Mark Halperin Calls Obama "A Dick" on live TV , Suspended, Apolozies - video

Mark Halperin, editor-at-large of Time magazine and senior political analyst for MSNBC, said on live TV Thursday morning that he thought President Barack Obama had been acting like a "dick."

Joe Scarborough, host of the MSNBC show "Morning Joe," the site of the gaffe, quickly called for what he thought was a seven-second delay button to be pushed. But apparently it had not been on, and you can see the result in the video below.
Scarborough was in disbelief over Halperin's comment and quickly directed his attention off-camera, saying, "Delay that. Delay that. What are you doing?"

Halperin apologized after the hosts realized that the show's new executive producer was not familiar with the seven-second delay button.

"Joking aside, this is an absolute apology. I shouldn't have said it. I apologize to the President and the viewers who heard me say that," Halperin said.

"We're going to have a meeting after the show," Scarborough said.

Scarborough also made light of the incident, telling his producer, “I would tell you what I think of him, but he doesn’t know what button to push."

Fox News Strikes Back Against Jon Stewart – Video

Chris Wallace defended his interview with Jon Stewart--and denied that it was edited out of context.
The interview on "Fox News Sunday" caused a huge ruckus, and Stewart spent two days talking about it on his own show. Most notably, he claimed that Fox News, in editing his 24-minute appearance down to a 14-minute segment, had made him look emotionally unstable and had taken out key portions of the interview.
Speaking to Don Imus on his Thursday radio show, Wallace said that he thought the conversation had gone well.
"He scored some points, I scored some points," he said. He added that Stewart was "somewhat in denial about the bias of his program and more importantly of the mainstream media, and I also think he lives in denial about his ambitions."
Imus asked about Stewart's charge that the segment was edited to make him look bad. "I think if he looked bad it was his fault," Wallace said, chuckling. "The reason that anybody has seen the full version is because we put it out. We weren't hiding anything ... quite frankly, Jon was filibustering ... and we had to cut it down."
The two also agreed about Stewart's mockery of Herman Cain. (Cain harshly criticized Stewart, saying that he was being mocked because he is a black conservative.
"Name one other white performer who could get away with that," Imus said.
