    This is a widely held opinion, I don't know why they made such a cutesy deal out of it.

    Well, for starts...it doesn't seem to be the widely held opinion at MSNBC or Time.

    Halperin is falling all over himself to apologize profusely to the entire world for his comment now, which I find absolutely hilarious, and pathetic.
    "Your mother's dead, before long I'll be dead, and you...and your brother and your sister and all of her children, all of us dead, all of us..rotting in the ground. It's the family name that lives on. It's all that lives on. Not your personal glory, not your honor, but family." - Tywin Lannister

    ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!

    Time Magazine has suspended him!!!!!!!!!!

    Can you believe all these people???

    OH MY GOD, hE CALLED THE PRESIDENT....A....DICK!!!!!

    The agony! The horror!! Oh my God someone call the network chiefs we need a Dateline special!

    Edit: Or maybe MS-NBC just suspended him from appearances and not Time Magazine from his job. Either way, pretty hysterical in a tragic comedy kind of way.

    I doubt it. This morning when they unveiled this week's Time Magazine cover, the Time editor explained how the bloodshed over the Mexican border is 100% the USA's fault for guns going across our border to their country, and our consuming of illegal drugs here. The character of the people running the drugs of course is not a part of it at all.

    richard milhous nixon often was very formal and proper.
    in his rough and tumble moments he was mr. dick nixon!!!
    for some reason, this all takes me back to the wit + wisdom

    And, of course, even though this is a republic and they are the Fourth Estate they didn't question for one second whether the Prohibition of a popular natural substance is the bad thing, rather than the lack of total obedience...

    I have recordings of Morning Joe and sometimes even Joe Scarborough goes off with his opinionated rants on Obama... MSNBC has edited the pieces and I caught them. I need to get a HDMI video capture card and get this stuff posted to the net.

    the issue isn't so much that he called him a dick, but that he did so on what they try to portray as a show for families. i don't think he's apologizing so much for the sentiment as he is word choice.

    Why the hell did msnbc suspend him while their hosts are cheering him on?

    From the clip, it looks like he was tricked; or at least the victim of incompetent production. They told him to “go for it” and “I’m behind you…you fall down and I’ll catch ya”, thereby basically telling him to say what he thought and it would be edited if necessary by the delay. But it wasn’t. Then after he said it, they acted shocked and said they were “joking”. And then the producer even chimed in indicating he didn’t think the delay worked.

    You know, there are enough independent television stations with no news content and only locally based sponsors in the nation that I can't help but think a completely independent news report is doable. And Lord knows that the MSM has trained and disposed of enough talent to staff one.

    Yes, true observation.

    The hosts told him it was ok, and the producer seemed to indicate that it was ok. Therefore, it seems to me that he was given permission to do it. And now they are suspending him for it after they said it was ok?

    Yeah, this is venturing into lawsuit territory real quick.

    The over reaction is disturbing and I do know his politics so I have no reason to defend him. He also said he was being a dick not that he was a dick. The humor seems to fit Morning Joe and he was being egged on. What a bunch of scumbags at MSNBC and Time for what suspending this guy for giving political comedic commentary when asked. Joe should have came to his defense. I will never watch this program ever again considering the over reaction.

    It seems this is a new precedent they are setting that is going to put every commentator in fear of criticizing or giving any sort of negative commentary on Obama.

    He would be wise to do so and to stop apologizing. They probably told him if he apologizes everything would be okay but it never works that way.

    According to a Ted Rall column not long ago, this has been the case for quite some time now. It's an interesting read. He details the pressures so-called journalists feel constantly not to show that the emperor has no clothes.

    This fact couldn't have been any more clear than in that CNN interview last night, just as Dr. Paul really getting into exposing the naked obama the host of the show had a uncontrollable need to change the topic and cut Dr. Paul off.
