Gee, wondered liberal radio host Ed Schultz, how come conservative talkers got invited to the White House during the Bush presidency but not us lefties?
Here's how Schultz put it in his inimitable way on Wednesday, initially describing how President-elect Obama has yet to call on a Fox News reporter during his transition press conferences (click here for audio) --
I should just tickle the memory a little bit of progressives out there and liberals across America that the Bush administration was a very selective White House. Ah, you know, they have soirees in the Oval Office with the right-wing talkers of America. In fact, many of you who don't get this, it's an industry magazine known as Talkers magazine, Michael Harrison is the publisher, does a real favor to the industry and a service to the industry by doing this monthly magazine, but there was a front-cover picture of Bush in there with all the right-wing talkers. You know who they are -- Hannity, Ingraham, Boortz, Medved, Gallagher, Levin, I think he was all there, I don't know. And the progressive talkers, you know, we lefties with microphones, we were never invited to the White House. Never got a chance to even urinate on the yard. You know? None of that.
With Obama destined for the White House, Mr. Schultz, looks like you'll finally get your chance. Try not dribble on your pants before heading into the Oval Office.
Given the Obama team's much-touted skills at logistics, surely they'll line up sufficient punchbowls and Porta-Potties to handle all liberal talk host contingencies. Then again, by eschewing punchbowls they'll need only half as many Porta-Potties, which attendees such as Schultz won't use anyway.
Schultz's Thanksgiving Eve utterance was the latest in a series of odd pronouncements from the top-ranked liberal radio host, including his comparison of Big Three CEOs seeking a federal bailout to a prostitute haggling with a john and post-election conspiracy-mongering about falling oil prices.

Urinate and what else?
December 1, 2008 - 10:37 ET by Spinningplates2We all have read what else "Progressive's" like to do with strangers in the bushes. I don't think the White House lawn is the place for their random, casual, annomous sex. (not that there's anything wrong with that)
Well, Ed, you have your chance now.
December 1, 2008 - 10:48 ET by c5thenGo ahead and take the next invitation you get and intend to lift your leg in the rose garden. My guess is that you will not so much as lift your leg, as you will lift your tail for free access by The One.
Hey, I got the wrong "CHANGE"!

Ed, confine yourself to writing your name in the snows of Fargo.
Welcome to the era of unity, you racist!
The sad thing is that Ed
December 1, 2008 - 10:58 ET by SeashellThe sad thing is that Ed Schultz probably would have urinated on the White House lawn. He has no respect for "the People's House" or what it represents. What an awful person.
Why Libs?? Why??
December 1, 2008 - 11:05 ET by flyingmonkeyWhy is it that the foremost thing on most liberals minds is to desecrate those things that stand for America and the American way?
It's a big world you liberal morons. If you don't like it here, leave!!!

Plastic mattress covers
December 1, 2008 - 11:50 ET by Tom in NCBetter have the White House staff break out and dust off the plastic mattress covers for the Lincoln Bedroom for all the liberal bedwetters that will be staying there starting Jan 20, 2009

December 1, 2008 - 12:31 ET by mizflame98If you start to see brown patches on the White House lawn, you'll know who the culprits are. I suggest the Obama better start stocking up on this.

This is just sub-moronic,
December 1, 2008 - 12:50 ET by Jack BauerThis is just sub-moronic, even for this blowtard.
Maybe someone should explain the difference between the 1st Amendment, the Press Corps and the man as President; and who the President INVITES into house as an individual with political views.
#1. The White House Press Corps is fundemental to the constitutional Republic. By NOT calling on the major CABLE sources of news dissemination within the United States, President-derelect Obama, is veering into an outrageous abuse of his obligation to explain himeself and be questioned by all comers. If this continues when he is President, it will refelect badly on him. And he should be challenged at every Press conference.
Has Presdient Bush REFUSED to call on any network/cable news outlet during his past 8 years.
#2. I have no doubt that President Obama will be inviting into his inner sanctum ANY PERSON he damn well PLEASES. And guess what, there won't be many or any conservatives.
They want to piss in
December 1, 2008 - 16:18 ET by SlicksterThey want to piss in Bush's yard but can't wait to drink obama's urine.

Probably peed on himself
December 1, 2008 - 20:46 ET by RR GOPProbably peed on himself the second he heard Obama won the election.
One of the 24% who thinks George W. Bush was a great President. One of the 89% who wants to bring back the stock and pillory.
It took 8 years to remove all the fluids from the prior occupant
December 1, 2008 - 22:43 ET by CapeCodScottThe last thing Pres. Bush would want to do is give libs a chance to do literally what they have been doing metaphorically on him for the past two terms. Wait till the new occupant arrives, see if he is up for your offer Ed.
