Is the President of the Unites States a dick?

[MineralMan]

Only if he is Richard Nixon, who was truly a Dick. Otherwise, no. However, this insult by Halperin doesn't really rise to a level that constitutes a major thing. It's an insult, and shouldn't have been said, but it's not that egregious an insult, as insults go.

1. Not an egregious insult? Really? What if Bush was called a "dick"

where would the wrath fall first? MSNBC would have been taken off the air.

2. No, it wouldn't have been taken off the air.

Not a chance.

3. What's the difference between a dick and a slut?

or are there only suspensions when ReTHUGS are the victims of the insults.

[Obamanaut]

4. Usually the difference is gender. Many people equate 'dick' with 'jerk',

whereas 'slut' suggests someone with slaeazy and/or loose behavior.

They are not the same, IMO.

5. Well, it's not like cursing his dead mother. But it is decidedly vulgar.

Why yes, I'm repeatring myself, just as you and others are.

6. Don't forget Cheney. He's a Dick too.

In more ways than just his name.
