Crush Liberalism

Liberalism: Why think when you can “feel”?

Quote of the day, “Obama is a WHAT?” edition

Heh.

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.

Halperin apparently thought there was a delay for the censors to beep out his word.  It didn’t happen that way.

MSDNCNBC has responded:

“Mark Halperin’s comments this morning were completely inappropriate and unacceptable. We apologize to the President, The White House and all of our viewers,” in a statement by MSNBC spokesperson Jeremy Gaines. “We strive for a high level of discourse and comments like these have no place on our air. Therefore, Mark will be suspended indefinitely from his role as an analyst.”

If only they applied civility standards to their hosts, right?  Fortunately for Halperin, he isn’t employed full-time by MSDNC.  As such, (a) nobody was watching when he made the statement; and (b) it’s not like he’ll be yet another jobless claim on Obama’s watch.

Quote of the day, “Durbin not familiar with qualifications of presidency” edition

When he’s not busy comparing our soldiers to Pol Pot and Stalin, Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) likes to pass the time Hispandering in a way that reveals his ignorance:

Durbin, while pooping up the DREAM Act (amnesty), said this:

When I look around this room, I see America’s future. Our doctors, our teachers, our nurses, our engineers, our scientists, our soldiers, our Congressman, our Senators and maybe our President.

Lost on Durbin the Turban is Article 2, Section 1, Clause 5 of the Constitution:  “No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President.”
