. . .
The line was clearly a little more candor than host Stuart Varney imagined hed get when he set up Peters with this: What were you saying to the TV as the president was speaking?
Look, Mr. President, were not afraid, Peters responded, apparently recounting his stream of consciousness during Obamas address. Were angry. Were pissed off. Were furious. We want to see you react. We want you to do something. Youre afraid. I mean, this guy is such a total pussy its stunning.
Hey, at least Peters answered honestly.
Varney gave him a finger wag for coarse language: Okay, Ralph, I can tell you are super angry, and I asked you what your reaction was, but I gotta call you. You cant use language like that on the program.
Im sorry, Peters said.
(Update: Fox News host Howard Kurtz tweeted that the network has suspended Peters for two weeks and also meted out the same punishment to contributor Stacy Dash, who said on the air Monday that Obama appeared not to "give a [expletive]" during his Oval Office address.)

since FOX really liked what he said. I'm sure they will make sure he gets paid, plus a bonus.
