Add this to the AP Style Guide: Don’t call the president a dick. Time Magazine editor-at-large Mark Halperin has been suspended indefinitely from his talking head position at MSNBC after he called President Obama “a dick” during an on-air chat with Joe Scarborough. It appears from the video that Halperin assumed his salty language would be bleeped out, but that didn’t happen. The New York Post notes Halperin made two on-air apologies and apologized on Twitter.
