Is it OK for journalists to call the president an idiot?

For falling off a Segway? At least President Bush didn't break three of his bones, the way Morgan did.

Yes, this is just mean.

That's only one of several reasons.
There are no laws against it, and there's actually one law protecting such statements.

I see nothing wrong with this, but I wouldn't expect for him to be called on at a Bush press conference either.

There are some other reasons that I could think of to call Bush an idiot, though this might not be one.
