Or couldn’t it have been a veiled compliment about how supposedly good a detective (remember “Dick” Tracy?) the Bummer was?

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

He called Barrack H. Smegma a dick?

I would complain too. Obama has been making effort to be the biggest a**hole in the country’s history and all he gets is dick?

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....

You're right, and I'll go a bit further.

If Halperin had called President Bush a dick, Bush would not have called the station and complained. Rather, he'd give one of those "what an asshole" chuckles, shake his head a bit in amusement and with a smile, talk about what a Wonderful Thing Free Speach is...

“Direct complaints to 1800 EAT-SH*T.”

THAT'S too rich!!! I love it.

If Bush called the MSM with a complaint every time HE was abused, he would have had the phone growing in his ear.!!

“The comment that was made was inappropriate,” Carney said. “It would be inappropriate to say about a president of either party.”

Hmmm...I like THAT!! Sham magnanimity! Too bad the Liberals weren't SO sophisticated for 8 years while they were being monstrous to Bush!!

Bush calling the media to complain would've been like Bush asking Al-Zaidi to throw his other shoe at him.

Thin-skinned is right. Barry is a real piece of work, as are his media friends at MSNBC.

Have you noticed that the Zero has big ears?

One of his first thin-skinned indicators was his piling on a reporter for mentioning his big ears.

Someone on NPR commented

“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.”

pretty good coming from an NPR’r

What was the actual remark? That Obama was being a d*ck?

He said the illegal president was a bit of d**k during the press conference. It was an accurate comment on his behavior during a specific period of time.
