What would be the only thing funnier than Fast Eddie Schultz – the liberal talk show host who really was as dumb as liberals think conservative talk show hosts are – trying to make it as a big-time political player and kingmaker?
“I feel like I am perfectly positioned with my national platform, with my name and visibility and credibility with the middle class, to be the person to head up this super PAC,” he told told the Fargo Forum. “We are a 527; we are a nonprofit; we are incorporated in Washington, D.C., and we are going to get involved in issues around the country that are vital to a strong middle class, with our focus on jobs and wages, health care, education, trade agreements and justice.”
“Middle class issues are here to stay,” Schultz continued.
The answer is “Schultz, inevitably and comically, not merely flopping at it, but cratering worse than the movie Truth” (emphasis added):
According to Mediate, Schultz ran up $10,345.44 in legal fees, $3,000 in web design fees, and a $100 loan and only collected $25 in donations to the organization which was apparently headquartered at a UPS store in downtown Washington D.C.
“It was well-intended, I really wanted to do Americans for a Strong Middle Class,” a tired-looking Schultz said in a video explaining why the PAC crashed and burned.
It just hasn’t been Schultz’s decade.
Who could have foreseen such a thing?
Ed Schultz is a classic jerk ass.
His demise at MSDFL was hastened by his treatment of his producers and staff. He always thought he was kind of a big deal.
I guess the middle class saw that he wasn’t one of them, because he hasn’t exactly been living check to check.
You mean the Ed Schultz, who was once drunk and shot his dog?
Liberalism only works, Ed, with OTHER people’s money!
Shultz is the Emery of talk show hosts
Bosshoss; don’t you mean Schultz hasn’t exactly been missing meals? : ^)
And ten grand in legal fees for a little 527 headquartered in the UPS Store? Looks like he’s not just incompetent in radio and politics.
Swiftee; don’t you mean Doggone or Penigma?
