MSNBC: Mark Halperin ‘Suspended Indefinitely’ for Calling Obama A ‘[Short for Richard]‘

The official MSNBC statement: Mark Halperin’s comments this morning were completely inappropriate and unacceptable. We apologize to the President, The White House and all of our viewers. We strive for a high level of discourse and comments like these have no place on our air.
