These are the stories the staff of The Ed Show are keeping an eye on ...
- Ed called out conservative talk show host Neal Boortz last week for saying, “We need to see some dead thugs littering the landscape in Atlanta.” Now Boortz specifies: he meant black people.
- SCOTUS rules against women in the Wal-Mart discrimination cases.
- Glenn Beck shies away from Van Jones’ challenge.
- Senator McCain blames wildfires on illegal immigrants.



Arizona, Texas, New Mexico, and the Southern part of Colorado are very dry right now because of lack of rain. We have experiences a number of Fires in our forest and grasslands. I guess then the illegals have run all around toasting these states. The one In Arizona was started with one camper. Not an illegal. Dry lighting was credited with the ones in New Mexico and Colorado. Extremely high winds have driven these fires and made them difficult to control. Lack of rain has created the dry conditions. one one of these fires is even near the Mexican boarder....don't believe McCain's fantasies.
Thankful Mom, I respect John McCain, I didn't vote for him, but I respected him. I never thought he'd make such false statement as he did about the wild fires. Can't imagine what he was thinking.
Ed Schultz Backs
Down on Conservative Talk Show Debate Challenge
By P.J. Gladnick | September 19, 2007
On August 28, radio talk show host Ed Schultz, who has proclaimed that he became "converted" from conservative to liberal while eating a baloney sandwich with his future wife in a Salvation Army cafeteria, loudly issued a challenge to all conservative radio hosts to debate him. Since his show that day was simulcast by C-SPAN, the Big Eddy Challenge can be both seen and heard at almost 20 minutes into the third hour of his show:
...We'll stand up to any conservative talker anywhere in America who wants to have the guts to go head to head with me on your radio show, on your TV show, you conservatives, you're absolutely a bunch of damn liars and we're right back on the Ed Schultz show.
So what happened when a conservative talk show host took up the Big Eddy Challenge? Apparently Schultz hides behind his show's producer. Such was the case when Brian Craig, producer and co-host of The Steve Kane Show on WWNN 1470 AM radio in South Florida, attempted to arrange such a debate between Ed Schultz and Steve Kane.
Your humble NewsBusters correspondent heard Craig on the radio yesterday talking about the difficulties in arranging this debate with the Ed Schultz Show producer, James. I subsequently contacted Craig who gave me the latest account of James ducking the Big Eddy Challenge on behalf of his boss today:
I called James, Ed's producer right after our conversation. When he answered the phone and I told him who I was he took a deep breath, meaning why are you calling. I asked if he had talked to Ed about debating Steve. He said, "Look, I know what you all are about."
I said, "Really?"
"I know what you are trying to do, you are a bunch of scam job artists and Ed's not interested in that."
He started to hang up and I said, "Do you want me to pass that message along on the air?" He then hung up the phone.
Through the whole conversation he was annoyed.
So, Ed, who is the "damn liar" now? You clearly issued a challenge recently to go head to head with any conservative radio or TV talker yet you are continuing to hide behind your producer, James, to shoot down anyone who wants to debate you.
So until you agree to debate Steve Kane or any other conservative talk show host, your loud bluster will continue to be as full of baloney as that Salvation Army sandwich you ate when you had your political "conversion."

What's in Ed's head?? Well I think the same thing in his head is the same thing that's in his ass. Not brains or courage for sure.
Why isn't Neal Boortz booted like Don Imus was after Don made his "nappy-headed ho" remark on air?
Keith Olbermann had to apologize for using poor judgement, and then you had Ed Schultz having to apologize for using poor judgement... what's with you rabid far left wackos and your inability to be civil in these debates? You are all a laughing stock that the American people will vote out of office (again) in 2012.
