Many DUers trashed Ed Schultz last Friday for not being on the air to cover Aurora

[Omaha Steve]

Now that we know about Wendy (we already knew it was a family member that was sick ), a few I'm sorry posts would be appropriate!

1. I'm sorry you feel that way Steve...

Those people were not trying to be mean to Ed and Wendy. They just need to hear him talk when things get crazy.

7. I think he was more concerned

with his wife's ovarian cancer surgery, as he should have been; the last thing he should have been thinking about was what to say on his show. Sorry, but at that point, to him, I'm sure his wife was more important.

11. Some of it was very mean

I don't think there will be anymore said about his missing Fridays show.

2. He's always been the meat-eating-gun-toting-lefty

And he doesn't shy away from a fight.

I'm very sorry about Ed's wife.

3. I didn't, but I still wish him and his family and you well. Everyone, take care of your loved ones.

4. Praying for Wendy and Ed. nt

5. He called into Papantonio, his substitute, this morning-he almost cried a couple times

He's VERY upset about it. Nothing else matters to him right now.

6. Pulling for Wendy and Ed

Sending them a lot of love right now.

8. Still sending positive thoughts to Big Ed and Wendy...

She apparently had surgery today. Wishing her a safe and speedy return to good health.

10. K and R

Hope and pray that Wendy will be OK

12. Really? You think people knew te reason he was gone? So from now....

On no one should ever complain until we research 100% possibilities? LOL

13. His radio show said he was gone for a sick relative last Wednesday

We just didn't know then it was Wendy.
