MSNBC What is the Ed Show anyway?

- - - Doing right is even harder than it looks.

Who is Ed Shultz. He called Greta Van Sustern a 'slut'.  Sooo... 
Over the years he has done much much much muuuucchh worse.  If you are Andrew Ed Shultz (bad Karma) and or the oblivious holder of  several Guinness records for least knowledgeable on a number of topics, you never had much talent and you have your on gig on a failing network, your audience numbers are tanking, and you just need to chill out cause your wife reached some sort of conclusion
that she should have arrived at years earlier, what do you do?

Ed is the type of guy that would do this kind of thing:
Call a well known witty, salty, tough, attractive,  woman lawyer, author and Conservative pundit,  i.e., Greta a moderately insulting four letter word
that is not even considered an expletive most of the time,  e.g., 'slut'.   I think 'slut' is considered a pejorative in most cases.
Then 'unexpectedly',  Ed Shultz realizes that he,  the poster boy for propriety, crossed some sort of line.
Like he hasn't been so far over that 'line'   that he couldn't locate the 'line' with both hands and a GPS.

As if Ed Shultz has not  been over that 'line '  for his whole career.
Then Ed Shultz, the host of the 'Ed Show',  The Poster Boy for Propriety,  has an epiphany that
He, Ed Shultz, the soul of politeness, correctness and fair speech has erred, has made a mistake, a faux pas.   He, Ed Shultz must do more than publicly apologize on His own show,
 the very venue on which the faux pas occurred.  But Ed must do more;  He must take action to show that he is indeed sincere.  What better action than taking himself off the air.
 Ed Shultz must take Himself off the air for a long, long Memorial Day vacation.
Ed says to himself, " Aaaahh... life is sweet..."

And I think that is what he did.
