How do you know that MSNBC found the source? Maybe Ed did. brooklynite Mar 2013 #7
I don't know. W_HAMILTON Mar 2013 #8
Probably because 8 PM (Eastern) is more prime time than 9 PM DinahMoeHum Mar 2013 #9
Yeah, that's true. That's the only thing I could think of. W_HAMILTON Mar 2013 #10

. . .on how Bill Clinton apparently inspired the man who made the video:

Don't worry - the man's name is not identified yet. Just tune in to The Ed Show tonight for your answer.

this guy basically sewed up the election for President Obama. It was so damning and so clear that Romney just couldn't come back. The GOP didn't know what hit them. They are still reeling...

If I were an MSNBC exec, he'd probably be last on my list to land such a big interview. Maddow would obviously be my first choice.

But then it begs a question I've always had but never asked: Why did Ed get the 8pm time slot?

I guess I'm just not that big a fan of his.

I liked Olbermann. I liked O'Donnell when he was on at 8pm. But I just can't get into Ed that much.

In my work I've sat through hundreds of fundraisers and political functions and if I'd been hiding behind the sound board at Mitt's little shindig it could be ME on Ed tonight! I did like what the guy said about Bill Clinton. I had the exact same experience.

We were doing a show once. We had The Big Dog speaking one day and KKKarl Rove the next. President Clinton comes in and instead of hanging in the Green Room he introduced himself to every person backstage, shook their hand and thanked them putting on the show. Some of my colleagues are not big Clinton fans but they admitted it was nice (and uncommon) of him to make the effort. He went on to give probably the best speech I've ever heard.

The next day it was KKKarl. He came in with 4 gray suited toadies, went immediately to the Green Room and only came out when it was time for him to take the stage. Not a notice of any of the techs (in fact his toadies seemed ready to draw on us at any moment) and when it was over out the door without a thank you or goodbye. Oh and his speech sucked to. That's the difference between Republicans and Democrats.
