Cry of the Loon ...Ed Schultz (A Gun-Totin', Red Meat-Eatin' Liberal Fool)

Give Ed Schultz credit for one thing, he is a great self promoter. He will say anything, anytime, anywhere to get his mug more publicity. We all know the saying "even bad press is good press". Only in America can a fool of this magnitude go from local sports anchor to a national voice of the democratic party. At least when he was a sportscaster he actually knew something about the subject he was covering. See if you smell what I smell in these two examples: voice of Bison vs voice of the Sioux, conservative republican vs liberal democrat. Like the character Rod Tidwell from the movie "Jerry Maguire" said, "Show Me The Money!"

During the 2000 republican primary I remember seeing Ed schmoozing with fellow republican party members at the Doublewood Inn in Fargo. I remember hearing him tote the same message as Rush did on his show. I am sure that I remember a time when the 3 amigos (Dorgan, Condrad, and Pomeroy) would only show up on his show when there was a disaster in the Red River Valley. All those convictions changed the day his wife took him to visit a shelter or as I believe the day Scott Hennen brought his true Republican beliefs to Fargo? Again give him credit, Ed knew the Fargo market was not big enough for two conservatives, especially with one that had legitimate Washington connections. Someone had to change sides. In the name of ratings, which are all that matter to Mr. Ed Schultz, Ed did changed sides. Poof! Ed is a liberal! This seismic shift (joking) only caused a small ripple in his audience. Ed had always known that to be popular in Fargo you had to kiss the butt of local farmers, senior citizens, and the teachers union, all major listeners in Fargo. It just happened to be that these are the same main backers of the democratic party. As far as the quality of the radio show, nothing had to change. I am sure that Ed has never researched a topic indepth during his career on the radio. It takes much less effort to just let your audience educate you, and to portray yourself as a voice for the common man. Like the time a local farmer called in to his show during the month of May. Ed said hello, welcome to the show......what are you up to today? The farmer replied that he was in the field. Ed then asked him if he was COMBINING? The farmer screamed back WHAT? Ed said I asked if you are combining? The farmer, now sounding angry, said NO Ed I am SEEDING, it is MAY. I'll never forget that moment. This man, who knew so little about farming, was a few years later elected The Farmers Union Man Of The Year. Another great con job done by Mr. Schultz.

I always knew this guy was a snake, but I have often wondered how other conservatives who used to so loyally called Ed during his show felt the day the music died. I mean the day he jilted them at the alter of talk radio. Could they not tell that they weren't talking to a man with any absolute convictions, or for that matter, that he really wasn't that bright? They never got the feeling that this man would sell out his own mother in the name of ratings? He did switch to the Sioux. For many Bison fans that is like selling out your mother. Do Viking fans ever become Packer fans?

Now this self promoting loud mouth is the voice of the democratic party. The left's answer to Rush Limbaugh. I would agree, he has found a home. A flip flopper of his ilk should be the voice for the party of the numero uno Flip Flopper, John Kerry. Ed is a shallow fool and the only constant about him is "ME", what is best for him. You didn't have me fooled before, Ed, and you still don't. You are a fake, the other side can have you!
