MSNBC Suspends Libtalker Ed Schultz

Apologizes On-Air

Left-leaning Ed Schultz has been suspended from MSNBC for referring to fellow radio host Laura Ingraham as a “right-wing slut” and “talk slut” on his syndicated show Tuesday, according to a story at The Hollywood Reporter.



In a statement released Wednesday, the cable channel said: “MSNBC management met with Ed Schultz this afternoon and accepted his offer to take one week of unpaid leave for the remarks he made yesterday on his radio program. Ed will address these remarks on his show tonight, and immediately following begin his leave. Remarks of this nature are unacceptable and will not be tolerated.”

The remark came as Schultz was taking aim at Ingraham over her criticism of President Obama's trip to Ireland -- where he apparently enjoyed a beer -- while the Midwest was experience severe weather, including devastating tornadoes.
