Beck Laughs at ‘No-Talent Slug’ Ed Schultz over Tweets to Blaze Employee

The Blaze’s Dan Andros wrote this morning that MSNBC host Ed Schultz sent him some weird late night DMs on Twitter. See, what apparently happened was that Schultz tweeted out something about “shady” deals Scott Walker‘s been connected to. Andros decided to flip the tables on Schultz, but actually got an answer from the MSNBC host.

Andros shot back with a tweet linking to a Forbes article about how well-off Beck is and left Twitter alone for a while. In the intervening time, Schultz deleted his response, followed Andros on Twitter, sent him two DMs at 1:33 in the morning, and then deleted them. However, Andros still got the e-mail notifications so he was able to see Schultz’s tweets.

Andros recounted the whole thing on Glenn Beck‘s radio show today, and the reaction from Beck and his co-hosts was nothing short of pure, off-the-wall laughter. Beck called Schultz really sad, while his co-hosts joked he must have been drunk or something.

Beck asked, “What makes a man, besides rage, write something like that then delete it?” Pat Gray called Schultz a “no-talent slug” who probably did it because he’s jealous of Beck’s success.
