Fox suspends Ralph Peters, Stacey Dash for profanity on air

Fox News has suspended two contributors for using profanity to describe President Obama's strategy for dealing with terrorism.

Ralph Peters, a Fox News analyst, called President Obama "a total pu$$y" while appearing Sunday on Fox Business Network to comment on the president's Sunday night speech from the Oval Office.

Stacey Dash, a Fox contributor, said the president didn't "give a sh!t" about terrorism.

Peters and Dash confirmed their suspension on Twitter. "Don't worry, I'll be back," Peters tweeted.

"Consequences. Some of us have to pay them. Gladly," Dash tweeted.

"Earlier today, Fox contributors Lt. Col. Ralph Peters and Stacey Dash made comments on different programs that were completely inappropriate and unacceptable for our air," Fox senior executive vice president Bill Shine was quoted as saying by CNN. "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."
