]

Haha. Ed can’t even get 300,000 people to turn the TV to his show ... much less fly to Washington DC.

Given Ed's girth, he could probably count as three of them.
