e've seen the mainstream media afflicted with Palin Derangement Syndrome. We've experienced the media in the throes of Bush Derangement Syndrome. Over at CNN, which modestly styles itself as the most trusted name in news, there's now an outbreak of Joe the Plumber Derangement Syndrome.
Last week CNN Newsroom anchor Kyra Phillips went after Joe. Today, it was CNN Newsroom anchor Rick Sanchez's turn at bat. Mustering as much blow-dried earnestness as possible, he relieved himself of an editorial on what's nominally a news program:

But in related news, does anyone have the email of Rick Sanchez? I'd love a chance to explain to him what a pompous self-righteous horse's patoot he is.
There’s a great comment by USA4freedom on the Newsbusters page above. I encourage everyone to read it.
Sanchez is beneath contempt.
My dad never used his first name because he hated it. If anyone ever called him Sam, they were not a friend. It was delicious irony to see some officious bloviator glad-hand my dad and call him Samuel! They had no idea of the seething disgust that caused.
Rick Sanchez is a complete as#.
As a photography nut I often browse SportsShooter.com, which is infested with MSM types. Over there they’re all going nuts over this whole issue.... they can’t believe someone who is not a “professional journalist” could possibly report on anything. It’s quite fun to watch the gnashing of teeth.
