As usual, the insults are flying between political talk show hosts. This week, MSNBC's Ed Schultz, a liberal talk show host, seems to feel very strongly about the sexuality of Laura Ingraham, a conservative.
“President Obama is going to be visiting Joplin, Mo., on Sunday but you know what they're talking about, like this right-wing slut, what's her name? Laura Ingraham?” Schultz said on his radio show. "Yeah, she's a talk slut. You see, she was, back in the day, praising President Reagan when he was drinking a beer overseas. But now that Obama's doing it, they're working him over."
Schultz was in the news not long ago for calling Republicans “bastards.”
Not one to turn the other cheek, Ingraham made this comment on her Facebook in response: “Re. the crude comments made about me by Ed Schultz on his radio program: First, I was surprised to learn that Ed Schultz actually hosted a radio show. Is it only available online? Second, I have to get back to recording the audio edition of my new book 'Of Thee I Zing.' Now I'm tempted to insert one additional zing—about men who preach civility but practice misogyny.”
MSNBC suspended Schultz for a week without pay and Schultz apologized on air Wednesday evening.
