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?<\/p>\n
\u201cI 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,\u201d he told \u00a0told the\u00a0Fargo Forum<\/a><\/em>. \u201cWe 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.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cMiddle class issues are here to stay,\u201d Schultz continued.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
The answer is “Schultz, inevitably and comically, not merely flopping at it, but cratering worse than the movie\u00a0Truth<\/em><\/a>” (emphasis added):<\/p>\n
According to Mediate<\/a>, Schultz ran up\u00a0$10,345.44 in legal fees, $3,000 in web design fees, and a $100 loan and only collected $25 in donations<\/strong> to the organization which was apparently headquartered at a UPS store in downtown Washington D.C.<\/a><\/p>\n
\u201cIt was well-intended, I really wanted to do Americans for a Strong Middle Class,\u201d\u00a0a tired-looking\u00a0Schultz said in a video<\/a>\u00a0explaining why the PAC crashed and burned.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
It just hasn’t been Schultz’s decade.<\/p>\n
