He overstepped the bounds of decency with that rant -- with Palin et al., I know just how tempting that can be, but if you want to be a respected news source, there are just some things you can't say anywhere near a microphone. Keep the commentary informative and truthful, but when tempted to say things like that, take a deep breath and keep it dry in tone.

My guess is he's "spending more time with his family," and it might even be true.

He said it was possible, on air ... even though everyone knows that it would be impossible because her mouth (and head actually) are already so full of S**T that no more would ever fit.

So he got suspended for like 2 weeks for this rather egregious error.

There have been a number of times that he had problems with it and someone substituted.

He has been living with it since 2008. He appears to have adjusted to it.
