MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” has been a hotbed for live TV controversy. Earlier in the year, commentator Mark Halperin was suspended for calling the president a “dick,” and earlier this month, Ann Coulter was “bleeped” out when she used the word “dickweed.” But those comments may have been trumped this morning when NBC politics guru Chuck Todd said so much without even opening his mouth. That’s because the cameras caught him flipping someone the middle finger.
Newsbusters explains:
On Morning Joe today, Chuck Todd was seen flipping the bird as the show went to break and he waited to come onto the set. Hat tip reader Ray R. In defense of the NBC political director, he might have been operating under the assumption that his off-set antics would not be televised.
Here’s the video:
He quickly tweeted out this apology:
It remains to be seen if he will suffer any consequences.

Posted on December 14, 2011 at 9:16amChuck is so in love with himself, he acts just like Obamanation. He is so arrogant I cannot stand to watch him, and would love to see him go. But the left thinks it is ok to do anything they want. How come we have not seen this on democrat TV. Lets see how well they spin this….
