52. Self-centered loudmouth.....Trump Light

Mar 2018

When Air America stations had to replace AL Franken, Thom Hartmann got the covered 12-3 (Eastern) time slot in most markets. Schultz was furious. He spent months screaming about how he deserved the chance to out-shout Rush Limbaugh.

His brief gig at MSNBC received underwhelming ratings. Eddy retreated to radio, and gravitated toward his anger instead of conviction. Full of himself, the man seldom did his homework and often spewed fake facts. His research team was abysmal. It was the perfect recipe for a right-wing hack.

Sorry Eddy. You lost me ten years ago.
