Here’s Ed Schultz pretending to be emotionally overwhelmed. Hilarious. Yet here he is on MSNBC with Alex Witt, revealing the fact that he’s been approached to run for Byron Dorgan’s senate seat.
Witt: We’re going back to Ed right now because you got a pretty important phone call, and what did they ask of you, the Democrat Party?
Schultz: Well, last night when Sen. Dorgan was talking to me, he asked me how old I was. And I went, “Uh-oh!”
Witt: This is not for a birthday card.
Schultz: Yeah, I did get a phone call this morning from Merle Boucher who is the House Democratic Leader and he asked me to consider to run for the United States Senate seat in the state of North Dakota. I asked him very point blank, “Is this an official ask?” He said, “Yes it is.”
Senator Edward (we assume he would begin going by the more formal name) Schultz. Funniest thing we ever heard. Except for when we heard that Al Franken was running for the senate. Anyone heard how that turned out?
By the way, has there ever been a senator with a stranger name than Byron Dorgan? It sounds like someone speaking nonsense Swedish.
OK, we’re done rambling now. We’ll stop.

Absolutely, and that is the problem in these and uncertain days of politics. Some of these chuckle head liberals (who use to be a conservative by the way) like Shultz, who you think would never even be considered as a write in candidate are capable of getting a political seat at the table.
Don't be surprised if Ed "I know nothing, nothing" Shultz is a sitting Senator or congressman someday. A sad thought indeed. I still can't believe that Stewart Smalley is a senator from Minnesota. Twilight zone anyone...
Great blog......

Yes, how about former Senator from North Dakota Quentin N. Burdick?
Ed bone up on Dem Politics for Success Manual: Always keep your hand out: Your memory selective: Your conscious idle: You're already the on the State's list of biggest dimwits and we would enjoy your humilation.
Don't laugh too hard. These tools managed to find enough votes in a car trunk to send Al Franken to the senate.
Exactly.
They are that desperate to get someone to move up to the frozen tundra they turned to Ed? Wow. There is hope for me to run the Cubs!
