Schultz: Palin 'Nothing But Political Slime'

David Letterman "jokes" about Sarah Palin's teenage daughter having sex with A-Rod during a baseball game.  For good measure he suggests the daughter would be of interest to Eliot Spitzer, infamous for soliciting a prostitute.

If Ed Schultz condemned Letterman, I missed it.

But let Sarah Palin's acceptance of Letterman's belated apology include thanks to the US military for making freedom of speech possible for all Americans, and Schultz condems Palin as "nothing but political slime."

Yes, that's precisely what the MSNBC host called Palin on his show tonight . . .

From the show intro:

ED SCHULTZ: David Letterman apologizes again [N.B.: because the first apology was so lame] to Sarah Palin. She turns it into a shameless political play.  This woman is nothing but political slime.

Note: It's been quite the day for Schultz in the slander department.   Earlier on Morning Joe, he declared emphatically that Dick Cheney "absolutely" wants Americans to die in terrorist attacks.  The ratings-deprived MSNBC host has apparently decided not to let anyone beat him to the bottom of the barrel.

No One Watches Mr. Ed

It doesn't matter if the 400 pound horse's ass slimes Sarah Palin. No one watches the pig.

Dont insult pigs.They serve a purpose.The rear end of Mr Ed doesnt.

This is the Best.......?

This is the best asswipe that democrat's money can buy?

I think they should ask for a refund.

He doesn't seem to be helping their case much.

rwi

I think they got him for change.A few pennies at most.He would still be overpaid.

well we were promised

we were promised change.  Just didn't know it'd be spent on this guy.  Should've just left it in the penny dish at the convenience store.  No doubt it would've been better spent.

lol

Your right.

Takes one to know one?

Sounds like yet another case of a liberal pot-smoker calling the kettle black...

Mark... What can one say

Mark...

What can one say here...I am past disbelief anymore with the msm, Ed really topped it off with this.

He must be trying to outdo Olbie on the fast track out.

Rubber walls here he comes...others I hope follow him with time.

I am literally just shaking my head as I post this...unbelievable.

We need to start coming up with sloagans

And dimwitted paridies with lsdnbc. Imagine a Reno 911 of this group, it would be hilarious!

GC.........

Reno 911 with this cast of clowns would be hilarious! 


Yep

Would not be hard to make fun of these clowns and the Dems they support. Unfortunatly Dems have been doing this to us for decades, even our children.

You're right - hate speech is conservative

Letterman, Bill Maher, this clown ... and liberals have the nerve to tell us to tone down the rhetoric because it encourages hate?

This morning, the gospel readings at Mass were about forgiveness. This is like a test, right, Lord? Kind of a Job thing? How many times must I forgive, seventy times seven? Or however many shows MSNBC has on at any given time? I ask merely for information ...

Olbermann and Maddow haven't been mentioned. Maybe it's one of those nights again when no one watched ...

Now what did I do that got heaven so mad at me?

General Electric supports him

NBC - General Electric supports this guy

Olbermann and Maddow

Olbermann and Maddow haven't been mentioned. Maybe it's one of those nights again when no one watched ...

KC...I pray so...I don't think I could take much more myself at times.

I truly have seen nothing like what is going on.

Amen to the rest of your post.

Hi Well

I thought O'Reilly was loud and obnoxious. I know your a computer guy, but I really recommend a PS3 just to enjoy the Blu Ray movies. I just bought "The Force Unleashed" the graphics are mindblowing

He had my vote

shawn

The graphics look really good.I just think PC games had more content.I am more into the storyline.

Won't be long

 

 Won't be long until "The dEaD Show" is history. msnBO has long had a problem with this time slot, they should just throw in the towel and air 'Caught on Camera' every day at 6p.m.(est).

 

You can always tell a liberal. But you can't tell him much!!

 

Is it just me or does Ed

Is it just me or does Ed Schultz remind you of that other fat ass, talk show host, liberal pedophile named Bernie Ward? 

You know nad, now that you

You know nad, now that you bring that up, you can't help but wonder if they are kissin' cousins...a lot of similarity the madder Ed gets....and looks, he does remind me of him.

Doubling down on stupid is not a particularly good idea. ~Andrew Breitbart

Ward?

Yeah he does remind me of Bernie Ward!

Wasn't Ward the big fat sweaty slob that got caught returning from a vacation to a country known primarily for the availability of deviant underage sexual activity with a bag full of Viagra?

Oh wait...that was Rush.

DSM-MSNBC. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders --- DSM --- is the standard classification of mental disorders used by mental health professionals in the United States. There's a page in there for almost every member of this "network."

I would find this upsetting

...if I knew who this fat-ass was.  Was he a guest on some show or something?

Schultz, Maher, Shuster,

Schultz, Maher, Shuster, Matthews, Olberman, Maddow...........

......"shut up!  ya meathead!"........

All this crap, that is being said by these people......(which everyone

seems to be forgetting that the rest of the world is watching us)......is embarassing. 

Run for governer...or shut up Shultzy!

 

Tick tick tick

Isn't it past time to go to an airport bathroom and paint a backwards swastika on his forehead and hold a press conference?  Neo-cons did it.

Why hasn't this man been

Why hasn't this man been measured for his straitjacket yet? It's way overdue.

suzy... Well...you have

suzy...

Well...you have to be a man to be measured first.

...or some-such thing.   ;-)

Keep in mind...

That Sgt. Shultz used to be a conservative, but was so untalented and forgettable that he switched to lib talk. He's now failing at that so I wonder what's next. Maybe he could write jokes for Letterman. 

Ed who? Sounds like

Ed who?

Sounds like liberal media slime to me.

Mr. Ed the talking horse

Mr. Ed the talking horse was better than this jerk.

 

Sarah Palin 2012!

You never hear a

You never hear a conservative commentator using words like "political slime" to refer to the opposition.  The liberal media are shamelessly vile when they choose to dissent.  Talk about hatred. Shultz, Maddow, Olbermann and then the lackey "comedic" guys like Maher, Stewart, Letterman et. Al display nothing but hatred on a daily basis.  Does Limbaugh, Hannity, O'Reilly, Buchanan etc. ever act like this? No.  They talk about the issues and let the issues themselves impeach the credibility of the liberal politicians.  There is no need to use 5th grade phrases like "political slime".

P.S. How is Palin "political slime"? Because she is a Republican that values the right to protect her children from perverted innuendo?

this is nothing more

than a pathetic attempt to grab a piece of the controversy  to bump up his terribly pathetic ratings. Best to just continue ignoring this big pile of trash, and he will soon be off the air.

Schultz, nothing but MSNBC

Schultz, nothing but MSNBC slime.

Trying to be the liberal version of Rush Limbaugh isn't working out for you Ed, is it? 

Who is this guy? 

Who is this guy?  Seriously, I've seen him criticized here on NB and am not sure why he's in the forefront as news.  I'm not being critical as I'm dumbfounded why this guy is newsworthy even on MSNBC. 

 

When the people fear the government it's called tyranny, when the government fears the people it's called liberty!

Speaking of plain old slime

ED(Erectile Dysfunction) Shultz, rant on you overstuffed sack of sh*t, the dozen or so viewers you have are probably so drunk or strung out on crack they don't even know which day of the week it is.

As far as Sarah Palin is concerned, I don't need to stand up for her, she does just fine on her own but it I were you I wouldn't make any trips to Alaska, a hunter might mistake you for a very fat, stupid elk and blow a hole through your chest, but don't worry your too damn ugly to have your head mounted on someone's trophy wall.

 To me you're nothin' but dogsh*t, you understand? And a lot of things can happen to dogsh*t. It can be scraped up with a shovel off the ground. It can dry up and blow away in the wind. Or it can be stepped on and squashed. So take my advice and be careful where the dog sh*ts ya!

 An apology to any and all Elk I may have inadvertently insulted. 

jessieH Speaking of slime,

jessieH Speaking of slime, how did this idiot ever get his own show? I will be glad when PMSNBC closes it's doors. Shultz can always go to work for "rev. wright".

Ed Schultz

Man, Ed must have seen the ratings again. How big of a no talent assh**e do you have to be to get LOWER RATINGS THAN the weasel, Shyster. I mean really, how pathetic of a loser must you be to be judged, by your own people, as less than Shyster, when it comes to ratings? How can someone live with such mediocrity? If I were GE for all the good he's done for the bottom line, I'd charge him for the airtime.

 

Ed Schutz billed himself as

Ed Schutz billed himself as a conservative when he started his career in political broadcasting. Now, he plays an over-the-top liberal. I don't think this guy has a sincerely held belief in his body. He's just a mercenary. Apparently, he has always had anger control issues going back to being a sports caster, when he not much liked by the college he called games for. I think this guy is self destructive and isn't long for the TV world. Wow, he does share a lot in common with his hero, Olbermann.

The "Mainstream" Media: By liberals. For liberals.

"Nothing but political

"Nothing but political slime" now that's a choice of words.

Sarah minds her business. DL, in a cheap attempt to gain a laugh, attacks her daughter (and gets a titter from the co-dependent, weak, liberal audience). Sarah defends her child. Then a weak, obtuse apology comes from DL. Sarah accepts.

If this is representative from the left, they can't win the vote of strong, independent minded americans. If americans believe and support this stuff, then they don't deserve democracy, based on individual responsibility and individual freedom.  

Saul Alinsky ?

If that isn't straight from the handbook, then it is gonna get an addendum.

Brilliant:

Never let your opponent get away with looking gracious ! 

Throw slime at the person you call slime ! 

Slimy but true

As usual, Palin was tone-deaf---- yet again.

It was a bad joke and Letterman paid for it, and she got an apology.

Problem was, she couldn't leave a winner of a quick skirmish.

She made herself into a loser when she and her husband went further and claiming Letterman was a pedophile who couldn't be trusted around young women....

She even dug herself in deeper into the political slime when she tried to bring the troops into the fray in a naked political ploy.

Because she didn't know when to stop, she has basically gone from  a victim to a slimer -- just in the space of a few hours -- all on her own.

Schultz may have been harsh...but it was accurate, sadly.

And Schultz was right again about Cheney. Cheney was a coward with five deferments during the Vietnam War. He is trying to paint himself as a patriot now -- but he dishonors those who served with almost every sentence.

He lied and conspired to invade Iraq when he knew for a fact there were no ties between Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden. He and his "fellow patriots" destroyed a CIA cover operation to try to score cheap political points.

He continues to lie and blame others, even now.

So does Cheney want Americans to die.....?

Absolutely. Just to be able to say he was right....when he has been wrong all along.

As a vet, I know Cheney has absolutely NO credibility and has been the worst vice president in American history.

That is the biggest problem for the GOP...they gave up their identity to follow the fringers-- and that is now what the party has become...the fringe.

Seems like people are angry with Schultz here, but the truth hurts.
