Ed Schultz Cuts Off Interview After Heated Exchange With MSNBC Colleague

Immediately following the president’s hour-plus long press conference Thursday, MSNBC commentators began parsing what Obama had to say. And they didn’t all agree. For example, Dylan Ratigan was quite critical of the president while Ed Schultz thought it was a “home run.” And as many know, there’s no better TV than watching Ed Schultz get fired up. He did. So much so that he ended up cutting the segment short.
Mediaite explains the blow-by-blow:
Responding to Ratigan’s framing of the American Jobs Act as a dud for both sides, Schultz tried to explain that “you can’t do this overnight.”
When Ratigan tried to interrupt, Schultz was having none of it. Ratigan protested, “but I want to address…” to which Schultz replied, “I don’t care what you want to address, I didn’t interrupt you!”
Ratigan apologized, and a piqued Schultz paused, and before continuing, asked, “Do I have the floor?”
[..]
Ratigan, again, cut in. “Ed, did you hear what I just said?”
Schultz replied, “I gotta go back and do my radio show, I’m not going to be interrupted by Dylan,” and ended his participation in the segment.

Posted on October 6, 2011 at 2:47pmUnbelievable how stupid, (yes stupid is the only word that can explain the man we know as Ed Schultz) is. Greatest press conference this president has had? Not even close. He had to talk around the Solyndra and Fast n Furious question, he talked around the Wall Street protesters question and he continued to stumble his way through his own talking points about his jobs bill that his very own party will not vote on. It won’t happen over night? It won‘t happen in his first term at prez I’m guessing. If he is give another 4 years do you think it will help? Not likely. But my favorite comment of Ed’s is where is the republican plan? It’s called the Ryan plan is it not? I mean you can completely disagree with the plan that’s fine but you can’t make the statement that there is no plan when there clearly is one unless you are completely fine with flat out lying which we all know Ed does and is really his only tactic. I mean he can’t even take a little debate with a guy that was agreeing with him for the most part for crying out loud. The fact that Ed has an audience all be it small is just plain sad. Our country has too many sheeple that buy into anything they are spoon fed no matter how crappy it tastes.

MSNBC‘s rating are so far down in the basement they’re beginning to collect mildew.
This…as in other ploys…..is just an attempt to gain attention, hoping viewership will increase.
They want people to tune in expecting to see outlandish fighting and arguing, because they can’t get enough to watch and listen to their leftist drivel.
Kramer does the same on CNBC. They‘re all a bunch of phonies that can’t draw interest when they espouse their unpopular views.

I like many of Ron Paul’s ideas but his take on foreign policy scares me. Normally I would agree with you that he doesn‘t have a chance of getting the nomination but I would have bet a lot of money four years ago that McCain didn’t have a prayer either.
I’ll be voting for Gary Johnson in our primary. The only person with a proven 8 year record of limiting government at every turn. I don‘t understand why people are willing to take a chance on people that don’t have such a long proven record of conservatism.

Posted on October 6, 2011 at 2:37pmThis jobs bill is nothing more than another boondoggle that specifically takes more bloated government spending which specifically benefits compensating unions and bigger government with more bureaucratic oversight. The tax cuts still do not address the real problem of conducting structured tax reform as corporate taxes still remain noncompetitive as one of the highest rates in the world.
