Nicole knew Halperin was a right wing shill long before he called President Obama a "dick" on national television.  Just listen to this interview from early 2008

After some annoying technical problems at the beginning of the show, Nicole got started with a conversation with Huffington Post's Ryan Grim about the president's press conference yesterday and where we stand on raising the debt ceiling.  Media Matters' Eric Boehlert joined in to talk about the end of Glenn Beck's tv show tonight.  And comedian Julianna Forlano of the Ironic News made her debut appearance on the show.
