The Ed Show

Gallup might be seeing an historic spread in the Republicans' favor, and even Mark Halperin is predicting GOP gains of as many as 60 seats. But amidst all the Dem panic and gnashing of teeth, the Pelosi party can still count on one true believer: Bill Press.Former California Dem chairman Press has predicted that when results come in on Election Night, GOP leader John Boehner's office will be a…

KEY UPDATES below the fold, including Beck's response to Schultz. There's not really much you can say about this claim, beyond "suuuuure."Ed Schultz, who attracts just over a quarter of Glenn Beck's viewership (700,000 vs. 2.6 million viewers), claimed he could out-rally the Fox News host, whose "Restoring Honor" event attracted an estimated 300,000 people to the National Mall on Saturday."I…

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…

On Thursday's The Ed Show on MSNBC, substitute host Cenk Uygur -- also of the Young Turks -- blamed conservative opposition to the Ground Zero mosque for acts of violence against Muslims, and charged that the Republican party is the "party of hate." He soon added: "Then there's the vitriolic fight against immigrants, undocumented ones and in Arizona just people who happen to look undocumented.…

UPDATE (11:26 AM): Was Joe Scarborough mocking Schultz on air the day after his outburst? Ed Schultz may have finally lost it. He has reportedly been neglected by MSNBC brass. The last straw came earlier this month when Schultz found out he would not appear on MSNBC's election night promo.He went absolutely berserk, according to people on the scene."I'm going to torch this f***ing place!" he…

Wasn't comparing your political opponents to Nazis once a no-no? I mean, just remember how upset the liberal concern police would get if some wayward individual at a Tea Party event in some random place in the United States had a homemade sign protesting President Barack Obama and invoked Nazi Germany symbolism? Well, you would think - or at least expect a national TV host (even with…

I was going to say the left has now officially hit rock bottom.  But it's still a long way to Election Day for the desperate Dems . . . On this evening's Ed Show, trial-lawyer guest Mike Papantonio accused Glenn Beck and the Koch brothers of consciously plotting, via Beck's DC rally, to provoke race riots.In Papantonio's fevered imagination, the Beck-Koch axis is attempting to recreate the…

Different host, same liberal bias . . . Subbing for Ed Schultz on MSNBC this evening, Cenk Uygur suggested that the roughly 70% of Americans who oppose the Ground Zero mosque are "ignorant."  Uygur was debating the mosque matter with Republican strategist and former Newt staffer David Winston.  Winston suggested that the people behind the mosque could, in light of the overwhelming oppposition of…

A liberal Huffington Post contributor and board member of the website's Investigative Fund rained on Ed Schultz's GM success story victory parade on Thursday.After the MSNBC host crowed about the positive earnings report from the government-owned car company, he clearly expected that left-leaning guest Leo Hindery was going to join him in the celebration.Quite to the contrary, the admittedly "…

Ed Schultz on Thursday blamed Republicans for all the unemployed people living in America today.As he began the most recent installment of the "Ed Show" on MSNBC, the host said, "The Republican Party has been on a crusade against the middle class and the poor for the last 30 years. We're now seeing the wreckage of that race to the bottom line culture."He disgracefully continued, "Today a…

What's next: Bill Clinton cutting an ad vexing David Vitter on the issue of fidelity?Of all people, Ed Schultz spent an entire segment this evening going after Chris Christie . . . about his girth.I counted no fewer than seven separate barbs that Schultz directed Christie's way over his weight.  He began with a photo of the NJ Governor with the graphic "Battle of the Bulge."  It got heavier from…

MSNBC's Ed Schultz on Monday absolutely got his head handed to him in a debate with syndicated columnist Tony Blankley.Clearly underestimating his opponent, Schultz rudely introduced the subject of a Republican proposal to not have the Congress come back for a lame duck session after November's elections by saying, "No one knows better about shutting down Congress than someone who was right…

From the Department Of People In Glass Houses . . . Early in his MSNBC show this evening, Ed Schultz mocked Karl Rove's performance in filling in for Rush Limbaugh today.  In particular, Schultz slammed Rove for his brief problem in providing the show's call-in number.  But later in the show, Ed himself ran head-first into a rhetorical roadblock, stumbling badly when it came to pronouncing…

How far have we come from the era of "Dissent Is Patriotic" stickers on the bumpers of your local lefties during the Bush administration?  A host on the second-highest rated cable news network has equated political dissent with . . . assassination.  On his MSNBC show this evening, Ed Schultz stated: "Now I'm putting my cards on the table tonight as I do every night. The Republican party is on…
