is a little rare. When one wants to consider someone a total lying double agent that takes a lot of proof. Some of what is posted explains Ed very well.

So far, what it appears to be is a convert, or someone getting so much into the liberal game as to be sincerely part of it. But a convert always carries his past self with him in odd ways. That seems open too. A real actor would erase from his role all hints of his past, not be that odd amalgam, that creative new creature. Because the biggest danger for a double agent is crossing over, becoming the atrractive force of good, and never being trusted by the "dark side" again.

We have more trouble with campaign advisers and higher ups who truly are foxes in the henhouse at least by evidence of deeds and results. Schultz was to be the populist, center right link for the leadership Dems to the Reagan Dems and other voters. Not too deep in fact, as he has shown on many an occasion. His is unsteady relationship with Dean(not part of the dealmakers originally as per this post) seems part of the criticism, but in his defense- at the beginning- he has lambasted the weak leadership of the Democrats he favored on issues like Dubai. In other words, he is getting into the populist sincerity thing very passionately.

None of the talk show hosts are perfect- as we simmer here waiting for a genuine, free, national NEWS network. What we are getting instead are competing opinions in the wilderness of real national information all too often bouncing off the absurd failure known as the MSM, hardly a good starting point.

The personality and money competition tiffs are really small potatoes. As long as each host wakes up some faction of the people and gives them hope their interim task is fulfilled. When the political landscape is ever transformed they will have their real work cut out for them to find the harder research on substance and direction. Ed may be characterized as an a$$hole but he is ours.

In crises or outside crises it is easy in anger to use the two color brush and insinuate all sorts of dark conspiracy to highlight the contrast, but it is much more what you see is what you get and results are what one should focus on. Results are what we need not personality purity and word perfect.
