Ed Schultz spent the first few minutes of his show apologizing for the “vile and inappropriate language” he used on the radio yesterday. “I have embarrassed my family, I have embarrassed this company. This is the lowest of low for me.”

Schultz called Ingraham today to apologize, but did not reach her. While MSNBC released a statement that Schultz would be suspended for a week, unpaid, Schultz said he would be gone for, “an indefinite period of time.”

“Laura Ingraham I’m sorry. I’m very sorry.”
