CNN’s Rick Sanchez Relishes Reporting that Jack Abramoff is Working at a Pizza Parlor – Video

Here is video of CNN’s Rick Sanchez relishing the opportunity to report that Jack Abramoff is out of prison and is now working in a Baltimore area Pizza Parlor. Sanchez cracks several clever lines in reporting the story, such as Abramoff “rolled in dough” all those years, and now he is “rolling the dough.” How sharp Rick is.

I post this because it says a great deal about Sanchez. Here is a man who has served four years in prison and is now trying to start his life over on the outside. Abramoff should be praised for getting off his rear end and going out to get a job. Hard work, honest work, is always something to be praised, not mocked. The fact Sanchez seemed to relish kicking this man when he is down, but trying to start over by working, says it all. His intent was to make Abramoff look bad, but what he accomplished was that he made himself look very small.

It has been four years already? Time flies.

Is that the same Rick Sanchez who killed a man while drinking and driving?

socialists don't give a rip about building up the weak.

Socialism is all about tearing down the strong!

[smokingfrog]

I think it is. I believe it was a hit and run as well. How much time did he do for that?

[hennie pennie]

I don't like Rick Sanchez; he obviously is oblivious that others fail to share his high opinion of himself.

One would have to be pretty high on the sociopathic scale to not feel a shread of empathy for Abramnoff, and one would have to be pretty low on the maturity & sanity index to not have respect for an ex-con doing hard honest work.

CNN is filled with losers.

'I think it is. I believe it was a hit and run as well. How much time did he do for that?"

Gosh, I don't think he got any time for that. They probably didn't have room with real criminals like Jack Abramoff taking up so much space.

Rick Sanchez, making d-bags all over the world feel better about themselves, just by comparison.

I loath Sanchez, so I’m glad they gave the prime time slot to Client Number Nine. They are programming geniuses.

And Abramoff is certainly strong. ...physically too. Held the bench press record at my high school 30 years ago. And I wouldn't be at all surprised if that record was still intact.

Goes to show, libs never wanted to make the world a better place, they just want control of the whip. I'm telling you..these small minded, revengeful people are going to make mincemeat out of the country in short order.

CNN, the network that has just hired Spitzer. Some class.

[dr_lew]

I always remember that line from Kung Fu, “All work is honorable”.

He meant it, too!

I'm telling you..these small minded, revengeful people are going to make mincemeat out of the country in short order.

Unfortunately, liberals always seem to escape blame for their actions.

[Vendome]

Whatever Bitch Sanchez. No one died as a result of Jack’s actions, unlike your squalid life.

I post this because it says a great deal about Sanchez.

So many "newsreaders" love to do this kind of "Aren't we all really happy that this badguy is getting what's coming to him, folks?" thing with the audience, setting themselves up as a proxy for what the Correct Response is to a situation.

It doesn't matter whether the person who's the subject deserves to be ribbed or not. What matters to me is the "newscaster" has laid down what OF COURSE should be the proper reaction to the subject of a news report.

It's one of the reasons I so loathe television (thoough I don't give a damn if everyone else likes it or watches it). It's as if because he sits in front of a camera, this guy Sanchez knows the proper response to all subjects.

Humans are more complex than that. People have many different, personal responses, even a million different shades of approval/disapproval for a story such as this.

I have a feeling he wouldn't be this way if the subject of the story was a non-white who'd murdered someone--that would be more like, "He's paid his debt to society, and now he's found a humble job."

honest living, unlike rick sanchez

[gigster]

Ah yes, Rick Sanchez. The geographical genius who tried to find Hawaii on a map and pointed to the Galapagos Islands.
Also, being a noted mathematician, he asked a meteorologist “...Nine meters in English is?”

[Tempest]

Why the hell should someone feel sympathy for Abramnoff. That’s just stupid.

[Lazlo in PA]

No wonder this so called news network is on the skids. They have this dope snickering a guy arrested for influence pedaling. It obviously isn't as glamorous as vehicular homicide while tanked on Appletinis. What's next, CNN will hire Kathleen Parker as a real conservative commentator?
