Ha! Carney picked up the white phone.

Totally unnecessary. MSNBC is completely in their pocket.

Rush Limbaugh has been using the "dick" word all day without censorship, so I guess its OK.

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.

Me too. I thought, they must be talking about President Johnson.

‘If Halperin had called Bush a “Dick”,......”

A small poem...

Halperin at work was amiss
Knew he should’t have said this
Michele got mad
The Network was Sad
Cuz Hers was bigger ‘n his

Seems the censor-on-duty should have apologized for being “asleep at the switch,” but nobody else.

While this incident displays Obama's Narcissim the suspension couldn't happen to a nicer guy. "Game Change" was a hit piece on McCain, Palin, and conservatives in general while more than fawning on Obama.

Karma is a b****.

They were probably just upset due to inaccuracy.

The proper word to use should have been “urethra”.

I sense this guy is getting closer to blow.

I suspect that being close to blow has been Bambi's problem for some time now...
