Battle of the loudmouths
Apparently, talk show loudmouth Ed Schultz and funnyman Jon Stewart are feuding, sorta. You've probably seen the hilarious Daily Show clip. In it, Stewart skewers MSNBC for diminishing the nation's political discourse when it fired Keith Olbermann. You see, the other hosts on MSNBC's bench are just not bombastic enough to fill Olbermann's shoes, Stewart lamented (tongue in cheek). Though Schultz got points for being duly overbearing, Stewart concluded that, like Limbaugh, he was just another "heavy set man who shouts at you." Schultz took umbrage at this and tweeted: "So ... Jon Stewart thinks I'm too loud ... o.k. big guy ... I'll stay quiet if they ship your ass to China." It proves yet again that Schultz is not only a heavy-set-man-who-shouts-at-you, but also a very thin-skinned one to boot.
