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 President’s 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 can’t believe… don’t do that. Did we delay that?”

this is what you call a “gaffe”???

[SMARTY]

I guess the only lie in the whole deal is the ‘apology’

Halperin is obviously a racist.

Dick?

More like a Richard.

Richard Simmons.

Well Mr. Halperin, you are much kinder than I am when I hear that %^%^&^ (&*R%%*)^ *&TT&O* (*&^& &*(^ ^%&%(&# &%*&*(__*+ *^ *&Y)*- ^%$#&*( (*^ (*Y^ . I have to turn off the radio when I hear his voice.

0bama’s too high on the douchebaggery scale to be called a d*ck.

[Louis Foxwell]

Shame on you for smearing Richard Simmons.

That is not where Obama falls on the ‘Team America’ D-P-A spectrum.

I don’t think so. I think the anatomically correct pejorative in this case would start with the letter’C’.

"Much too masculine and virile of a term for Obama."

Not for Halperin but to the rest of us, Obama is an ass.

[who knows what evil?]

...but referring to Governor Palin as a t*** or a c*** is perfectly okay...

Hypocrites.

[McGruff]

More like Richard Head.

New Obama bumper sticker (hat tip, Mark Halperin)

Why change dicks in the middle of a screw, vote for Barry in 20 one two.

Later in the show, Halperin again apologized, saying, “I can’t explain why I did it. It’s inappropriate, disrespectful. I’ve already apologized, and I will again to the President. I’m sorry, I’m sorry to the viewers…It is disrespectful, what I said was disrespectful to the president and the office but it also lowers our discourse.”

"Lowers our discourse"? Gimme a break. Liberals are foul mouthed mob members - I'm sure Halperin's comments were tame compared to what he says back in the office... Here's his REAL apology - 'I'm sorry I showed the world how elite liberals talk and think - elites love to pull the wool over the less enlightened members of our party - the losers - oh wait - can you do the 7 second thing...."

Portrait of a psychopath.

Scariest.
Picture.
Evah.

[Man from Oz]

Definite sign that the wheels are coming off the “Hope and Change” BS when one of their own utter their innermost thoughts on TV...... Its going to get uglier... how can it not when an absolute Putz is at the helm??????

[GOPJ]

Halperin is obviously a racist.

Want to bet the MSM would NEVER come up with that one... Of course if a Republican had said the same it would be the first words out of their mouths...

[A'elian' nation]

You mean the Morning Joe Seinfeld Show actually made some news?

His show is about a bunch of nobodys talking about nothing.

And Joe is looking more and more like a dickhead.
Talk about a guy who sold his soul.

[Texas Eagle]

LOL! How is that a gaffe?
