It’s no secret that Stacey Dash rubs people the wrong way. But it now appears that her employer, Fox News, is fed up with the controversial TV personality’s shenanigans.


In case you missed it, on Sunday, the Fox contributor claimed that President Obama doesn’t “give a sh*t” about terrorism when asked to comment on the president’s recent speech from the Oval Office. But she wasn’t alone in her sentiments. Ralph Peters, a Fox News analyst, called the big man “a total p*ssy.”


Now, after all the outlandish things Dash has previously said, Fox News has suspended the two contributors for two weeks for using profanity to describe Obama’s strategy for dealing with terrorism. Not to our surprise, neither the former Clueless star nor Peters appear too apologetic. “Don’t worry, I’ll be back,” Peters tweeted. Dash added:

Meanwhile, Fox Senior Executive Vice President Bill Shine was quoted by CNN saying, “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 Business Network and Fox News Channel do not condone the use of such language, and have suspended both Peters and Dash for two weeks.”


If you ask us, this has been a long time coming. But is a two-week suspension enough? Sound off in the comment section below.
