As first picked up before other blogs early Wednesday afternoon by NewsBusters from Brian Maloney’s Radio Equalizer blog, MSNBC host Ed Schultz, on his Tuesday radio show carried by satellite radio, slimed conservative radio host Laura Ingraham as a “right-wing slut.”
Tim Graham’s prescient noontime NB headline: “Will MSNBC Suspend Ed Schultz for Calling Laura Ingraham a ‘Right-Wing Slut’ and ‘Talk Slut’?”
Hours later, at 5:51 PM EDT, MSNBC issued this statement:
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.
Laura’s white, there’s no big deal, but if she were a minority, there would be implications and repercussions. Ask Don Imus about those problems.
Schultz is a foul mouthed bigot, who relies on shocking his audience rather than providing original and thoughtful ideas.
Back when there was an ”Air America,” Schultz was touted as the ”moderate” Leftie.
LOL!
I wish they would let me have that fat pig for one hour,he would return with some manners,could be with some missing teeth.
Most people I know are very kind to anyone they know who has cancer.
Laura Ingram had breast cancer.
She had the mastectomy.
She had the chemo.
She lost her hair.
And all of that 6 years ago.
NEXT year she will officially be a cancer survivor IF nothing recurs.
Her advice for all of us:
Keep Living, Keep Living, Keep Living.
What a contrast between her and her slanderer!
