Yikes. Was the commentator indefinitely suspended? A large government grant is surely at stake.

When he was a kid, Obama never heard, Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me. Does it translate to Swahili?
To: FourPeas
Obambie was offended because he thought he was called a little dick, a big dick monicker would have been OK.
To: dainbramaged
I hadn’t heard? Ha- if he did.
Dick Obama...

Seems like someone felt a prick over Halperins boner, to go dinging MS-DNCs dong before the cock could even crow once and demanding they be hard on him.All this after the great "Weiner Controversy" just a couple of weeks back!

Man, you are SO right! All Halperin had to say was that Boehner was a DICK and he could have written his ticket!

sorry should have clarified
It wasn’t an on-air commentator. It was a blog-listener comment posted on the NPR site in reaction to the “Morning Joe Seinfeld” incident.
Morning Joe Seinfeld is what I call that show about Nothing.

How that conversation should have gone:
Jay Carney: The president and this administration are deeply insulted and offended by the referral to him as a Dick, and we demand a public apology.
MSNBC: You’re another one, Jay.
