Finally! MSNBC suspends Ed Schultz for calling Ingraham a 'slut'

I was wondering yesterday just what it would take for MSNBC to discipline Ed Schultz for spewing such vulgar hatred on the air: The 'New Civilty' (Cont'd): Ed Schultz Calls Laura Ingraham 'A Slut'. Praying for the death of Dick Cheney didn't do it:

“He is an enemy of the country, in my opinion. Dick Cheney is an enemy of the country….Lord, take him to the Promised Land, will you? See, I don’t even wish the guy goes to Hell, I just want to get him the hell out of here.”

Nor this:  Video: MSNBC's Ed Schultz: "We ought to rip (Cheney's heart) out and kick it around and stuff it back in him". Nor advocating voter fraud: Ed Shultz doubles down on stupid: "I’m not advocating voter fraud, I’m just telling you what I would do!" Nor his many meldowns accusing the GOP of murder: Latest Ed Shultz Meltdown: Republicans “Want to See You Dead…They Kinda Like It When That Woman Has Cancer”. Apparently calling Laura Ingraham a slut did: MSNBC suspends Schultz for calling Ingraham a 'slut'

"I could set the building on fire"

MSNBC has suspended Ed Schultz, host of the “The Ed Show,” for one week without pay for calling conservative talk show host Laura Ingraham a ‘right-wing slut’ on his syndicated radio program Tuesday.

Prior infractions that got noticed by MSNBC, including an obligatory threat to burn down MSNBC (something that I wrote about as well: Unhinged Ed Shultz threatens to burn down MSNBC studios! Then breaks down crying!):

...Page Six reported in August that he threatened to “torch this [bleep]ing place” after MSNBC failed to include him in election-night promos. Sources said that MSNBC brass threatened to fire him if he repeated the outburst, though MSNBC declined to comment on it at the time.

A month later, TV Newser reported that he was reprimanted by MSNBC brass for calling New Jersey Governor Chris Christie a “cold-hearted fat slob.”

Ed Schultz himself is big enough to have smaller big people in orbit around him (Irony: Obese Ed Shultz mocks obese Chris Christie for being fat (again!)). The irony. Goodbye Ed! You won't be missed!

UPDATE: The apology:
