I suppose that this was probably pretty inevitable. Lt. Col. Ralph Peters has been suspended by FoxNews for two weeks after calling Obama a "p***y" on air last night, as he can be seen doing here, with video from our own Caleb Howe:

I do not know Lt. Col. Ralph Peters. In fact, until this morning I had literally never heard of him. However, I find it hilarious to imagine how a military man so crusty that he called the President of the United States a "p***y" live on air probably reacted to the news when it was handed to him by the FoxNews brass. I mean, if any of them are still alive, that is.
That’s a rather mild word when compared to the names that I, and others with whom I associate, call him on a daily - and sometimes hourly - basis ... none of which I could ever post on FR!
Just today’s tempest in a teapot. Tomorrow there will be a new feigned outrage, as sure as the sun rises.
I can just imagine Jimmy Carter wiping his brow:
“*Whew!* The heat’s off! Thought I’d never live to see the day!”

I totally agree with him
He doesn't "give a shiite" about Americans.
Wink and a nod to the lovely Stacy Dash. ;-)
And the pussification of America continues
Keep funding the left via your cable/Dish folks. Just don’t complain about what your actions result in.
Are you not entertained?
“You have to imagine Putin getting his daily news package and the KGB guy standing there....and then Putin comes to this two-liner from Fox News on Obama. He’ll look up at the KGB guy and just start grinning....and probably start laughing....then fall on the floor with tears rolling down his cheeks. He’ll probably write a personalized letter to Peters and send a autographed picture.”

Well, that made me laugh so hard I had tears. Great image.
Fox News has suspended two contributors, Ralph Peters and Stacey Dash, who described President Obama as a "p**sy" who doesn't "give a s**t" on air today, reports CNN.
Peters' and Dash's comments "were completely inappropriate and unacceptable for our air," Fox News senior executive vice president Bill Shine said in a statement announcing the suspensions this afternoon.
Peters, who Fox describes as its "strategic analyst," called the president a "total pu-" who "doesn't want to hurt our enemies" during an apperance on Fox Business Channel on Monday. "This guy, [he] is such a total p**sy, it's stunning," Peters told host Stuart Varney, reacting to the president's recent address on terrorism.
On her regular turn on the "Outnumbered" couch on Fox News Monday afternoon, former Clueless star Stacey Dash just couldn't contain her anger at President Obama's Sunday evening Oval Office address on terror, saying that "I felt like he could give a sh*t - excuse me, like he could care less."
"Fox Business Network and Fox News Channel do not condone the use of such language, and have suspended both Peters and Dash for two weeks," Shine said. Both Peters and Dash have been suspended for two weeks.
A sure sign of the contributors' coming sacrifice came from the network's "media critic," Howard Kurtz, who tweeted his disapproval of both Dash's and Peter's on-air antics that earlier in the day:.............

"Fox News' faithful did not take word of the pair's suspension kindly, taking to Twitter to lash out at the decision and rally to their support:....

What President Ovomit says is inaccurate, lies and unrelated to reality.
Can we suspend Ovomit?
Kudos Lt. Col. Peters but try to tone it down a bit.
I saw that! It was great!
There is a common phrase, he or she is “just a pussycat,” which means about the same thing as Peters said. So why isn’t it arguable that he could have meant that? Oh wait, just a pussycat could be taken as a compliment while the other...
The Colonel is gutsy and smart. His lack of PC goes a long way to explaining why a man of his intelligence didn’t rise higher than Lt Colonel.
...”And Peters didn’t stop there, so he’s been suspended for 2 weeks.”...
.
REALLY?! I hadn’t heard this. Ralph Peters has been a voice crying in the wilderness for so long, I can’t even remember. He is a very wise military man and now, FOX and political correctness has suspended him for 2 weeks?!!!!!! So much for the management of the news at FOX. It is time for strong, descriptive language. Free speech is what we need and Col. Peters was simply using his freedom of speech. PC has to go.
So what did he say that was wrong???
