Ed shultz is going after Keith Olbermann....
because he doesn't like the fact that Shuster is on suspension. I like Shuster and Olbermann's commentary on a lot of things but Ed needs to shut his hypocritical ass up. One day he says he hates Bill and is against Hillary then on another day when callers get all over him he lies and says he has nothing against the Clintons and has said nothing against them...

No one is exempt from the faithful

3. Ed who?? That bloviator is jealous that Keith has moved on up in
the biz and is making a great mark for himself. Keith says important things, covers important subjects, Ed bloviates. 'nuf said..

4. KO has used the term "pimping" before
He's just saying there is a double standard here.

13. I heard already from many here that context does not matter
Using the term "pimping" is derogatory no matter what. Is what has been what they have been saying.

It was in one of Olbermann's special commentaries:
http://www.nypost.com/seven/02112008/news/nationalnews/msnbc_pimped_gen___too_561282.htm

But Keith Olbermann, the network's chief left-wing Doberman, didn't suffer the same fate as suspended correspondent David Shuster when he accused President Bush last September of "pimping" the commander of US forces in Iraq.

"In pimping General David Petraeus and in the violation of everything this country has been assiduously and vigilantly against for 220 years, you have tried to blur the gleaming radioactive demarcation between the military and the political," Olbermann said in a Sept. 20, 2007, rant entitled "Your Hypocrisy is So Vast."

22. It was meant to be derogatory in Keith;'s comment
Shuster denied it was anything more than slang. Yeah it's slang for procuring.

16. Keith said Bush was pimping Gen Petraeus
And he meant it to be demeaning, unlike those who claim Shuster was just using slang

10. What would Shultz prefer instead of suspension?
Something lighter or something harsher?
Sorry, but I didn't catch Keith's take on this.

11. It isn't even Keith's call. Shuster wasn't on Keith's show when he spouted
off. Ed needs to find some facts.

18. No, he is not. He is showing the absurdity of Hillary's getting Shuster suspended
while ignoring all the other stuff going on.

23. Ed Schultz is an f---ing ass all he does is pimp for
Edited on Tue Feb-12-08 04:30 PM by doc03
Obama. I hope the f--- AA goes under if I want to hear someone smear the Clintons I will listen to Rush Limbaugh at least he is entertaining in his venom at times. As for AA everyone is clearly Obama supporters I have heard more trash talk on the Clintons on AA than on Fox lately. I just wonder who the MSM will pimp for when Obama is the Democratic nominee. Throughout this campaign the MSM has been pimping Obama and McCain both it will be interesting to see what they do next fall. They are going to be caught between a rock and hard place, if they pimp McCain the Obamites will claim racism, if the pimp Obama the McMainiacs will say they are picking on a war hero.:mad:

on edit: I know Ed f---ing Schultz is not AA but they carry him on XM. As far as AA goes they are all shills for Obama Randi Rhodes, Rachel Maddow, Lionel and Mike Malloy.

28. In the words of George Harrison, "It's all part of the stew."
Ed has strong opinions and so do we, the difference being he has a radio show to express his views.

The First Amendment is awesome.
