Schultz's Strange Mind-Melt: Confuses Palin With . . . Michelle Obama

By Mark Finkelstein | November 23, 2010 | 21:34

A  A

With the Thanksgiving weekend coming on, today somehow feels like Friday.  So let's kick back and have some fun, courtesy Ed Schultz.

Check out the video as Ed goes into protracted brain-cramp, somehow confusing Sarah Palin with, of all people, Michelle Obama, as he describes the author of a forthcoming book.

Let Ed entertain you with his sustained cerebral short-circuit.

ED SCHULTZ: The President--let me tell you something--don't pay any attention to her now.  Michelle Obama's book is gonna, er, er, gonna, definitely, uh, Michelle, uh, should I say that Sarah Palin's book is definitely going to come out and sell a lot of books and it's going to help her image.

The wheels have really fallen off the Sgt. Schultz bus. Michelle errrr Sarah. My friends in Fargo are really embarrased that he got his start up there as a conservative "personality."

He started out as a Rush

Submitted by Paleo2k on Tue, 11/23/2010 - 9:58pm.

He started out as a Rush wannabe and when he could make that cut he jumped to the other side. He's and opportunist...and he hates dogs!

that's exactly what I think

Submitted by theduck6 on Wed, 11/24/2010 - 7:54am.

whenever I can't get to the remote fast enough when his mug appears on the TV. He wants to be Rush so badly he is unhinged. He mistakes loudness for bombast and insanity for controversy. If Special Ed wasn't such a boob, he'd be funny.

It looks to me like someone whispered the mistake in his ear-otherwise I don't think he would have realized it.

You're Right

Submitted by Beukeboom on Wed, 11/24/2010 - 12:54pm.

You're right about someone telling Ed via his IFB of his mistake. Some people can handle a producer or director talking to them via their IFB without missing a beat while some, like Ed, gets thrown off-rhythm. It's not an easy thing to do for an anchor.

What context

Submitted by Tjexcite on Tue, 11/23/2010 - 10:48pm.

What context put her his in his head. Palin lives in his head all the time but why was Michelle there too. He might of being thinking of how big of Ass Palin is and the FLOTUS' big rear just got in there for some reason.

It was most likely a miss in the teleprompter and special Ed was just showing what he does best by reading what the left tell him too.

Well, they WERE calling Palin

Submitted by killa37 on Wed, 11/24/2010 - 12:30am.

Well, they WERE calling Palin an 'incredible ass' the other day..................not to be confused with a 'humongous ass'..............and I'm sure that the Sarge's posterior casts a 30 pound shadow all by itself!!!

Poor Schultzie uses up all of

Submitted by Chris Norman on Tue, 11/23/2010 - 10:58pm.

Poor Schultzie uses up all of his precious few brain cells just to keep breathing. You can't actually expect him to be able to keep the names of two such similar women straight, can you?

Submitted by Barack_must_go..... on Tue, 11/23/2010 - 10:59pm.

If you listen closely he almost says Bachman, his other favorite female conservative, just before he says Obama.

Either way he's still a huge dick.

Poor Eddie. He has never

Poor Eddie. He has never quite recovered from having to ride in the back of the short bus.

He's Just Pandering to Unions

Submitted by KevindF on Wed, 11/24/2010 - 12:06am.

Ed just became a liberal to get his second wife to agree to marry him. She's a big medical/labor union stooge.

Good luck!

Drunk

Submitted by grammajane on Wed, 11/24/2010 - 2:03am.

He was probably drunk. In Fargo, where he is from, it is said he drank and caused numerous bar brawls. How could this old fat a-- be so jealous of a young attractive and smart woman like Palin?? He can't have  one show without blabbing sarcastic and false claims about her. She is a racist, whitie, fear mongrel, lying, cheating, dumb and stupid. Sounds like a perfect discription of himself. Keep his BS on Newsbusters as it always good for a great laugh.

I would love

Submitted by RESTLESS 1 on Wed, 11/24/2010 - 2:14am.

For him to start a bar brawl in my vicinity. It would be his last, I promise.

Tryptophan?

Submitted by Cactus Kurt on Wed, 11/24/2010 - 9:48am.

Ed must have started early with the turkey and red wine because it appears that tryptophan is kicking in his tiny brain.  Lately, his behavior is even dumber than his normal standard.  Poor Braindead Ed needs a vacation.  Better yet, he should resign as his demented colleague at (MS)NBC likes to spew.

The Ed Schlitz Malt Liquor Show!

Submitted by Diesel on Wed, 11/24/2010 - 12:28pm.

Hey asswipe, ease up on 5.9% ABV malt beverages when you know you got a show to do.

This so called cable channel, MSHIT, has got to be the biggest embarrassment (next to obama) this country has ever known!

Mr. Ed is a mess

Submitted by donaldduck on Thu, 11/25/2010 - 2:35am.

Seems like good old Mr. Ed had a problem with his teleprompter, and, just like his hero, Mr. Fauxbama, he became tongue-tied. Again, the good news is that very few people heard or saw it. The better news is that MessNBC keeps that doofus on the air. Can't wait until Comcast takes over that wreck of a network and flushes out all the crap and turns it into either another home shopping network or another retro-tv network. Either way, their ratings. and revenues, will go up.
