Ed Schultz gets one-week unpaid suspension for ‘right-wing slut’ remark

[Geee]

Daily Caller:

Finally the other shoe dropped on the Ed Schultz controversy on Wednesday.

In a release from MSNBC management, the network announced it would suspend Schultz for one week without pay for remarks he made on his Tuesday radio show calling conservative talker Laura Ingraham a “right-wing slut.” However, Schultz will be permitted to address the remarks on his Wednesday television show with the suspension beginning immediately afterwards:

“MSNBC management met with Ed Schultz this afternoon and accepted his offer to take one week of unpaid leave for the remarks he made yesterday on his radio program. Ed will address these remarks on his show tonight, and immediately following begin his leave. Remarks of this nature are unacceptable and will not be tolerated,” the statement reads.

On his Tuesday radio program, Schultz took a shot at conservative talk show host Laura Ingraham for her criticism of President Barack Obama’s trip to Ireland, where he enjoyed a Guinness, while the Midwestern United States was being hit by severe weather.

“And what do the Republicans thinking about?” Schultz said. “They’re not thinking about their next-door neighbor. They’re just thinking about how much this is going to cost. President Obama is going to be visiting Joplin, Mo., on Sunday but you know what they’re talking about, like this right-wing slut, what’s her name?, Laura Ingraham? Yeah, she’s a talk slut. You see, she was, back in the day, praising President Reagan when he was drinking a beer overseas. But now that Obama’s doing it, they’re working him over.”

The only reason he said he was sorry was in hope to get his job back

One week unpaid vacation. Such pain.

Sounds like Hate Speech against women which should make it a hate crime.

 

Broadcast to a national audience, this would make it a federal crime.

 

I'd think that Eric Holder would be all over this seeking that maximum punishment. (Something like withholding the shaved almonds on Schultz's banana splits for a month.)

If he'd uttered this slur against Miss Laura in my presence in a bar, the cops would still be trying to find his teeth. This is nothing less than guttersnipe talk from a baffoon who needs a good *ss-kicking.

Doesn't look like that would be much of a problem.

 

Looks like a 2nd cousin of bear-man-pig.

Sometimes, people just need an arse-kicking...

 

BTW: loved the Man-Bear-Pig reference from South Park...

Well the new tone sure didn't last long.

Round up the usual suspects: they're sniveling, have long, hairless tails, and cry like babies everytime they don't get their way in Congress or the White House.

Those socialist sluts!

 

 

Oooooooop's, I need a paid vacation!
