Ed Schultz Reveals Obama's Chummy Nickname for Him

... And no, it isn't "Flamethrower," though that was my first guess.

Radio talker and MSNBC cable host Ed Schultz told his radio listeners Tuesday that President Obama has a nickname for him, or at least one that Obama is willing to disclose to Schultz.

Here's Schultz leading into the revelation while talking with his producer James Holm about the Federal Communications Commission officially ending the so-called Fairness Doctrine, which hasn't been enforced since the Reagan administration (audio) --

SCHULTZ: So, here we are, this fear bullet point has been taken off. It's official! Federal Communications Commission chairman -- oh, this just isn't some sitting dude down at the end of the bench, this is the chairman! -- under the Obama administration! -- announcing the elimination of what?! Eighty-three outdated and obsolete agency rules on Monday, including the controversial Fairness Doctrine. Well, how in the world could Obama do this to us, Holmy?

HOLM: I don't know. (giggles)

SCHULTZ: How could, I mean, I've had lunch with President Obama. I mean, he calls me Schultzy.

Schultz likes the nickname so much (incidentally, wasn't it also what Col. Hogan called Sgt. "I Know Nothing!" Schultz on "Hogan's Heroes" ...?) that he began using it in promos yesterday, as can be heard here.

Nickname??

Submitted by Joe W. on Thu, 08/25/2011 - 7:52pm.

My nickname for Ed Schultz is ass hole.

Yes!

We have a winner!

President Obama is a Muslim (from his own lips), Kenyan (read it from his publicist) a homosexual (read it on a news magazine cover) and a Socialist (I'm alive and can see it for myself)

Schultzy? Like the desperate woman on the Bob Cummings show?

Submitted by drsamherman on Thu, 08/25/2011 - 7:54pm.

Schultzy was a frumpy woman (played to the hilt by Ann B. Davis - later Alice on "Brady Bunch") terminally desperate to get a husband. Is that what you are, Fathead Ed?

That's what first came to my mind, too

Submitted by Galvanic on Fri, 08/26/2011 - 4:21pm.

Ann B. Davis -- now there's a TV icon.

So, was Special Ed serving the appetizer or the entree at that lunch event?

Reminds me of sports coaches who turn everyone's lastname into a nickname by adding "ee" after the first syllable --

Smith = Smitty

Jones = Jonesy

Roberts = Robby

Schwartz = Schwartzie

Nelson = Nelly

Angelini = Angie

Nicolapopoulus = Hey, Greek

Makes everyone think they're special. And that's why we call him Special Ed.

Of course, had Ed not been able to get his 206 down safely...

Submitted by Dave. on Thu, 08/25/2011 - 9:07pm.

...the other day when his engine ate a cylinder, we could refer to him as "Crash" Shultz.

Schultzy?

Submitted by CO2Maker on Thu, 08/25/2011 - 10:46pm.

That sounds like a brand of flat beer. And just how much brainpower did the smartest president in history have to use to come up with that?

BTW, was "Fartblossom" taken?

I'd have a real hard time

Submitted by killa37 on Fri, 08/26/2011 - 12:35am.

I'd have a real hard time calling Barama 'Mr. President' if I met him......even though I know it's protocol. And we did have a discussion a while ago about calling Shultz 'Sargent'...........it seemed like some people didn't like the disrespect shown to our military - even though it's a take-off on the 'Hogan's Heroes' character - and my father loved Hogan's Heroes - and he was a 30 year military veteran, so he didn't seem to be offended by it.

My own name- since then - has been the 'Fargo Fat-ass'........

don't you think

Submitted by grammajane on Fri, 08/26/2011 - 10:09am.

if fatso had lunch with the one, we would have had endless talk from him and his lunch date?? If true, wonder if they discussed the sluts on TV, the stupid cops, the 57 states, voting 10x's , and ripping Cheny's heart out? Must have been a lovely and inspiring time, had by both

Ed's nickname...

Submitted by adamsmith on Fri, 08/26/2011 - 11:14am.

I affectionately call him Ed the Red. That's one of the nicer names. When I'm watching him spewing his lies, the nicknames aren't so nice. Glad to see Obamalinsky has lunch with his propaganda team on a regular basis. Just to make sure they can read on the teleprompter word for word what they are fed by the Communists in the administration. Ogabe should call Rachel Maddow his Leni Riefenstahl or Tokyo Rose. Personally I think they all should be hanged for Treason.....

Shultzy?

Submitted by kevtheweb on Fri, 08/26/2011 - 11:29am.

Shultzy? Really, thats the "nickname" given to him by Obama? How embarrassing, for the both of them.

Schulzy

Submitted by outamyroom on Fri, 08/26/2011 - 5:58pm.

I think it's the perfect nickname for him! On Hogan's Heroes, Sgt. Schulz's most memorable line was "I KNOW NOTHING!"
