Ed Schultz: The Third Least Influential Person Alive

Union money, liberal big donor start-up spiced by a bad case of Hannity-envy.

(Page 4 of 4)

Interestingly if inadvertently, this problem with selling liberalism on the radio or television was underlined recently by two very different people.

The first was one-time MSNBC host Keith Olbermann, who has a famous habit of being fired by his various employers. But the last one — Al Gore’s Current TV — elicited from Olbermann a remark that wasn’t quite as absurd as many took it to be when he made it on David Letterman’s show. Olbermann compared himself to a “a $10 million chandelier” in a house — meaning Current TV — that didn’t have a room to put it in.

The second person to touch on this problem was comedian Jimmy Kimmel, who took his turn trying to make Washington political and media elites laugh at Saturday night’s White House Correspondent’s Dinner. Said Kimmel, in a jibe that seemed aimed Olbermann but spoke volumes about liberalism:

I’d like everyone to look under their seats. You’ll find a copy of Keith Olbermann’s resume. I didn’t know Current TV existed, because I don’t get Channel 1,000,000.

In other words, getting past Olbermann’s ego and Kimmel’s joke, the point is exactly the same as it is when discussing Ed Schultz. To wit: Liberalism doesn’t have an audience to speak of. Or perhaps, period. Whether it’s for Al Gore’s Current TV. Or Ed Schultz.

It’s been tried. It’s been tested. It has been found to be — yet again — a failure.

As Schultz inadvertently communicated when lashing out obsessively at Hannity yet again, there are more hungry people in the Obama era than “ever before.” Because liberalism has a long and decided track record in inducing poverty and hunger in America. Or, as we observed in this space last week, whether the man in charge is Jimmy Carter or Barack Obama — the results of liberalism are always, always the same.

Which is why GQ (of all publications) grudgingly newsflashed that Ed Schultz is no Sean Hannity.

Which is why Sean Hannity didn’t need conservative donor funding for his show.

Which is why Sean Hannity isn’t on a union payroll.

Which is why Sean Hannity has huge ratings.

Which is why Sean Hannity doesn’t have to have outside groups write his television scripts.

Which is why Sean Hannity earns the big bucks.

Which, taken all together, is why MSNBC’s Ed Schultz spends his time spluttering about Sean Hannity.

What else is there to do if you’re the third least influential person alive?

GQ should be renamed ' Metrosexual's Liberal Quarterly". Why is it when a Liberal wants to attack El Rusbo they go into a diatribe and describe Ed Schultz. They must be watching Sgt. Schultz because they certainly know nothing about Rush..

Clint| 5.1.12 @ 7:14AM

What's Sgt. Schultz Building In There ?

If Schultz is so uninfluential why waste all this space talking about him?

Of course, there are few as inconsequential as Jeffery Lord, whose ludicrous rants belong only in the fiction trashcan of history.

If, as you say, "there are few as inconsequential as Jeffery Lord", then why do you waste all this space talking about him?

if Jeffery Lord is so inconsequential, why are you wasting space whining about HIM?

Jim | 5.2.12 @ 12:59PM

Hi Jack:
Because Schultz is an assh**e, and sometimes it is fun to talk about assh**es at length, which I could do here as well, but unlike you, I have a job.

Appleby| 5.1.12 @ 7:09AM

I never listen to people who yell. That includes Glenn Beck. Life's hard enough without people yelling, especially when they yell the same two words over and over and over. Most people get over that stage by the time they start school, and the ones that don't make me glad there are 700 other channels.

richard ryan| 5.1.12 @ 10:18AM

I've watched a fair amount of Beck and don't remember him yelling much at all. Bill (I'm for the folks/Far right is just as bad as far left) OReilly is the screamer of the Fox News folks. BTW, his 2008 interview with Obama was THE WORST interview I have ever seen. It was as if he and Obama got together before the interview and scripted it in BHOs favor.

TLP| 5.1.12 @ 11:01AM

You know, Appleby, you really need to Broaden your Horizons. Even the lowly Caterpillar comes out of his Cocoon, once a year.

As far as Ed Schultz is concerned, I believe that there's much more to this whole situation. There seems to be an ongoing battles between the Forces of Darkness, and the Forces of Light.

Bill Clinton used to be Pro-Life. Al Gore used to be Pro-Life. They were TURNED by the Dark Side. They would Renounce their Christian Belief that Life begins at Conception, in exchange for Money, and Power, and The Whole World.!

Joe Scarborough used to be a Conservative. He was a Member of the Conservative Class of 1984. He was a good ole boy from the Redneck Riviera/Trailer Park Capitol of the Florida Panhandle. Now, he looks in to the Camera and tows his Liberal Master's Political Line, like he's making a Hostage Video, after years of constant contact with STOCKHOLM SYNDROME.

Being a House Rep was hard. Sitting next to the Pretty Daughter of the Jew Hater Jimmy Carter's, Jew Hating NSA Director, every morning, is easy. And, all he had to do to get this sweet gig, was to sell his Core Beliefs, down the River. And, why not. He's got a Show of his own. A lotta Money. He's got The Whole World.

He just LOOKS like he sets off an Amber Alert, every time he leaves his house.

What's an Immortal Soul, compared to that?

Which brings us to our Hero.

There's a reason that the Nation of Islam and The Black Panthers do most of their "Recruiting" in the Prisons.

Same goes for the Biker Gangs and the Skinheads.

They're looking for someone who's looking for ANYONE, that will take him in to their Group. Whatever it is.

"Hey, you. You wanna join our Gang? We got Guns and Drugs, and you'll have more sex than a 30 Year Old SL*T, at Georgetown. Whaddaya say?"

"Do I get to kill English?"

Sorry. Wrong Movie.

5 Minutes of watching Pugsley, is all anyone needs, to come to the conclusion that THIS GUY has no friends. THIS GUY has probably NEVER had any friends. He doesn't get invited to Parties. He's never had a Dog (For Dinner, or otherwise) and if by some Clerical Error, he ever did receive an Invitation in the Mail? It ended with him being dragged out by the Cops, with Puke running down his tie, after shoving his hand up the front of The Brides' Gown.

If this Doche Bag is only #3?

Where does that leave Dylan, and Hag Face, and the Kitchen Cynk? Let alone, piss down his leg - Bromance Boy - Mathews?

Occam's Tool| 5.1.12 @ 1:35PM

You know, Ed is from Fargo, a decent city populated by decent people. I like Fargo, and on my vacation in two weeks, hope to get out there for a few days to try out the Hodo restaurant and the Prime Steak restaurant, Redford's (no relation, I believe).

TLP, can you imagine how lonely it must be to be from Fargo if you're Ed Schultz?

TLP| 5.1.12 @ 1:58PM

I wouldn't worry too much.

I'm pretty sure that he's got MIRRORS all over his house.

You the Man, O.C.

TLP| 5.1.12 @ 7:29PM

Occam. C'mon!

He got thrown out by the Cops, with Puke running down his tie, after shoving his hand up the front of the Brides' Gown. That's Gold, baby.

Occam's Tool| 5.1.12 @ 11:03PM

I bow to you, TLP.

Cal| 5.15.12 @ 9:21PM

Joe Scarborough never stopped being conservative, dimwit. And being anti-abortion is not a good thing.

Appleby,
Was watching a 1975 Kojak . He parked on a Manhattan street in front of "Appleby books."

Bill Hussein O'Stalin| 5.1.12 @ 7:49AM

Schultz is selling anger just like Keith Olbermann. The public sees enough of that in their private lives. That's why Schultz is failing, he's promoting a defective product.

Jim | 5.2.12 @ 1:01PM

Absolutely correct, Bill. If Schultz spoke in a quiet, measured tone, it would be even easier to see than it already is that there is nothing in between his ears.

therealguyfaux| 5.3.12 @ 4:36PM

Actually, at one time some years ago, after his "Damascus" conversion to being Leftie but before hosting his own show, he used to appear as a "voice of the heartland"-type pundit on M(ostly)S(ocialist)NBC and actually spoke in a conversational tone and actually attempted to make his points without a lot of personal invective. He was either a phony then, or he is one now, in terms of his broadcasting demeanor; I'm put in mind of the late and unlamented Morton Downey, who was the same sort of ideologue-for-hire who could turn the abuse up full from 0 to 60 in half a second. As it happens, Downey was a fairly personable if insincere human being and didn't begin to believe all the ideology, but just decided to cash in by being nasty. Schultz is no different.

Mr ED| 5.1.12 @ 7:57AM

Yikes, that face! He looks like Charles Emerson Winchester from MASH. The perpetually outraged face, narcissistic self-centered attitude and fire-breathing diatribes against, well, anyone who is not him.

I guess that would make Maddow his Hot Lips?

Easy stomach, easy.

A Grin without a Cat| 5.1.12 @ 11:08AM

The comparison is inapt. Charles Emerson Winchester had wit.

Occam's Tool| 5.1.12 @ 1:36PM

Winchester was also a very competent surgeon.

Mrs. Vito| 5.1.12 @ 2:00PM

spike59| 5.2.12 @ 6:20AM

well, of course he does!

P.Smith| 5.1.12 @ 8:13AM

That first quote by GQ at the beginning is very true in my case: The only time I have watched Ed Schultz’s show is when I have turned on a television and for some reason it was on MSNBC and his show was scheduled. I don’t think I have ever watched him, or for that matter much of anything on that station, more than a minute before turning the channel.

spike59| 5.2.12 @ 6:22AM

watching Angry Ed babbling on those 'PMSNBC' ads: "MSNBC-tipping over on our left side is 'leaning forward' in our tiny brains" is more than my stomach will handle

BEWAREFALSEGODS| 5.1.12 @ 8:52AM

In my dealings with Playboy Playmates of the Decade and porn stars, (I did train in Los Angeles), I found that they were easy to deal with if you treated them like human beings, not stroke material.

M. De Young| 5.1.12 @ 9:06AM

Yes, I've heard Ed Schultz's comments in snippets when they're played on conservative talk shows, and the man's attempts to entertain are pathetic. As dumb as Ted Nugent's comments were, and he's paying the consequences for them, at least he's able to win back lost respect-though that won't be easy. I don't see Ed Schultz getting any respect.

Cuffs| 5.1.12 @ 9:13AM

Mr. Ed, Mr(s)Maddow and Olby are

bunch!

David W| 5.1.12 @ 9:19AM

This is why the left wants to pass laws that will create "fairness" on the internet, TV, and radio. They know their ideas can't compete so they try to stifle the opposition (God knows why so many people vote liberal/leftist if so few listen the liberal/leftist mouthpieces like Olbermann, Maddow, and Schultz).

Purp| 5.1.12 @ 9:22AM

Oh, yeah, GQ magazine - a gay man's paradise - and you use that as a source to criticize "anyone"? Why are YOU reading GQ? Hmmm?
Wow, Ed Schultz must really be getting to you righties. To write about him here means he's made it - he is influential or you wouldn't bother. Congratz Ed!

Is man not part of nature, or do you have a bipolar worldview???

Purp| 5.1.12 @ 11:05AM

Is that what you do when you say "No"? Certainly not me ...
I'll answer your riddles when Richie Romney releases the same # of Tax returns that his papa did before an election.
Does it make you feel good to call other people names? That is soooo mature of you.

Jim | 5.2.12 @ 1:05PM

"Soooo"? Also mature, if your idea of maturity is...oh, forget it. No sense arguing with someone who thinks with his (???) spleen. Of course, lacking a brain, what else can you do?

Schultz-'Bill'-Schultz Wasserman-Positive,

MM staff reminds you Herr S insists you make no mistake while not resting and being perfectly clearly focused like a laser on nothing but forward winning the future that can't wait blaming Bush, that the expression is 'once you go commie you'll never switch to Romney', not 'once you go commie you'll switch to Romney'.

MM staff also reminds you that back when you put up your beloved 'born this way' poster in your bottom rung MM mindless retarded parrot cubicle, MM staff told you, Jaquelina Moscow Pansy Pink Putz Pantywaste Pelosi, that your idol laddy gaggag was a triple threat - hideous, talentless, and degenerate - despite never having heard of it before, and based only on the look of it from your beloved poster.

so it seems in the end thaty sgt shultz is another loser suffering from peenus envy. Seems the left fails to learn that being erratic isn't the same as giving rational commentary

yet it raises a question, what is it about the left's audience they they like seeing these idiots act like rabid dogs

I mean if they are defending the most brilliant guy ever elected potus, who was dubbed the messiah, okay that was done a looney racist, but still promised to lower the tides and heal Gaia, something is seriously off message

seems the guy elected isn't very bright, can't stop talking about hisself and can't run on his record of failure

not that it matters to pit bulls like sgt shultz, aka I know nothing

Then there is the slobbering Chris Matthews who would hump Obama's leg every chance he got if he could replace Bo as the Presidential pet.

What Fortuitous Event Be This| 5.1.12 @ 11:08AM

It just so happens - Bo is missing - and all that remains are his dog toys, and oddly enough, some well polished bones resembling a complete skeleton - and a bottle of pomegranate catsup.

Chrissy the Sissy can tingle that baby away!

Listen, Jimmy, you never heard this from me, and don't ask me how I know, I mean, it's a can't miss opportunity to make some serious amount of milkbones, if you know what I mean. I can get you in for a small investment fee Jimmy, just let me know by wiring $6,000 to 'dogsareangelstoo@exconentrepreneur'.
Remember, you didn't get this from me, and don't use my name, but you can see it just so happens there is a wide selection from which to choose at

Hell, Jimmy, what are friends for, make it $4500, since I already charged some really fine female Colombian entertainment to a credit card of yours I just happened to have on me. Later, Jimmy, you won't regret it. If any official type dudes claiming they're from any Cartagena law enforcement agencies ask you don't know me. I had to give them a legitimate phone number and I wasn't going to give them mine. After you wire me the money don't forget you owe me a really big favor this time.

Jeffrey, great one as usual and thanks! Ed and his equally insane fellow TV hosts of MSNBC are as you indicate, highly paid prostitutes without a decent message. The reason why this network and others similar have toilet bowl ratings is that their constituencies/audiences are STUPID mostly. If one discounts academia and NE liberal college graduates [the Kennedy crowd], what's left? Hollywood? Has anyone seen their recently produced movies? Their target audience is apparently five year olds with scooters. ther is no more '''''acting''''' by actors.....it's all outerspace shoot-em-up-techno-bang-bang crap of the Green Hornet variety [why waste $8 to see excrement?]. The residual audiences of liberal TV network programming are morons like Purp, Alan etc that are too stupid to think for themselves [and rely on these Ed's to propagandize-brainwash their thought processes]. MSNBC just like Air America rely on forced liberal donations in order to pay their bills, since their target audiences are just plain stupid and wouldn't understand the messages Schultz, Maddow, Matthews, Olbermann etc are providing [and are too busy instead watching Hollywood produced Green Hornet movies instead]!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sgt. Spittle used to come on the radio after Rush before his current inexplicable television run. It always sounded like he was listening to Rush before his own show and had convinced himself that he could be a mirror image of Rush. His lack of talent, however, was on display every time he opened his gaping maw. Someone should have told him that being smarmy, snotty, ill-informed and really really bad at delivering sarcasm is no way to go through life. It seems as if the left is so desparate to have a real success on talk radio that they are drawing their talent(?) from trolls like the ones tugging at the coattails of this site. A sanitized compilation of every utterance from Spittle since he's been on air would consist of "You people are all a bunch of poo-poo heads".

I don't know much about Ed Schultz & what he's up to these daya as I don't get MSNBC as part of my cable package up here in Canada (you have to pay extra for it & i can't be bothered) but on the basis of this article I he sounds like the living embodiment of the Peter Principle. Way back when (more years than I care to admit) he was the back-up QB for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers of the Canadian Football League for a few seasons and did a reasonably competent job when called upon. He then became the sportscaster for one of the big 3 network affiliates in either Fargo or Grand Forks (this was the late 70's/early 80's if I recall accurately) and he was actually pretty good. Should have stuck to his strengths I guess...

Citizen Jerry| 5.1.12 @ 12:17PM

Not very influential, but he sure is loud about it. Proudly proclaiming his ignorance, I suppose.

Petronius| 5.1.12 @ 12:40PM

I hear there are pictures and posters of Ed Schultz all over every state between the Mississippi and the Rockies stating the legend "Do not feed the Schultz", followed by the numbers and e-mail addresses of the local Game Wardens so that he can be tranquillized and sent to Chicago.

Shiori| 5.1.12 @ 12:55PM

Schultz probably thought that being a conservative radio host would mean instant big bucks, like Limbaugh. But he didn't enter into the equation his own natural suck factor. It hardly matters what Schultz says he believes because it's always going to be disingenuous. Conservatives didn't want him, so he camped in the Left's dumpster hoping for some charity - and that's what he got. Union money, Media Matters money, but not a nickel of earned money. Just the devoted tithing of a tiny bitter minority of connected radical left wing mouth breathers desperate to keep class envy and racial tension alive and festering in America. What a rag-tag group of ugly trolls.

Brad| 5.1.12 @ 7:51PM

It wasn't big bucks for Rush early on, either. He had to work for it for a number of years....

Ken| 5.1.12 @ 2:59PM

Wasn't this guy Schultz on Hogan's Heroes? Wasn't his catch phrase, "I know nothing, nothing." Sure sounds like the same guy as Ed Schultz is sure a know-nothing.

Dick Nome | 5.1.12 @ 3:30PM

John Banner had a personality. This Schultz doesn't.

Richard Baker| 5.1.12 @ 6:27PM

Heard the expression where it's better to be quiet and thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt. Shultz is the living embodiment of that maxim.

Brad| 5.1.12 @ 7:44PM

Because liberalism has a long and decided track record in inducing poverty and hunger AROUND THE WORLD.

There, FIFY.
Cheers.

JL| 5.1.12 @ 8:30PM

The story of Ed's life is he's destined to be a big fish in a small pond. He was a successful sportscaster in Fargo, but could never make the jump to Minneapolis or ESPN. And he was bitter about that. Now he's a whale on PMSNBC. Perhaps this is karmic payback for when I asked him for a job in Fargo when I got out of college and he was ruder than he needed to be.

Occam's Tool| 5.1.12 @ 11:07PM

TLP, Nick: Love you guys. Live long and prosper. Signing off for tonight.

Lonnie Wild| 5.2.12 @ 1:47PM

I've been a big fan of Ed's for years. Who the fuck are you?

Indrid Cold| 5.3.12 @ 2:40AM

Every cafeteria at Microsoft has several large flat screen televisions mounted to the walls, and almost all play MSNBC all day. The few that don't show ESPN. Even the mostly liberal employees at Microsoft are uncomfortable with the Orwellian ambience. At the very least, the thuggish bluster of Red Schultz, as well as the rest of the PMSNBC conga line of freaks, can snuff one's appetite right out.

Nixonfan| 5.3.12 @ 10:37PM

OK, here is the reason why liberal programming doesn't sell: You can't sell a product that is being dumped on the market for free. Liberals already have PBS, NPR, NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN. The market is flooded with liberal thought. It has no scarcity or shock value, unlike right-wing programming ("Are they really allowed to say that?").

Howard| 5.10.12 @ 9:33PM

Ed Schultz is not only a blowhard, but apparently a phony as well. I watch MSNBC frequently, and they are so left wing that Katrina Vanden Heuvel of The Nation appears moderate. What a freak show!
