Can you just IMAGINE the orgy of liberal hate, and the hourly news updates telling the sheeple, if BUSH HAD DONE THIS????

Yep. Halperin said he thought Obama was a dick in his speech the day before.

He followed up with a drooling series of apologies.

Have you ever seen a President with such thin-skin and such blatant open control of the MSM??

You said "skin" and "Obama" in the same sentence therefore you must be a racist. But to answer your question... no.

Did it actually get broadcast that way, or bleeped?

If Halperin had called Bush a “Dick”, instead of Obama, he’d be getting his own MSNBC TV Show, a fat contract, and the Journalist of the Year award, instead of a suspension....

Here’s a funny limerick on the subject of dicks and weiners:

There once was a pervert named Weiner
Who had a perverted demeanor
Forced from the Hill
For acting like Bill
Now Congress is one weiner leaner.

I seriesly had to prick up my ears when I heard this. Golly, what a tender young pile of offal is this president. Not cocksure at all.

I believe that all of us who have been Dicks all of our lives (my name is Richard) and proudly lived with our nicknames should sue der Fuehrer and the MSNBC flack for giving all Dicks a bad name. Hell, BO doesn’t even deserve the comparison to a male organ; he serves no useful purpose although he does make a regular habit of pissing on the country and the Constitution. All of us real Dicks don’t appreciate the comparison that ties him to our name or to our favorite body part. Refer to him as a wiener if you’d like.

Joe’s producer couldn’t find the button in time, and it went out. Morning Joe was visibly p*ssed.
