CoFOX NEWS BOOTS OBAMA-BASHING TALKERS
Vulgar language on live TV called 'completely inappropriate'
Two paid Fox News pundits were suspended for two weeks for making comments during separate segments about President Obama that contained profanity.
Ralph Peters, a “strategic analyst” for the cable giant, called Obama a “total pu–y” who “doesn’t want to hurt our enemies,” CNN Money reported.
And just a couple hours later, Stacey Dash, a Hollywood conservative who’s billed on her frequent Fox appearances as a contributor, said Obama “didn’t give a s–t” about his speech against terrorism he delivered Sunday night, right before he headed out to a star-studded event at the Kennedy Center.
Fox senior executive vice president Bill Shine was quick to respond to the slip-ups.
“Fox contributors Lt. Col. Ralph Peters and Stacey Dash made comments on different programs that were completely inappropriate and unacceptable for our air,” he said, in remarks reported by CNN Money. “Fox Business Network and Fox News Channel do not condone the use of such language and have suspended both Peters and Dash for two weeks.”
The producers of “Outnumbered,” the Fox News show Dash regularly appears on, were able to partially bleep her comment. But Peters’ remarks made it on air.
He made the comments while speaking with Stuart Varney during a Fox Business Network interview. Shortly after speaking, Varney said to him: “You can’t use language like that on the program, OK?”
Varney then requested Peters apologize, and Peters did.
Dash, meanwhile, tweeted a response to her suspension.
“Consequences,” she wrote, CNN Money found. “Some of us have to pay them. Gladly.”
