The sadly-obligatory "Ed Schultz calling Laura Ingraham a slut" entry

[dark-weezing.livejournal.com]

Apparently, MSNBC's Ed Schultz had called Laura Ingraham a "right-wing slut" and "talk slut" on his radio show, recently. He is now suspended for a week without pay, so. Allahpundit will guide you in on essential commentary and details:

He’s been on thin ice before and still they promoted him from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. after Olby left, so take that “will not be tolerated” language for what it’s worth. Even so, volunteering for a suspension to show contrition is smart damage control, especially since it sets him up for a disquisition on tonight’s show about the evils of sexism and how even the righteous, otherwise immaculate progressive mind can occasionally fall prey to them. That’ll polish his cred with his audience and restore him to the state of indignant moral superiority he needs to sit in judgment of the right.

Exit quotation from Laura Ingraham: “I was surprised to learn that Ed Schultz actually hosted a radio show. Is it only available online?”

I'll leave the matter to the rest of you, so go and sound off.

Update: Video of his official apology is available:
