“I thought he was a dick yesterday”
One of my oldest and best friends is a dick and on his behalf I find that comment insulting. Halperin should personally apologize to every dick in the country.
Halperin should be apologizing for a lack of imagination. He’s right in that the President acted like a pouting, sullen adolescent during the press conference, whining about having to answer for the constitutionality of sending men and women into combat without asking Congress for authorization. Obama bizarrely blamed the fiscal crisis on a small coterie of corporate-jet owners, a heretofore unknown juggernaut of economic destruction. Instead of acting presidential, Obama gave us a hissy fit for over sixty minutes. And the best Halperin can do is “dick”?
UPDATE:
Pathetico:
Mark Halperin suspended over Obama remark on Morning Joe
MSNBC senior political analyst Mark Halperin was suspended on Thursday by the cable network after he called President Obama “a dick” on a popular morning show and then quickly apologized.
From the comments at Hot Air (h/t WMCB):
He should have called Obama a slut. The going rate for that is only a week…
The Crawdad Hole 
Sean Penn’s best role ever
ROTFLMAO!! Someone on NPR commented
“A Dick is a functioning part of the human anatomy and brings both pleasure and produces something of substance. Obama is incapable of either of those things, therefore, the remark was wrong.”
That’s perfect.
Perfect. From NPR, no less. Love it!
Even Obot Gloria Berger is seeing a little light break through the Obama-love, and takes a bat to Obama’s “leadership”. Read the whole article, it’s good:

Pathetico:
He is still working for Time magazine
Yeah, they strive for such a high level. Snickering teabagger jokes are fine, but god forbid anyone use a schoolyard word commonly known to mean “jerk” directed at the president.
Well, given that rape jokes are fine on MSNBC, maybe it was the denigration of penises that they objected to. Personally, I’m making an attempt to stop insulting people by likening them to body parts that I quite enjoy. So, today, I shall call Obama a weeping, infected, gangrenous pustule.
Hey, MS-NBC, how about “we expect a high level of leadership”….
Vodkapundit:
Proof is in this Dick-vid, and yes he was an arrogant prick too 😀
Being called out on hypocrisy too……
He’s been DOING BIN LADEN?!? What the HELL is going on in Washington?
Seriously, though, the great orator strikes again.
LOLOLOL.
There would have been much snickering over that gaffe if a female candidate had said she’d been doing Bin Laden.
Besides, what the hell did he do besides say “Um…okay” when they came to him with the plan set to go? How much time did that take? Does he think he’s a Navy Seal?
Comment on HotAir about the indefinite suspension:
Halperin should have tried “dick-bagger”
LOL
That is so true.
Nah, it’s the fact he called out Obama on his dickishness, had he called one of the GOPer guys a dick, nothing would have happened. Ya know like Jon Stewart goes into his Amos’n’Andy schtick when talking about Herman Cain 😀
So will Matthews be told to dial it back a notch calling the ladies balloon heads and stupid ?
I was going to say something like Halperin ought to know, since he & his mag have been you know what-ing it for the past 4 years … but the mental image is too yucky.
I’m trying to figure out if he even meant it or he was screwing around with the seven second delay and no one saved him. I love MSNBC’s response to everything is an indefinite suspension. Maybe they shouldn’t have so many dicks on the network who need to be banned.
I’m no Romney fan but these ads are powerful:
I can’t stand Mittens, but that’s a damn powerful ad.
I’m pretty sure PA is going to vote ABO next year.
This is like the 3rd or 4th business that Obama has stood in front of for photo ops that later went bust.
If Obama came to my place of employment to offer us up as an shining example of his policies, I’d be scared shitless and start looking for a backup job.
He has the Bush touch
Everything he touches turns to shit
Mittens ad people are damn good.
yup, this one gave me goosebumps…..
Yeah, his ad people are killer. Whoever winds up with the R nomination ought to hire his ad people, pronto.
Damn these ads are moving. They should just run the ads without any candidates. Just draw straws to pick a nominee, and she/he will walk to the presidency next November.
I’m still trying to wrap my head around the fact that Obama stood there with a straight face and lectured Congress on too much vacation and not working enough.
WTF???
“Do as I say, not as I do”
RHIP
It’s good to be the emperor.
He told People magazine he wished he had more time to spend with his daughters. Well, I could think of an easy 5 extra hours on Sundays he could spend with them 😛
Ha!
I am also very happy this morning that Barky The Wonderdick put his boundless douchebaggery on full display last night for all the world to see.
See what I did there? Fair and balanced, peeps.
It could do wonders for GOP ad makers, if no one else. 🙂
powerful ad 🙂
Here’s a picture of my Obama
LOLOLOL!!
HONK!
Did you forget the twitpic ? 😉 😉
Winning!
Dick. And I mean that in a good way. 🙂
I am spreading the jokes for all I am worth. Because I’m silly and childish and think it’s a big deal? Nope. Because Obama is a narcissist, and the one thing narcissists cannot abide is mockery. They have a problem with even serious criticism, but mockery, especially mockery over insignificant things, makes them batshit. And I’d really like to make this guy batshit.
Spread the word! Laugh it up! 😀
Wait, isn’t he already batshit?
He’s definitely batshit, and coming unhinged.
The public temper tantrum was great.
Can’t wait to see his next hissy!
This vid is from Feb 2010, were they right?
Obama is not only a dick, he’s a lying dick.
“Obamanomics, leaving on a jet plane” Reuters
Quack.
That’s my new honk. 🙂
You quack me up

This has got to be my favorite day in the last 100. You know it’s bad when your friends are calling you a dick. Add to that Bachmann’s success so far and Amy Siskind’s op-ed in the HuffPo (provoking fragile feminists once again!), my day could not get better without a presidential election.
Bad Boys! Mark Halperin and the Growing List of MSNBC Suspensions Very servicey from the Atlantic. 🙂
