According to reports from the US Department of Labor, Ed Schultz, host of the Ed Show on MSNBC, collected over $250,000 from labor unions in 2012 and 2013. The loudmouth claims he handed that cash over to charity, although those numbers don't add up, according to Politico.
Schultz bellowed this summer, "I'm all about workers, I'm all about those folks who take a shower sfter work."
Is Schultz the Big Labor gift that keeps on giving? Another MSNBC lib, Chris Hayes, had this to say this summer, "Labor issues are getting more coverage than they've ever gotten before on cable news, first and foremost thanks to Ed Schultz, and then assisted by others of us who've taken up that mantle."
Schultz believes that unions should be exempt from the unpopular ObamaCare program. He's a protector of the unionized United Postal Service and opposes privatization of the money losing relic. And Schultz is a ardent supporter of Big Labor's Holy Grail, the grossly misnamed Employee Free Choice Act.
When Schultz was a little-known North Dakota broadcaster, he claimed to be a conservative. I suspect that he offered he offered his soul to the highest bidder, and the union bosses came up on top over the devil.
