Psycho Talk! Someone Actually Suggested It - President Ed Schultz
... That someone being Cornel West, who used to be a respected scholar unless he decided to focus on full-time engagement as a provocateur.
On "The Ed Show" last night, West was talking with host Ed Schultz about Occupy Wall Street, his arrest outside of the Supreme Court, and GOP presidential candidates when he said this (video below page break) --
Of course we know that Barack Obama is better than any of the mediocre Republican candidates, but that's not saying a whole lot because, my God, you would be a better candidate than any of those put together, brother!
Yes, even you, Ed. But I mean that as a compliment, really.
To his credit, Schultz quickly dampened the suggestion, saying "let's not get carried away." Still, think of the possibilities. In lieu of a State of the Union address, Schultz would deliver a Psycho Speech instead.
You may recall that back in January 2010, shortly after Sen. Byron Dorgan announced he would not seek re-election, Schultz was asked by a top Democrat in the North Dakota legislature if he would be interesting in running for the seat. Schultz wisely decided again it.

Sloppy Fat Ed is every bit the intellectual and ideologically-deluded equal of the current VP. Similar levels of completely unwarranted arrogance, too.
I don't think it was a compliment.

Wasn't this the loon that Bill O'Reilly told that no bankers had been put in jail back in 2008 because they didn't technically break any laws. West threw up his hands in disbelief and wailed, "Oooooh!" Then O'Reilly asked West to name a law they broke to which West said, "..........(crickets)......

When a Republican says "brother"....it's racist.
But when the brother says "brother", it's not?
What if we just start calling everyone "sister" instead?

Starting this next Monday, 'The Ed Show' is moving to the 8 pm time slot, opposite Bill O'Reilly, swapping places with 'The Last Word'** w/ Lawrence O'donnell.
**note: No truth to the rumor with O'Donnell's show being their last program of the day, the show's new title will be 'The Last Turd'.

..........is, when "President Ed Schultz" is anything shorter of a stretch than the distance from earth to Jupiter.
Could you imagine Fat Eddie's inauguration speech?

It would have to be carried on a five minute delay and would consist mostly of bleeps!
To think NBC put Richard Pryor on a five second delay and yet MSDNC lets Eddie flap his psychotic gums over and over and over? Guess the network censors are too busy trying to keep Snooki and The Situation under control.
