Many DUers trashed Ed Schultz last Friday for not being on the air to cover Aurora

Now that we know about Wendy (we already knew it was a family member that was sick ), a few I'm sorry posts would be appropriate!

Those people were not trying to be mean to Ed and Wendy. They just need to hear him talk when things get crazy.

with his wife's ovarian cancer surgery, as he should have been; the last thing he should have been thinking about was what to say on his show. Sorry, but at that point, to him, I'm sure his wife was more important.

And he doesn't shy away from a fight.

I'm very sorry about Ed's wife.
