Poltico inteview with Ed Schultz.... what do you think?

[hlthe2b]

I rather like it, and I have only recently come around to Schultz, having been the ultimate skeptic, given his republican roots. Your thoughts?

As host of MSNBC’s “The Ed Show,” Ed Schultz is known for dishing up a healthy serving of progressive politics derived from his blue-collar upbringing. His new book, “Killer Politics: How Big Money and Bad Politics Are Destroying the Great American Middle Class,” goes further, examining what Schultz feels is ailing millions of Americans and explaining how citizens can fight back. Appropriately, the cover features Schultz donning boxing gear and sporting a bruised eye. Judge how well he takes POLITICO’s punches in our latest “Answer This ...” feature.

Tell us your favorite joke.

Sarah Palin thinks she can run the country.

You're president of the United States for enough time to only make one executive decision. What is it?

Campaign finance reform. Turn the elections back to the people and away from the corporations. If you do that, you will get universal healthcare, multinationals like BP won't own the Congress and it would advance workers rights. I would also set a real path to energy independence.

What’s a common and accepted practice for Americans nowadays that you think we’ll look back on with regreand?

Actually believing Fox News is credible.

Think of one of your least favorite people in Washington and, without naming them, describe what makes that person so unappealing.

A person who flies on her father's coattails and whose only mission is to politically damage people with baseless attacks.

1. I've been a fan for years

Ed rocks. Great interview!

2. LOL- When's the last time you used profanity?

Hell, I don't know


Describe your level of ambition.

Unparalleled. I have a TV show, a radio show, I’ve authored two books, I own a construction company, own a commercial fishing lodge and am a pilot. I want to prove every day that liberal talkers can be successful at business.


I like this answer, too-- his ego and sense of success is not totally invested in anyone single thing, namely his MSNBC spot. He speaks pretty freely. They could fire him tomorrow and his life would still be plenty full.
