Unhinged Ed Schultz Goes on Psycho Talk Promo of Failing Show

Your pink slip is on the way.

That is the fear that is probably driving Ed Schultz completely over the edge. And Big Ed probably insured the likelihood of that outcome when he recently threatened to go postal and torch MSNBC when that network neglected to promote his abysmally rated show on an election night.

Brian Maloney at the Radio Equalizer has recorded the Schultz dementia from his radio show as he pathetically makes the case for the "success" of his failing MSNBC Big Ed show. The full transcript is below the fold but first an excerpt from his demonic rant which demonstrates why the MSNBC suits, for safety sake, might want to pass Ed through a metal detector whenever he enters their studio:

And you have no idea, in my bones, in my very soul! In my heart! I want to kick Fox's ass! I want to drive them into the ground! I want to spike the ball! I want to kick 'em in the teeth on the way back to the huddle! And then I want to turn around and lift my leg on 'em! Because that's all they're worth!

Here is a transcript  of Ed Schultz in rabid rant mode but the full extent of his uncontrollable rage must be heard to be fully appreciated:

Now, Beck has big ratings at 5 o'clock. But at 6 o'clock against me, they drop damn near through the floor. They lose half their audience. In the meantime, The Ed Show, right now, this month of August, we are beating CNN in the demographic 25-54 by 1.2 million people. In total viewers for the month of August, we are beating CNN by 3.77 million.

We're starting to play in the arena of the big boys now.  And it's not because of me. It's because you, the viewers and listeners to this show. Now, the other night we got as close as we've ever gotten to beating Fox. Bret Baier beat me by 103 points in the demo, 103. Now you see, you have to understand that, they have a big audience but, hell, they're all old! In 25-54, we're getting in the neighborhood.

...And you have no idea, in my bones, in my very soul! In my heart! I want to kick Fox's ass! I want to drive them into the ground! I want to spike the ball! I want to kick 'em in the teeth on the way back to the huddle! And then I want to turn around and lift my leg on 'em! Because that's all they're worth!

MSNBC executives might want to listen carefully to the unhinged fury of their own host before handing him the pink slip. For your own safety, don't do it while Schultz is still in the studio or you could risk the scorched earth that he threatened...or worse. It would be best to inform him while he is at home during a long weekend. Please be sure to deliver his personal effects to his front door so there would be no need for Big Ed to ever return to the MSNBC studio.

Have a happy Labor Day weekend, Ed, and enjoy the music.
