Fresh off his suspension and own TV apology for calling Laura Ingraham a “slut,” MSNBC host Ed Schultz called on Rep. Anthony Weiner to resign.
According to Schultz, the Weiner scandal has now become a distraction from the real issues like jobs and health care. And there’s only one person who can “make this go away” and “end this story.” Schultz even went as far as to call out Weiner’s character, saying that Weiner hasn’t taken full responsibility because he only came forward when it was obvious he was caught.
“You’ve go to take one for the team, the country, your constituents, your party… ” Schultz said, later adding that, “if you believe in yourself, you will resign, and you will come back and run again in 20112 because that’s what the taxpayers deserve.”
Schultz also wondered if Weiner keeping his job would ever happen in the real world. You can watch Schultz’s somewhat surprising roast below:

Posted on June 7, 2011 at 8:48amShow him the way and take the lead Mr Ed. Quit your day job and maybe Weiner will follow. Take one for your team as well. Personally, I hope he sticks around so we have something to laugh at on a daily basis. The next time he touts Obamacare (while pushing for waivers for his constituents) we can just interupt and ask if he has, “a raging hard on” at the moment. I guarantee it would shut him up everytime. New York….this guy represents you to a tee. You should be proud you elected him.

Weiner….do you really expect that folks will believe your truly sorry?…..or is it like most who are only sorry they got caught?…..I think your mouth overloaded your arrogant behind when you made that “I was hacked” comment. It has now caught up with you and you can’t unwind yourself from your own trap…and now your own are turning on you to devour you….the left will put up with much, but they can’t abide a dummy exposing the weakness of their underbelly.

Posted on June 7, 2011 at 7:41amThe fact that Weiner is a pervert doesn’t bother me as much as the fact that he lied about it mitigated by the fact that he tried to blame a hacker (whom he insinuated is Conservative0 for the whole thing. He was also embarassed because he was caught. Do not these facts also make him ripe for blackmail? He should not be allowed to resign but should be fired.

Posted on June 7, 2011 at 7:41amBill O’Reilly played 2 clips of NBCs Brian Williams, one showed Williams saying he WON’T cover Weinergate because he had more newsworthy stories to cover and the other showed Williams touting how Sarah screwed up with ‘bell or lantern’ on the Paul Revere comment ….. come on guys…. How can we trust the 2012 election without you….. HA HA HA HA
Brian, you are a disgrace as a journalist.. and Sarah was correct in your facts about Paul Revere but if she didn’t get the bell/lantern correct, is that the biggest news story that NBC could come up with.. just in case he didn’t notice, the world is on fire.

Posted on June 7, 2011 at 8:07amWell I don’t believe what I just heard. Ed Shultz Made Sense.Maybe his week off did him good. I am shocked to see that he would ever make sense on anything. I think this is a first. Of course Weiner “Should” resign but that pompous a$$ will not. I have been surprised also that people are talking about how important “He” is. I didn’t know that either. All I have ever seen of him is when he comes on TV and makes a fool of himself, like the interview with Megyn Kelly. I have never seen anything good about him. I also cannot believe “anyone” would consider him“sexy” he is just a dried up arrogant noisy little twit.

Just used to him throwing bombs at us. My God can you imagine the vanity of this guy? scanned the channels last night when Spitzer was doing the story, he rolled on his back, head down and tail betweeen his legs to talk about it.
