Laura Ingraham to suspended Ed Schultz - I accept your apology

[RamboLiberal]

Laura Ingraham is taking the high road and accepting Ed Schultz's apology for calling her a "slut."

"Ed Schultz: Apology accepted," the conservative pundit tweeted on Thursday.

She addressed the issue again on her radio show even though "she didn't really want to discuss it."

-----

"Stuff is always said about me," she said. "…I thought so little about it, I didn't even mention it yesterday."

She also tweeted on his suspension "Oh great now his ratings will go up."

1. The "professional left" has one strength.

attacking their own.

Ingraham and her filth say horrible things every day for the past 25 years. They don't get suspensions, they get promotions. A liberal says one thing,
and gets suspended. The double standard is quite angering.

2. That's great; our reputation becomes an asset. n/t

[madrchsod]

5. you are right...

what he said was out of bounds but the over reaction is amazing on both sides.

at least laura more or less took the high road.

[Dawson Leery]

7. Listen to her show sometime. She

never takes the high road.

[RaleighNCDUer]

23. for the first time in her career. nt

[EFerrari]

21. That's right if you consider holding someone accountable for their behavior

an attack. :)

[damntexdem]

29. But it IS a strength.

And Ed played it perfectly.

[Ian David]

3. She totally wants to do him.

Sorry.

[madrchsod]

8. that`s an image that`s hard to imagine

[emilyg]

32. You should be sorry.

[DrDan]

4. "Jane, you ignorant slut" - and not once was Aykroyd suspended or requested to apologize

my how things have changed in the past couple of decades.


on edit - This is a joke - please do not take seriously. Did not think I would need to add a disclaimer,
but I was wrong.

[Dreamer Tatum]

6. If you can somehow prove that Ed was reading a scripted comedy routine

then you have a point. Otherwise, you are epic fail.

[Ian David]

13. "Who's on first, what's on second, Laura Inghram is a slut is on third." n/t

[DrDan]

16. it was a simple joke . . . geez louise

[Bake]

25. Obviously you have no sensayuma.

Just sayin'. GD takes itself way too seriously sometimes.

9. When did SNL's weekend update become a news program

:eyes:

[Ian David]

15. For some, it is...

(AP) Tom Brokaw, Peter Jennings, Dan Rather ... and Jon Stewart?

Readers over 30 might scoff at Stewart's inclusion - assuming they know who he is. For many under 30, the host of Comedy Central's "The Daily Show" is, improbably, a source for news.

A poll released earlier this year by the Pew Research Center for the People and the Press found that 21 percent of people aged 18 to 29 cited "The Daily Show" and "Saturday Night Live" as a place where they regularly learned presidential campaign news.

By contrast, 23 percent of the young people mentioned ABC, CBS or NBC's nightly news broadcasts as a source.

18. joke joke joke aaaaaargh

[meegbear]

10. Yeah, because a comedy sketch at 12:05 Sunday morning on NBC is the same as a daily radio show

But without the studio audience.

[DrDan]

20. DU has lost it's sense of humor . . . .

[Last_Stand]

22. DU had a sense of humor? n/t

[DrDan]

24. point taken

[Ian David]

12. Because Jane approved the script during rehearsal. n/t

[customerserviceguy]

31. Things have changed

I remember Chevy Chase and Richard Pryor doing a bit on SNL that involved a psychiatrist trying to free-associate, that had Chevy using the n-word. I can't imagine that going on today.

[meegbear]

11. Great! She moved on. He moved on. Can DU move on?

[leftstreet]

14. +1

I almost miss the circumcision threads

[CTyankee]

19. LOL...don't worry, one will be coming along any day now...they never seem to stop...

[emilyg]

33. +100

[Wait Wut]

17. Amazing.

He apologized like an adult.
She accepted like an adult and even made a funny.

The world hasn't stopped spinning. All is good in the universe.

[Warpy]

26. I hate anything that gives that wretched woman an opportunity

to look like an aggrieved party.

However, a suspension was overkill. The apology should have done it.

A right winger who says things like that just goes on his merry way without an apology or suspension. Look at Limbag and Beck, both of whom have called Democratic women whores.

28. isn't that gracious of her.

30. Did the Coultergeist ever apologize or suffer any consequences for

referring to Al Gore and John Edwards as faggots? I thought that was disgusting as hell.

While I'm not approving of what Ed called Laura, I don't remember the Coultergeist ever apologizing for using a highly inflammatory, insulting word.
