Mark Halperin, MSNBC contributor and co-author of the best-selling book Game Change, had an off-color remark live on this morning's "Morning Joe" show. He said that U.S. President Barack Obama "behaved kind of like a d____k" yesterday at his press conference. While Mr. Halperin later apologized twice during the show for his tasteless remark, MSNBC has suspended him. The White House wasn't happy about the comment. Warning: foul language:
Samuel Gonzalez: "Somebody At MSNBC Finally Tells The Truth About President Obama"
The conservative Republican blogger in New York City writes: "Finally, somebody at the Obama-suck-up cable channel, aka MSNBC had a moment of clarity when reporter Mark Halperin correctly labeled President Obama as a 'd____k' after he heard the stream of misinformation and class warfare demagoguery coming from the president’s lips yesterday. Hallelujah! At least there’s somebody at MSNBC with enough integrity to tell it like it is when we have a president way over his head, unable to talk about his own record since coming to the White House, refusing to accept blame for his own mess, and desperately giving the American people false choices between choosing kids and corporate jets."
Sandra Rose: "Mark Halperin Was Out Of Line"
Asserts the conservative blogger in Atlanta metro: "We here at Sandrarose.com wholeheartedly believe in the Constitutional right to free speech. But what MSNBC’s Mark Halperin said about U.S. President Barack Obama went way over the line of common decency and respect."
She continues her commentary: "Halperin immediately apologized for his 'joke' when he was told there was no 7-second delay — but his apology was neither honest nor sincere. Remember, Haperin asked if there was a 7-second delay on, so he knew what he was going to say before he said it. The left-wing media is treating Halperin’s comments as a slip of the tongue, or a 'gaffe' — this is the codeword they use when they hold one of their own in high regard, and they don’t want to ruin his career. Imagine what would have happened if Glenn Beck or Sean Hannity called Obama 'a d___k' on live television."
