"Actual dicks aren't able to take offense . . . ."

So Time editor Mark Halperin calls the President of the United States "a dick" on national television, and talk-show host Joe Scarborough reacts with "Oh my God!"

But calling people a dick. It's rude, but actual dicks aren't able to take offense, and even if they were, they wouldn't determine your fate in the afterlife.
