NEW YORK (AP) — MSNBC suspended political analyst Mark Halperin for an off-color remark about President Barack Obama on "Morning Joe" Thursday.

"I thought he was a dick yesterday," Halperin said on Thursday's show during a discussion about Obama's news conference the day before.

Halperin, a Time magazine editor at large, quickly apologized on the air and in a statement. MSNBC suspended him indefinitely and Halperin said he believed the action was appropriate.

Halperin had prefaced his remark by asking, "Are we on the seven-second delay?" and said after that "I hope it worked."
