MSNBC's Ed Schultz apologizes for Laura Ingraham "slut" remark.

I've listened to Ed Schultz since his first radio show. Since then he has expanded his show and is now a host on MSNBC. One think about Ed, he is straight forward, and sometimes he is wrong. But unlike others in the business, when he is wrong, he stands up and admits it.

On his show Ed called Laura Ingraham, a right wing, talking, hole in the face, a "slut". Whether you agree that she is a right wing slut and deserves to be called one, isn't up for debate, but the fact that he did it, got him a week without pay but not before he apologized to women, Ingraham, and MSNBC. If Rush, Ingraham, Hannity, or Beck apologized for inappropriate remarks, that is all they would be doing. But don't hold your breath. They are nothing but right wing sluts and the right wing demands inappropriate remarks.

Ed's comments were inappropriate. He deserves a week off, but I applaud him for standing up and admitting his mistake. From Raw Story:

No you haven't, unless you've been listening to him for three decades, and I can't imagine anyone would do that.

So you agree that the comments were inappropriate, and you made the same comment.

You agree that he made a mistake, and you made the same mistake.

You agree that he was right to apologize for it, and you're not apologizing for it.

Are you able to hear anything over the cognitive dissonance?
