So much for civility, at least at MSNBC – the home of the “Lean Forward” mantra.

On his Tuesday radio program, liberal talker and MSNBC host Ed Schultz took a shot at conservative talk show host Laura Ingraham for her criticism of President Barack Obama’s trip to Ireland, where he enjoyed a Guinness, while the Midwestern United States was being hit by severe weather. (h/t Brian Maloney, the Radio Equalizer)

“And what do the Republicans thinking about?” Schultz said. “They’re not thinking about their next-door neighbor. They’re just thinking about how much this is going to cost. President Obama is going to be visiting Joplin, Mo., on Sunday but you know what they’re talking about, like this right-wing slut, what’s her name?, Laura Ingraham? Yeah, she’s a talk slut. You see, she was, back in the day, praising President Reagan when he was drinking a beer overseas. But now that Obama’s doing it, they’re working him over.”

He may now be "former MSNBC host"...

This is MSNBC we are talking about. He needs to call her a slut for about 5 more years before they do anything. Look how long they let that jackass, Keith O., stay on the air.

And to be fair to Ed, this was said on his radio show.

With regard to the double standard, he does have a point.

He may have had a valid point, but calling her a slut most certainly doesn't help his cause or illustrate the double standard.

Hopefully she will sue him for slander.

Why would she want to waste all that money on a lawsuit that she would lose?

Slander: Oral communication of false statements injurious to a person's reputation.

Truth is the defense against suits for slander. And one of the connotations of the word "slut" is "a coarse obnoxious person."

Ed Schultz would have a very easy time proving that Ingraham can truthfully be termed a slut.

They've called Obama every name in the book but they get their panties in a wad when someone responds in kind. Bunch of crybabies.

I think Ed Shultz' insult is nasty because it's gender-specific.

Gender or race specific insults are generally perceived as nastier than normal insults*.

*Unless you're insulting a white male.
