How angry are ultraliberal talk show hosts over Joe Lieberman’s opposition to a government "competitor" in the health insurance system, the so-called "public option"? Ed Schultz was mad enough Wednesday to get very personal with Hadassah Lieberman, the senator’s wife, who has worked for several DC lobbying firms. Schultz suggested she was a "whore." He said:

Now, the pillow talk in the Lieberman household in the sack had to be rather interesting, OK? You have got the wife working on behalf of the industry that's lining the pockets of the senator who has now come out against the public option. OK, look, how dumb are we? Is this a coincidence?

He asked: Does the word 'whore' apply? Are we there yet?

Mrs. Lieberman’s interests in the health debate are nebulous, according to left-wing journalist Joe Conason at Salon.com:  

The Lieberman family's financial ties to the health industry are no secret, yet their full extent remains unknown. During her husband's 2006 reelection campaign, Hadassah Lieberman's employment as a "senior counselor" to Hill & Knowlton, one of the world’s biggest lobbying firms, briefly erupted as an issue, especially because the clients she served were in the controversial pharmaceutical and insurance sectors. Exactly what she did for those clients has never been disclosed.

Schultz was also angry with CNBC host Larry Kudlow, who criticized him for hosting a segment on Wall Street with Ralph Nader and Barney Frank and no conservatives: "And by the way, what middle classer do you represent? You're a Wall Street pig and have been for a long time."

Schultz also fulminated on Wednesday about the need for a special prosecutor to investigate CIA lying to Congress. Schultz even nominated Ken Starr for the job:

Now I have to ask the Obama administration. I know you got a lot on your plate and I know you got a lot going on. How much evidence do you need, Mr. Holder? How much evidence do you need before you have the Justice Department decide, you know, where there's smoke there's fire. We're going to get Ken Starr and we're going to give him a $40 million budget to go find out exactly what the hell was going on!

Ok so it is fine to go after

Ok so it is fine to go after Lieberman's wife's career but we are criminal for bring up the Emperor in Chief's past association with ACORN?  I am so tired of the Hypocrits in politics today and the jokers in the blind press want us to accept their slanted opinions.

And where are all the libs

And where are all the libs howling for Schultz's apology and firing? 

Or at least suspension, a la David Shuster...

Or is saying someone is being "pimped out" worse than calling someone a whore?

 

 

Ed "Who?"

I'm "sure" that all the news folks out there would be calling for Schultz's resignation if they only knew who the Hell he was?  Edd B.

Do as I say ...

Don't forget Dear Leader's wife had a no-show job (just like those Mafia guys) that we, the people, paid for. But, please, don't bring it up, wifey is off limits.

Pitiful

Ed Schultz is a pathetic piece of human detritus.  Typical left-winger.

Just listen

If you listen to this pile of excrement (difficult, I will admit, but just try), the first thing that jumps out at you is how unhinged he sounds.

I find myself rooting for him to continue.  Not because I enjoy his maniacal ravings.  Not because I think he is right (oh, Lord...far from it!!!). No, because I know one thing for sure:

 

  • this guy's blood pressure has  got to be through the roof, and
  • I can't wait to watch him keel over in apoplectic fit and die on TV.

Maybe then, he will finally get a ratings share above 0%.

 

Trying to survive

Fat Ed is aware of his pathetic ratings. He  will say anything in an effort to attract the loons to watch his rantings. But there is not enough of them that actually watch any propaganda program to support him, Maddow, Olberwhacked and Tingles. All of them that were on tv during the last election are aware that the Obama bandwagon hoppers are gone. This is reflected in their anemic ratings.

I'm inclined to think

Achultz is even scummier than Olbermann.  I know it can be hard to figure out who is below who in a cesspool but Schultz has the edge for being the tackiest.

Does the word Manwhore Apply?

To refer to Ed Schultz as a detrivore is such a great disservice to all dung flies everywhere...

AMMO MAN...

 I guess you say manwhore, but I'm a simple guy. I'll just call his a dumb@$$ & that's exactly what he is.

Namesakes

Not so fast. The White House has said it wasn't THAT Jeremiah Wright, or THAT William Ayers, or THAT Angela Davis. 

Uh-huh. 

I guess

the WH expects that we'll believe that 0 knows a lot of guys named William Ayers, and Jeremiah Wright, George(collaborator) Soros and Anglea Davis.  Strange, there must be a lot of terrorists named Ayers, and a lot of communists named Soros and Davis, that get allowed to visit the White House?  

Caught On Tape

It made me wonder if non-tourist visitors are required to sign in at the White House. My guess is yes, so a comparison of signatures would be possible, however unlikely. Also, you know there has to be video surveillance at all points of entry. Maybe someone who monitors the cameras will talk!

Remember in November 2010

Reading between the lines

Ed "My face looks like I caught some hairs in my zipper" Schultz says: "Now, the pillow talk in the Lieberman household in the sack had to be rather interesting..."

Read that carefully: "the pillow talk ... in the sack." Why did he add the qualifier? Don't normal people have their pillow talk sessions "in the sack"? 

Where does Mr. Ed have his pillow talk confabs, with his head resting on a hemorrhoid cushion? Or the Barcalounger with the pooch?  With one of those scented unicorny "dream catcher" sachet pillows?

He was thinking of the paper sack he's forced to wear over his head before anyone will have sex with him.

Refresher course in PC Grievance Theory

I can't ever keep this straight:

If commentators vehemently and passionately critique the President, that would be racist. And if they then say "Does the word 'whore' apply" to Michelle, that would also be mysogynistic and, of course, racist.

If commentators describe an person from south of the United States, who is now living in this country without properly being admitted, an "illegal immigrant," that is racist. 

If commentators say that the Pope has a Nazi past, has sent "inquisitors" to visit several convents, and wants women to be submissive to their husbands, that's okay.

So, what is it when a commentator implies that a Jewish Senator's wife is a "whore"? Is that anti-Semitism? Or is it just the rough-and-tumble of life in politics? Or is she a "whore" in the same way as other K-Street lobbyists are "whores"?

I get so confused keeping the Grievance and Guilt Order straight. 

*My use of "straight" should not be construed as being either for or against any lifestyle choices that variously diverse  people choose in order to have life-affirming experiences of their choice--not that I'm saying there's anything wrong about any choices that you choose. [BTW, "affirming" = firm, get it? Ha ha]. And notice I didn't say anything about Muslin cartoons.

Can't say Merry Christmas, either

One more hateful moment -- school children saying "Merry Christmas". However, muslim prayer rooms in school are ok.

And He Wonders...

Ed, you are the best at what you do. Driving your viewers elsewhere.

Putz.

Only democrats' wives are

Only democrats' wives are allowed to be lobbyists, right Ed?

Even the Washington Post, that right-wing rag, or something, has had issues with former democrat senator Tom Daschle's wife having conflicts of interest.  But that's not a problem in Ed's world, because well at least the Daschles aren't conservatives.

MSNBC: No class, all A$$

Ed had zero interest, as did all the other liberal media, about what Hadassah Lieberman was doing, while Joe was a loyal Democrat.

If he were still a Democrat, they would be yawning at this now, claiming there's no "there" there.

It's Joe's leaving the party that caused his wife to become a whore.

Eddie is obviously trying to outdo both Matthews and Olbermann.

MSNBC  is shameless, or they would be embarrassed by this trio.

 

 

 

mb - and of course there is NEVER a connection made between

the guy who advises the president, Immelt, and this (HIS) network that carries such filthy-mouthed commentators!!!

Guess they are all having a good laugh in the Oval Office...of course, with the filthy-mouthed ballerina presidential advisor in attendance!  What was it the president said???? 'Judge me by the company I keep'???????????????????????????????????

Whose the real whore?

Ed, who are you whoring for to keep your job?  Interesting timing on bringing up the career of Joe's wife.  Only the democrats are good at attacking spouses/children.

There is an old true saying, sticks and stones can break my bones but words cannot hurt me.

 

what they don't say is many times those words lead to stick and stones..and the bones do get broken. 

Alan Grayson lowers an already low bar

On a very serious note, I just had a discussion on another story about Alan Grayson with another blogger.  The problem is that when someone sees this type of boorish behavior calling women 'whores' for example, regardless of which dictionary version or obscure definition you are using, they feel that it gives them license.   Couple this with this person appearing to prosper by their behavior and look out!!  The only ones faster to copy an idea than the TV networks are politicians.  And what has this gained us?  Now we have Democrats with "spine"?  Please, spare me.  I am a died in the wool republican but I would be less than honest if I said that Hillary Clinton lacked spine, or Lyndon Johnson lacked spine or god forbid Bill Clinton standing up to his abusive father - yep spine there also.  So who came up with this idea that being a total jerk equated with having 'spine' of some type?  Ed Schultz has been attempting to sell himself as tough for quite some time.  Ed trust me, calling women you don't agree with - or worse yet that you don't agree with their husband 'whores' doesn't make you appear tough, or large spined or anything besides crude and petty.  I would say the same thing about ANY Republican who acted like this.   

 

 

Tort reform, anyone?

Can we conclude that Ed will next call Pelosi, Obama, Reid & the other American socialist  Party members of Congress "Lawyer whores" since they have refused to consider the needed tort reform in any of their bills?  I know that only a few billion here or there will be saved and that is chump change when you are spending trillions, but I respect money, taxes, and my grandchildren's futures, so every little bit helps. 

As a CT Democrat for @ 40 years, I am strongly supporting Leiberman for his attempt to save the futures of my grandchildren by stopping the bills now under consideration.  I did have a chance to review the 242 page mock up of the Baucus bill and also the 1990 page Pelosi bill.  May I point out that the 2 bills submitted by the Republicans were @ 40 pages because the did not try to create layers ofgovernmnet intervention  They just focused on tort reform, prosecution of Medicare fraud, allowing policies to be sold across state lines, and a way to help those who lack insurance today.  The Pelosi bill does not cover all who need insurance.  That is so lame since it has been the intent of the bill - or so Pelosi tells us.   So, I try to tell everyone that the public option is NOT free and that Pelosi makes it illegal for states to continue their tort reform laws. 

Schultz is just so transparent - anything to get attention even ignore the truth.  Alinsky's Rules.

As a CT Democrat for @ 40 years

Why?  I have voted for different parties, but the Democrat platform is anti-American as are the ones running the country.  I am officially an Independent, of course I live in Texas and we dont have to declare such things.

Whores need tart reform. Healthcare needs tort reform, and

IT AIN'T IN NANCY'S BILL.

Double Standards?

Since conservatives and moderates are decried and hounded at the least insult (real or imagined) to any of the protected minorities, we should hold schultz to the same standards as he and his co-conspirators inflict on all who are not liberal or muslim. 

 Since he has no shame, just cut out his tongue. (It's called hyperbole, so don't think I really mean it.)

 Negotiating with a liberal is incremental surrender!

 

David Shuster

Wasn't he canned from MSNBC for weeks for using the word "pimp"?  Amazing.  If someone watched Ed's show, he might be in trouble.

Even the mob

Even the mob had a history of leaving wives and kids out of it. This guy makes organized crime look like Dignity Incorporated.  He is garbage.  Infectious, vermin filled, leave by the road, not fit to put in the garbage truck, garbage. 

 

Schultz better be careful. 

Schultz better be careful.  No way can Justice go after anyone with Michele Malkin's book out there, they'd have to take down EVERYONE in the administration, and they know it.

             Oh

             Oh, there's going to be an investigation. An investigation into the corrupt dealings of the media. An investigation into the corruption in congress & the senate. An investigation into Soros. An investigation into the blatant corruption of Barney Frank. And Pelosi. And Shultz, for being on the take. How much money has he accepted from the obama mafia. The man shouldn't be on the air.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              

→ Ed Schultz

Let me see if I've got this straight:

Barack Hussein Obama behaves and speaks like a textbook racist, But Glenn Beck better not call him out on it.

Ed Schultz thinks a woman is a whore, without any substantiation to back him up, but it must be so.

Don't tell me the NAGs are so enthralled with Schultz they just can't bring themselves to criticize him. 

Mmm, mmm, mmm - Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.

Paging MSNBC top

Paging MSNBC top brass...Paging MSNBC top brass...Anyone there? Does your inaction prove that more people listened to Imus than Schultz? If so, how much money is Schultz making for you?

The Rocky Mountain Collegian: Illustrating Idiocy

Congress=whores

These multiple references to lobbyists as 'whores' are not right if you look at the transactions involved. Congress are the whores, and lobbyists are the 'johns' in the relationship. Lobbyists pay the money, Congress provides the paid-for services in exchange.

Ed.., the Super Sleuth

Ed is Sherlock Holmes; no, really he is.  His amazing ability to line up facts (as he sees it) and re-arrange them on his high chair tray; then grind them all up and blow them all over the floor and re-assemble them into a diatribe is Castronic in it's beauty.

 Ed, I have got to subscribe to your RSS, I really need to know how those in the parallel universe you are reporting on; really live.

I don't know

Bert, it just seems like Ed, and Olbie and the other lefty "commenters" have a huge hang-up on sex.  They just can't help themselves from throwing it out there every chance they get.  Lots of talk about "teabaggers", "whores" and such. 

Must be their parents never had the talk with them and they just had to go on to find out on their own, that would explain their fascination, and knowledge, about deviant sexual behavior and paid-for sex.  

Ed Schlutz and his bad mood!

I think that Ed Schlutz and Maureen Dowd should hook up and "do" each other!  Perhaps both their moods would improve if the were getting a little loving from someone.  They appear to have itches that are in bad need of scratching.

I think the word....

...douchebag applies. I wish Michael Medved, a regular panelist on 'ED SHOW' would call Shultz out on his ugly bromides.
