Ed Schultz Fills Out His Fox News Barack Obama Bracket-Bashing Bracket

With so much noise about President Obama‘s March Madness brackets, it was only a matter of time before liberal MSNBC host Ed Schultz delivered his own Baracketology meta-bracket. Keying off of Bill O’Reilly‘s denunciation of the bracket-fueled “industry of Obama-bashing,” Schultz presented his own rundown of Billo’s colleagues engaging in an Obama bash-off.

Schultz played a clip of O’Reilly denouncing the “industry of Obama-bashing,” and pointed out that O’Reilly’s own network is at the forefront of that industry by holding his own tournament. It was a funny bit, with a good premise (although he missed an opportunity by not dubbing it, simply, “Madness”), but I’m not really sure why Greta Van Susteren was included in Schultz’s tournament. Based on the clips he included, Greta didn’t present the President’s picks in any different a light than Schultz did when he conceded, “I’m not so sure I would have done it.”

I don’t want to spoil the suspense, but there was an odd moment when Schultz described tournament finalist Glenn Beck as the “Diaper Dandy.” Does Schultz know something I don’t? Paging David Vitter?

Here’s the clip, via MSNBC:
