You think he deserves to be fired over the "sloppy seconds" comment??? Was it in poor taste? Yes. But to fire him over that? I probably wouldn't.

Absolutely not! No longer is "poor taste" going to be tolerated by the so-called elite in the press corps.

This man should be relegated to typesetting if this is his choice of language to use in the White House.

[Redleg Duke]

I would.

He is the Chief White House Correspondent for CBS News. The Chief Correspondent should be held to a higher standard than anyone else, don't you think? He should be fired or re-assigned.

Worse by far than what got "The Greek" fired.

The White House should revoke his press credentials as taking a stand that crude, rude and vulgar discourse will not be tolerated.

And if anyone doesn't understand what crude, rude and vulgar pass for in civil discourse, then they should not have press credentials in the first place.

Unless of course it was a conservative saying something like that regarding a DimWit nominee or the chief DimWit himself, Bill Clintoon. Then the media would be in a hypocritical frenzy of feigned outrage, until the culprit was fired...irregardless of apology or not. But when a leftie commits the offense...then its' just "Sorry about that" and let's move on. Hypocritical left-wing moon bats and lunatic MSM!!!

Even if he had no idea of the meaning of the term sloppy seconds, his question was beneath the dignity of a WH reporter (well, of what a WH reporter should be).

It was a question with the clear intent to cause trouble as opposed to a serious question about a serious subject. There should be a certain amount of respect and dignity in these pressers.

The comment was outrageous and beyond the Pale. The fact that a supposed "conservative" such as yourself thinks this is no big deal and is acceptable, just shows the extent to which our society has sunk into the gutter.

Nor would I, if he made a reasonable assertion that he did not mean to introduce a sexual connnotation where it was inappropriate.

Some person not long ago was persecuted for publicly using the word "niggardly" because the undeducated thought that it was racial slur. The administration ought to use this as an opportunity to set a standard which they might later use in defense of OUR people who make a poor choice of words or phrase. That is the right thing to do.
