WTH/ BREAKING: MSNBC Suspends Ed Schultz Over ‘Unacceptable’ Remarks
   
MSNBC has announced that Ed Schultz will be given a one week suspension without pay for “unacceptable” comments Schultz made, calling Laura Ingraham a “right wing slut,” and then, in a second comment, a “talk slut.”

The comments were not made on Schultz’s MSNBC program, The Ed Show, but on his syndicated radio show. Still MSNBC has released a statement late Wednesday:

MSNBC management met with Ed Schultz this afternoon and accepted his offer to take one week of unpaid leave for the remarks he made yesterday on his radio program. Ed will address these remarks on his show tonight, and immediately following begin his leave. Remarks of this nature are unacceptable and will not be tolerated.

Republicans NEVER apologize for what they say. I can't recall ever hearing an apology from a Republican talk show host like, Limbaugh any of them. Is it just me?

WTF do Democrats get nailed for this stuff, and Republicans never do? I might be wrong, and please provide to me a situation where a Republican, like Limbaugh, Beck, Hannity, O'Reilly, Coulter ..or any of them apologized for anything they said, even if it was racist...

So what are you putting up for that bet ? Because Ima gonna win...

Well DUmp monkeys, it could be that Rush, Hannity, etc have never said anything that required an apology.
Granted they say things everyday that you goons hate, they have never said anything like Sgt Schultz said.

Poll question: When was the last time you heard a Republican apologize?
   
Okay, we all mistakes. Most of us will apologize for them, but when was the last time you heard someone like Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Ann Coulter, Bill O'Reilly, Glen Beck, Michael Savage, or any Republican Government Official apologize for any thing. Did Dick Cheny or George W. Bush apologize for anything? So... When was the last time you heard an apology out of a Republican?

Ed Schultz Suspended for ‘Slut’ Comment directed at Laura Ingraham
 Source: TVNewser

MSNBC has suspended Ed Schultz for one week after he called fellow radio talker Laura Ingraham a “slut” twice on his radio show yesterday.

Schultz will address the remarks on his show tonight, and then take a week off. “Remarks of this nature are unacceptable and will not be tolerated,” reads the MSNBC statment.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I think that his suspension was justified. I am a fan of his and I agree with him most of the time, but comments like that are unacceptable.

4. He called her a slut and then revised with "Talk Slut." That's pretty close
 She's a mouthpiece of the corporate right. Was Ed so off base?

10. They got rid of Keith, Ed's next.
 I'm a woman, and the word slut doesn't even offend me. She IS a slut, selling out to the right (which has hardly been supportive of women's rights). There's no difference between calling her a slut, or calling a male right-wing talker a prostitute (as Keith Olbermann did).

MSNBC's just looking for any little thing they can use to make it so intolerable for Ed, that he'll leave the way Keith did. Those two guys are the only gutsy hosts MSNBC has. They and their Comcast overlords won't be happy until the only leftie they have is Rachel Maddow, because she's a wimp who'll kiss up to Buchanan and Michael Steele. She's so childish that she acts like a three-year-old flirting with daddy, lets every Repuke guest walk all over her, and takes 15 minutes to explain one simple fact because she repeats herself over and over ad nauseum.

I hope Keith puts Current on the map, and Ed follows him there when his contract expires. Screw MSNBC--they're sluts whoring themselves out to Comcast.

Horny old bastard minds think alike!

I will say the one fake I did find made her look waaaaay hot!!!

***edited statement***
Well I gotta edit this now. The one fake that looked like her, didn't really look like her in the face once I put the glasses on and expanded the pic. It was kinda of a small pic, faraway shot of her bending over. Other than my obvious lack of visionary detail without my glasses, she kinda/sorta did look like her from a blurry perspective.

In my defense guys... whoever the actual model was... she was hot too!
