White House Press Secratary Calls MSNBC to Say Halperin's Vulgar Comment on MSNBC was 'Inappropriate'
You can give money to political candidates. You can call a conservative radio talk show “a slut.” And you can even go as far as suggesting a former First Lady is “pimping” her daughter out and get a slap on the wrist.
But don’t you dare besmirch the name of President Barack Obama.
Ed Schultz – gets a one-week suspension without pay for calling conservative talk show host Laura Ingraham “a slut” on his radio show last month.
Joe Scarborough – gets a two-day suspension for contributing to political candidates without clearance from NBC-Universal management in November 2010.
Keith Olbermann – gets a similar two-day suspension two weeks earlier for political contributions as well.
David Shuster – suspended indefinitely for violating terms of his contract by shooting pilot with CNN. Was also suspended briefly in 2008 during Hillary Clinton-Barack Obama race for the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination for suggesting Clinton’s daughter Chelsea was “pimped out” for political purposes.
Donny Deutsch – reportedly suspended for criticizing Keith Olbermann in April 2010
Don Imus – Initially suspended in 2007 after making disparaging remarks about the Rutgers women’s basketball team, but show was later completely dropped by MSNBC.
