Cry of The Loon …(Peas In A Pod)

On last Thursday’s Ed Schultz Show, Ed interviewed Senator Dick Durbin. As he introduced Durbin to his audience Ed proclaimed, “And now I want to welcome my new hero, Senator Dick Durbin to the show.” He later asked Durbin if he was going to apologize for his remarks to which Durbin replied, “Apologize to this Administration for what I said …certainly not.” Ed responded by saying, “Great, you’re my type of Democrat.”

Well, a short 24 hours later Ed’s type of Democrat issued a statement apologizing for his pathetic remarks about the comparison of the treatment of prisoners at Gitmo to that of Russian gulags, Nazi death camps, and the killing fields of Vietnam. Laura Ingram called the apology more fake than a Chapaquitic neck brace. The apology by Durbin smelled like a politician trying to cover his political ass.

An ass is what Ed Schultz usually makes himself out to be every time he opens his mouth. Ed seems to think he understands what average everyday Americans are thinking. After his interview with Durbin on Thursday he said he felt Durbin was right for speaking out and was confident most of America agreed with him. When Ed prognosticates it is a good bet that he will end up with his foot in his mouth rather than being correct. It was he who confidently predicted Kerry and Daschle victories last November.

While it is humorous to see Ed’s predictions go completely wrong, it is embarrassing having him represent Fargo, the Red River Valley, and North Dakota to the listening public. His calling Durbin a hero humiliates everyone in this area. He continually calls Ted Kennedy one of his favorites and enjoys each opportunity to have Barbara Boxer on his show. People around the country must wonder if Fargo is just another Portland or Seattle. The time has come for Ed to leave. The images of the State of North Dakota, the city of Fargo, and the station of KFGO all suffer from the statements made by his loon. Durbin and Schultz are two peas in a pod. As big an embarrassment that Durbin is to the State of Illinois Schultz is to North Dakota. Durbin can be voted out of office while removing Schultz from this region need to be done through the protesting of the people who care about the image of the area from which he resides.
