How annoying is Ed Shultz today?

[Kira]

Anyone listening to his show today? It seems like he is really over the top with his self love fest today. (more than usual) Maybe he really feels insecure that Sen. Clinton won't meet with him.

1. NO more than usual

I hate that gasbag.

[Kira]

6. you made me laugh

[Danieljay]

8. That "Gasbag" as you call him happens to be reaching a very important population

within the Democratic Party, and maybe even some moderate Repugs. Be grateful, he's on our team.

10. I agree

but he is so over the top full of himself today. I like his show because he gets great interviews. However I thought he took it way too personally that she hasn't been on his show. She did a sit down with Keith last night and she has been on Al Franken I think. Instead of just saying in a nice way that he would like to help her by putting her on he made it seem as if she didn't go on his show she wouldn't be able to win. (personally I am waiting and hoping for Gore to get in the race) but I think he is being obnoxious about her not being on the show. Maybe she doesn't even know about it.

[Danieljay]

11. good point, and yes...I'd rather see Gore in the race than Ms. Clinton. n/t

12. He did the same thing to Howard Dean.

When Dean finally came on his show, Ed spent the first ten minutes berating him for taking so long to come on. I realize he has a large audience, but he sounds a lot like limbaugh and it kind of grates on my nerves. I also don't care for shows that are turned into sports analyses. That's not why I'm listening.

[Danieljay]

15. well its all about YOU ya know! Isn't it really about "us"?

Nothing personal, but hey, in all fairness, you don't like the show and its not why you are listening. I can honor that. Randi Rhodes gets on my nerves talking over everyone, but that doesn't mean she doesn't have her place. She's awesome in her own way.

But a lot of people DO love Ed Shutz and its why THEY are listening. He's not a Malloy, Rhodes, or Sedar, but hey..thats why he has his own show!

There is room for all and we need all to reach as many as we can!

PS: in reality, its really all about ME. Didn't you get the memo?

17. he has more crossover appeal than Al Franken while more consistently covering labor & trade

[Nimrod2005]

2. He has the thinnest skin on all radio...

[LisaM]

3. We get it tape delayed, so I can't comment yet

But really, Hillary should get on his show. Make no mistake, progressive radio made an enormous difference in the elections last fall.

4. I thought he was on fire today!

It was a good show. He did great on CNN and MSNBC last night.

[Danieljay]

5. I happen to like the guy. He reaches moderates and conservative Dems that progressives

would rather ignore or distance themselves from. There's room for all in the Democratic Party.

[Captain Hilts]

7. He's an ass whose speech patterns are identical to Limbaugh's. Gross. nt

[Danieljay]

9. that ASS is on our team. Why the anger? n/t

[obnoxiousdrunk]

13. Because he is not

as liberal as Noam Chomsky.

[Danieljay]

14. or as linguistically gifted? Thats it, Ed Shults sucks then. I'm convinced.

I'm just kidding ya know.

Ed, if you are out there, you meat eating gun toting (RED HEADED) not too far to the left lefty.... You Rock!

Keep doing what you do!

[obnoxiousdrunk]

16. I was just

kidding.I listen to him everyday.Like it or not he is the highest rated progressive show.

[Danieljay]

18. I know silly, so was I !!! what are you, some kind of obnoxious drunk?

[jumpoffdaplanet]

19. He is a moron, and nothing but a big ego

But sure to read Larry Johnson's take on that jerk.

It's all about Big Ego.
