"Ed Schultz apologized for his comments about Laura Ingraham on Wednesday, before beginning a week-long suspension from MSNBC.
Appearing at the top of his Wednesday show, Schultz said that calling Ingraham a "right-wing slut" on his Tuesday radio show was "vile and inappropriate," and apologized unreservedly to her, as well as to his wife, his family and MSNBC.
"I am deeply sorry, and I apologize," he said. "It was wrong, uncalled for and I recognize the severity of what I said."
After learning of the comments, MSNBC met with Schultz and the two sides agreed that he would be suspended for a week without pay from his program."

You decide...perhpas Schultz went over the line...
...and certainly a private employer has the right to suspend him....
But as they say in my neighborhood 'not for nuttin,' I think we answer speech with which we disagree with what we consider correct speech.
1. Write, call, email, with disagreement.
2. Don't watch the program in question.
3. Have opinion shows hooked up so that emails run as the crawl under the pic, which would give immediate feedback of the type we have here. Software could remove offensive terms.
But I don't think we should be telling folks what they can or cannot say.
