That was fast.

This morning on Morning Joe Mark Halperin, under the impression Morning Joe was on a 7 second delay, said he thought President Obama was a 'dick' in his press conference yesterday.

He quickly apologized once it became clear the remark had aired, ad did the entire Morning Joe crew.

Apparently that was not enough.

MSNBC has since suspended Halperin. Their statement:

"Mark Halperin’s comments this morning were completely inappropriate and unacceptable.　 We apologize to the President, The White House and all of our viewers. We strive for a high level of discourse and comments like these have no place on our air. Therefore, Mark will be suspended indefinitely from his role as an analyst."

Actually, the way that they would have worded it would be classic Liberalturd Apologyspeak:

"We apologize that you felt offended."

President Dick Obama

The only thing incorrect about this exchange is that he should have said arrogant dick I'd stand by that remark up front by the preachers podium Sunday morning and then say Can I get an AYYYYYMENNNNN?.
