In a speech at Minnesota progressive talk radio AM950’s Blue State Bash, MSNBC's Ed Schultz pulled back the curtain on an off-camera exchange he had with White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs. The host of The Ed Show says Gibbs dropped an "F-bomb" on him, but only after Schultz launched an "S-rocket" of his own.

On radio's The Ed Schultz Show yesterday, the MSNBC host seemed to be feeling the heat of the impending Massachusetts election to fill the Senate seat of the late Ted Kennedy. Tuesday's tight race -- between Democract and state attorney general Martha Coakley and Republican Scott Brown -- threatens a Senate seat that has belonged to a Democrat for over half a century.

video Conservative radio icon Rush Limbaugh is part of a team of investors that may buy the NFL franchise St. Louis Rams, and since the news broke the story has taken on a life of its own. Active players and the head of the NFL Players union are speaking out against the move, and cable news networks across the board are debating the possibility. But when push comes to shove, is all the uproar just hype? (more...)

After a summer dominated by "Death Panels" and Glenn Beck wackiness, it appears that the left is striking back. On the heels of Greenpeace's news-making protest stunt, MSNBC host Ed Schultz has spun a gem of a sound bite for the right to chew on. Last night on The Ed Show, he warned viewers that Republicans "want to see you dead! They'd rather make money off your dead corpse!" (more...)
