Ed Schultz Shrugs Off Secret Service Hooker Scandal: 'I've Heard They Do That Stuff All the Time'
Eyebrow-raiser of a remark from Ed Schultz on his radio show yesterday about Secret Service agents allegedly hiring prostitutes in Colombia just before President Obama's appearance at the Summit of the Americas.
Schultz says he was aware of this type of conduct in the agency and apparently decided it wasn't worth investigating. (audio clip after page break)
Here's Schultz demonstrating his bizarre indifference to potentially fatal lapses in security for the president (audio) --
Am I missing something? Should I be talking about or covering this hooker scandal down in Colombia that the Secret Service is involved in? I've heard they do that stuff all the time. I'm not trying to denigrate the service or anything, but it's amazing how they got caught. There's 21 women that were taken over to the hotel room by these agents and it was party time and one of 'em didn't want to pay up.
Yet more failed stimulus spending by the Obama administration. Back to Schultz --
And so that's, and everybody's doing this story but we haven't done it on "The Ed Show." I don't know, am I missing something? Mike from Detroit, you're on the Ed Schultz radio show, hello.
Turns out Mike from Detroit didn't want to talk about it either.
Am I missing something, Schultz asks, twice. That he is, twice over. Not only is this fiasco indisputably newsworthy now -- hence, "everybody's doing this story" -- it was newsworthy when Schultz was told "they do that stuff all the time." Especially if the person informed of this has a cable television show on MSNBS, the top-rated liberal radio show in the country (according to Talkers magazine), and enough name recognition to get at least a few of his calls returned if he decided the matter warranted scrutiny.
Schultz also went on a tear yesterday condemning Ted Nugent's vitriol at the NRA convention (juxtaposed by Brian Maloney at The Radio Equalizer with a sordid assortment of unhinged rants from Schultz) and trumpeting the news that Secret Service agents planned to speak with Nugent about his remarks.
In the scheme of things, which poses a greater threat to the president -- lawlessness by the personnel sworn to protect him or an impolitic screed from a rock guitarist?
Perhaps Schultz could perform the public service of elaborating on any other illegal or unethical conduct by government employees he's learned about -- before the scandal erupts.

Remember the screaming headlines and pundits who blamed George Bush personally for the Abu Ghraib scandal? It was as if Bush was personally directing the activities at that prison. But now we have misconduct at the highest level for security SURROUNDING the President and yet obama is completely blameless. The security personel are people obama sees more of than he does his own family.

Right on the money. If this scandal had occurred during Bush's administration, Schultz and the rest of the liberal blowhards would be demanding his resignation and a congressional investigation. But because it's Obama, the media has been scrambling furiously to insulate him from any blame or responsibility for this debacle since day one. Completely predictable and pitiful.

"protecting" candidates running for office.
The Secret Service is saving taxpayers a few bucks by not paying for their female entertainment. Not sure if we should thank them for scamming a prostitute out of her service to the Secret Service. But maybe Ted Nugent can pass the hat at his Bar B' Que for Romney event to raise money for horny Secret service guys (and gals?). He could bill it as:
" BBB ball for sluts in service for their country."

Carter was brought down because of a lot of stuff happened that just made Americans embarrassed. It was the pits to be an American under Carter. That was why Reagan became so popular, he made us feel good about ourselves again. I can see the same elements reappearing in obama as they did for Carter. Romney needs to study the positive psychological impact on the American people that Reagan was able to convey. obama is divisive, condescending and arrogant. Reagan would beat him worse than he did Carter.

If that's the case, then why didn't we hear about it during the 8 years that the EVIL and IDIOTIC George W. Bush was in office??
After all, we ARE talking about the same MSM and StateRun Media, aren't we??? And they were ALWAYS looking for a way to make Bush look bad..............so if these SS agents act like this all the time - we should have had stories during the Bush era that would curl our skin!!!!
Plus - and I believe this completely - I'm SURE that Baraka, and his staff, have screened the SS agents long ago, in order to make sure that they have the 'right' types protection our much-revered President!!! Hell, he does it with crowds, he does it with photo-shoots, he does it with the press.................why the hell wouldn't he do it with his personal security??? He certainly wouldn't want any 'right wing conspiritors', or 'conservatives', or 'patriots, or 'Republicans' working for him, would he???

He was a football player back in the day. He's just so used to telling "me, too" fibs to keep up with the real studs.
This is his way of keeping with the big investigative investigators at real investigative news departments. Or as a German friend puts it, he can run with the big dogs but he can't raise his leg to pee.
If he lost 100 pounds, he might resemble Jon Lovitz. Yeah, yeah. That's the ticket.

Just another Ed Schultz fail. In fact, I believe Ed has failed so many times that he now has the Biden gaffomatic immunity.
Hey Ed, how's that Hope and Change working out? So you just admitted Obama is no different than Bush? Wow. So why should any Democrat show up to vote at all if Obama is just the same as all those before? And Ed, you just admitted Obama failed to exercise his leadership by NOT changing the culture of the Secret Service IF they were in the habit of doing this foolishness.
We must thank MSNBC for having this idiot on their station. They have done a public service in giving the public a demonstration of what the lunatic left looks like. He is the Alfred E. Neuman of MSNBC. I hereby dub thee Ed (Alfred E. Neuman) Schultz.
To the moderates and independents of America, in addition to considering if you are now better off than 4 years ago, the second most important question you should be asking yourselves is: After 3 years of on the job training, do you believe Barack Obama has demonstrated he learned any managerial skills at all? Follow up question: Will you and the country fair worse or better after 5 more years of on the job training?
And now, the stylized rantings of our very own Ed Schultz
