I'm not going to boycott simply because his characterization of the President's demeanor during a particular press conference was a little raw.

Would that have helped?

Seriously, he didn't call the President a dick, he said he was acting like one during the press conference.

Mark Halperin has been suspended indefinitely by MSNBC for calling President Obama a "dick" live on air.

i actually don't care about politicians being disrespected. But I saw that press conference and Halperin's reporting was false. In fact, Obama was not a dick there.

I don't disagree that Halperin's a shithead, but I've been planning on reading that book for a year.

His father was a friend of Daniel Ellsberg and a civil libertarian. IIRC he was on Nixon's enemies list.

Guess this nut fell a long way from the tree.

Based on "Game Change", I think Mittens comes out a lot worse than Obama does.
