Mark Halperin was lambasted by MSNBC and the White House after his headline-making comment yesterday on Morning Joe—but not by Jon Stewart. The Daily Show host called the incident "maybe one of the greatest things I've ever seen in my life. ... Mark Halperin, senior political analyst, editor-at-large of Time magazine, just called the president a dick!" But even better than Halperin's original comment was his apology, which was hilariously "chaperoned by show regular Willie Geist's disapproving glare." Watch the clip to see how Stewart thinks we should use said glare in the future. (More Jon Stewart stories.)
