Mark Halperin, editor-at-large for Time, called President Obama a dick on Wednesday on a popular MSNBC morning show and then quickly apologized.
I thought he was a dick yesterday, Halperin, who also is a senior political analyst for MSNBC, said on Morning Joe, referring to the Presidents conduct during his press conference.
Host Joe Scarborough hoped to prevent the comment from being broadcast, saying, Delay that. Delay that. What are you doing? I cant believe
dont do that. Did we delay that?

Much too masculine and virile of a term for Obama.
To: Bigtigermike
Didn't he ask if the seven-second delay was on first?
Why would anyone apologize for something which was pre-planned? Do people not understand what an apology is? He's obviously not sorry about it if he goes through a whole set-up routine prior to his "gaffe".

Halperin got it right....tho “dick” is far too conservative a word to describe the stain!

No apology is needed for finally reporting a fact.

The ‘dick’ Halperin is apologizing live right now, lol. When I saw him say that this morning, I laughed out loud because the guys in the control room said they would ‘bleep’ it out. I think they intentionally didn’t bleep it out just to make Halperin look bad.
Ha ha ha, the guys in the control room are apologizing now.
Halperin was caught saying what he actually believed, how refreshing.

Of course he would apologies for telling the truth. He normally is too busy working on that particular member. It is always a mystery to me how most of these pundits can formulate speech while fellate the President.

More telling yet is Far Left RINO, Moonbat Joe's reaction in going bonkers at the thought that one of his uber liberal, fellow traveling, useful idiot, Media com-padres would be seen for what they all are: Hypocritical, morons, who speak from both sides of their mouths and moreover, old Joe also wanted to keep anything derogatory about “his” Dear Leader being broadcast.
To: Bigtigermike
i simply cannot stop laughing at this. it’s as if this guy was in our living room discussing him! the term FITS HIM to a tee!

To the MSM, a ‘gaffe’ by them means actually telling the truth about the Pretender in Chief.
The only reason Halperin is apologizing is becasue Politico and Drudge are all over it. Morning Joe trying to act like a serious show with idiots like Halperin, Howard Dean, Sherrod Brown on today. Lefty Obama love for Barry interupted by Halperin’s one lucid comment. Barry’s boys wtch Morning Joe and I bet the texts to Mika were flying right after Halperin told the truth.

MSNBC SPEAKS TRUTH
First time in History
In an unbelievable, unprecedented display of candor, MSNBC states obvious truth about Commander-In-Chief.

I just watched the apologies from everyone around the table and didn’t know what they were apologizing for...had the show on as “back noise” but was busy reading emails and didn’t actually catch. I was curious as to what he said and thanks to you - now I know! lol
