What Did Ed Say To Warrant This Apology & What Caused Him To Say It.....

[global1]

From what I'm gathering here is that Ed on his radio show called Laura Ingrahmn a slut or something like that. I'm curious as to what did Laura Ingrahmn do to cause Ed to say what he said? And really - what exactly did Ed say?

I haven't been able to listen to Ed's radio show lately - so I'm not sure when this all transpired or what he said. I'm sure I'm not the only one here on DU that doesn't have the foggiest.

Will someone please bring us up to speed.

6. That's it. Nothing to it. He called Laura Ingraham a slut.

And of course, the right-wing media machine instantly slaps him with a week suspension for using slightly salty language.

Meanwhile. Rush can play "Barack the Magic Negro" on his show over and over with impunity.

7. I would guess that the fact that people generally choose gender-based insults when insulting women

is the reason he called her a slut. :shrug:
