Schultz Mocks Young, Inexperienced, Never Ran a Business, Radical Ryan - Misses Obama Irony
Ed Schultz on Thursday mocked Congressman Paul Ryan (R-Wisc.) as a young, inexperienced kid who's never run a business, never had to meet payroll, and who offered up a radical plan that he doesn’t know the ramifications of.
As the host of the "Ed Show" whined, he clearly missed the irony that these very same things were said about the former junior senator from Illinois prior to Election Day 2008 (video follows with transcript and commentary):
ED SCHULTZ: I think it’s interesting that the Republicans are trotting this kid out there. He’s in his early forties, he’s never run a business, he’s never had to meet payroll, yet he seems to have all the answers for the social engineering that is exactly what Newt Gingrich was talking about, and he offers up a radical plan, and he doesn’t know the ramifications of it.
He knows in the Congress as long as he’s been there and what kind of career he has that he’s never going to have to worry about healthcare. He’s never going to have to worry about pensions. He comes from safe territory with a very radical plan.
Sound like someone familiar? Maybe the man currently residing in the White House?
Isn't it funny that three years ago, those very characteristics were fine qualifications to be president?
Now in the eyes of this disgraceful shill that helped put a man fitting almost the exact same description into the highest office in the land, they're detriments disqualifying someone to even serve in Congress.
What a difference a "D" makes, huh Ed?

Ed's logic goes right over

Ed's logic goes right over his own head. Funny and expected.

Happened to tune over for about 5 minutes and caught this. He was interviewing some freak from The Nation, two idiot red heads.
I can imagine on his radio show:
Special Ed: "He's a young guy - never ran a business - never met a payroll!"
Me: "Didn't we elect a community organizer who never ran a business or met a payroll?"
Special Ed: "What?! Er- Uhm........Good-Bye! I don't have time for this!" (click)

I seen that and started laughing. Here is Schultz looking like a corpse (sorry Obama) with lipstick after that famous MSDNC make-up artist did their thing, spitting out his lies and then praising that "granny pushed over the cliff" ad. After a few minuted I couldn't take it anymore and switched channels.

Is Special Ed really the best that MSNBC can muster

I mean really. They are seriously putting someone this irony-challenged on their air. Apparently, no one wants to work for MSNBC if this is the best they can do.
Wow. Special Ed endorses Newt's own words?
Submitted by Scout Finch on Fri, 05/20/2011 - 1:09am.
Only when it is convenient to him. Even if (center-right) Newt prevails (Lord help us all), Ed will find a way to mock him too.
Nothing like a calm, steady ship on stormy seas, eh Ed?

Given the fact that this guy's IQ HAS to be lower than the room temp. of a meat locker, maybe MSNBC will let him dress like the clown he is on air. Hell that might boost his ratings, AND put the show in it's proper context, weak comedy!

Numb skulls, personified by Ed Schultz, are far too dumb to recognize irony.

The RNC should acknowledge Schultz.

Ed does so much to prove the points being made by the RNC that they should send him a fruit basket every now and then. This piece is hilarious. Ryan's plan is terrifying to the tax and spenders and Ed expresses that fear for them loudy and cleary. Keep it up Ed, they need your support.
As for Obama's economic abilities, I wouldn't let him run my cash register. -bidn-
Funny, as the only thing Red Ed has ever run is his mouth

What about Ryan's radical plan?
Submitted by melvin on Fri, 05/20/2011 - 5:00am.
That is the point of Schultz's message. Ryan wants to kill Medicare, plain and simple. 80% of the people don't like Ryan's plan. Look at the Republican town halls! Ryan has given a great gift to the Democrats. His "plan" basically gives the House back to the Democrats, lets the Democrats hold the Senate, and assures President Obama's reelection. The Democrats are going to send thank you notes to Paul Ryan next November. Ryan will probably be looking for a job too. He should look for a job in the private sector, for once.
Hi, Ed!

Ryan wants to kill medicare - check
Phony 80 percent oppose it number -check
Made up "anger" at Ryan at town halls - check
Ryan does not know "private sector" -check
Medicare will be "killed" on its own, plain and simple.

Ryan's plan is an attempt to save Medicare. If you look at the latest Trustee's report, Medicare HI trust fund [Part A] is solvent until 2024. However,
Trustees' New Projections Show Why Entitlement Reform Can't Wait
[...]
The trustees are required to assume that a 29 percent cut in doctor payments will be implemented in 2012, even though Congress continually acts to prevent such cuts. The report also assumes that the cost controls enacted in the Affordable Care Act will take effect exactly as written in law, although there is considerable uncertainty as to whether the productivity targets it established are sustainable over the long term.
For these reasons, the trustees state, “the actual future costs for Medicare are likely to exceed those shown by the current-law projections in this report.”
Medicare’s chief actuary is more blunt, saying in his Statement of Actuarial Opinion that “the financial projections shown in this report for Medicare do not represent a reasonable expectation for actual program operations in either the short range….or the long range.”
So, under current law, Medicare Part A remaining solvent until 2024 appears to be a pipe dream. If nothing is done, Medicare will be "killed" on its own, plain and simple.
What I find interesting, the PPACA is basically a "voucher" system for the less fortunate, so, it's ok for one segment of the population to use vouchers and not ok for another segment.
80% of the media may not like it
Submitted by Boudin on Fri, 05/20/2011 - 8:57am.
Or at least that was what they have been told to project. But the folks know, this better get resolved, or it will drag all entitlement down with it.
Which unfortunately seems to be the dimwits ultimate goal. Your a libtard Melvin, why would they want to do that?

Special Ed's description of Ryan certainly fits Obama.
And look at the fruits of never-met-a-payroll Obama's inexperience. Over 1300 businesses, organizations, and labor unions have been granted waivers to Obamacare because they can't afford it, and that list includes upscale restaurants in San Francisco.
