as mark halperin tries to sell his book, don't forget this guy called President Obama a 'dick'

[spanone]

on mourning ho show......see video

fuck his book

[monmouth3]

1. And those asses laughed, and Joe was "shocked."....Hate them all and I don't usually "hate"

anyone but I wouldn't even peruse that book let alone buy it..

2. Nah, it looks like an interesting read.

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

[spanone]

3. a little raw....bwahahahahahaaa...it's called disrespect.

[PeteSelman]

4. Should he have said "priggish"?

Would that have helped?

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

5. msnbc thought it was serious enough to suspend him at the time.

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

13. it was false

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.

6. MSNBookClub//I am sick of them ALL hawking their damned books

Give all those "authors" 2 or 3 hours now occupied by Prison Porn..and let them all have a weekly "Book-a-thon" ...and then make them STFU about their damned books when they are hosts/guests

7. It's not going to stop me from reading Double Down, sorry. I enjoyed Game Change

too much.

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

[Gothmog]

8. I am not going to buy this book

I did not buy Game Change and I am not going to buy this book

[Cali_Democrat]

9. "fuck his book"

amen!

[tularetom]

10. I don't understand this asshole at all

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.

11. Doesn't mean he's not a good researcher and writer

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

12. i'll give that nod to his co-writer john heilemann
