:lol:

Mark Halperin, editor-at-large for Time, called President Obama “a dick” on Thursday on a popular MSNBC morning show and then quickly apologized.
“I thought he was a dick yesterday,” Halperin, who also is a senior political analyst for MSNBC, said on Morning Joe, referring to the President’s conduct during his press conference.

Host Joe Scarborough hoped to prevent the comment from being broadcast, saying, “Delay that. Delay that. What are you doing? I can’t believe… don’t do that. Did we delay that?”
Just minutes later, Halperin quickly apologized to the president and viewers for his choice of words. “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.

haha. Most of our presidents have been dicks, imo. How else do you become a politician?

Finally an honest assessment.

Especially Nixon.

Tricky Dick supports that statement.

Those who s*ck them tend to move up the food chain too.

Oh politics. Every president will be called a dick hundreds, if not thousands, of times throughout their reign. I don't take political sides, but it kinda sucks living in Tennessee right now where everyone trashes our president for any reason they can find.

Hey... We all think Bush II was a dick. Right? ... Right??

Monica disagrees.

:Clinton thumb up: :thumbsup:

Monica showed up at my highschool with Tom Green. hilarity ensued.

Hahaha there's probably a better adjective for him that escapes my mind at the moment. I always had mixed feelings about Bush. I mean, he said some weird things sometimes, but I don't think he was an idiot. Perhaps in over his head, I probably didn't hate him as much as everyone else did.

He and his peoples at least campaigned their asses off to conjure up a reason before running up the national credit card to get us into a pointless military conflict. So, kudos there.

Big difference between doing it and getting caught doing it with someone you shouldn't

It's definitely justified.

 

[milohimself]

It's definitely justified.

The policy stuff or the gsvol-type stuff?

 

[Chris4Vols22]

It's definitely justified.

I doubt that.

 

[golfballs]

The policy stuff or the gsvol-type stuff?

I think gsvol-types are in the minority

 

[volinbham]

The policy stuff or the gsvol-type stuff?

who has time for the gsvol type stuff when there is so much policy stuff to complain about...

 

[golfballs]

I doubt that.

Even if you don't pick sides, it has to be pretty clear to you that he stands for a lot of things that the majority of Tennesseeans don't stand for.

I still hear it more than I expect from the local yokels on local news talk.

I don't consider them to be representative at all. Callers are always the most extreme of the crowd.

I figured at much, but to what point does the extreme opinion permeate into the crowd? I'm sure I won't have to go dig up examples of this for you from the left when GDubs was in office.
