Leave it to CNN host Rick Sanchez to unintentionally give us a moment of comedy in an afternoon cable news broadcast.

On "CNN Newsroom" on April 28, Sanchez interviewed Sen. Jim DeMint, R-S.C., about the departure of Sen. Arlen Specter, Pa., from the Republican Party to the Democratic Party. He asked the senator from South Carolina if Specter was correct in his analysis that the conservative wing of the Republican Party was squeezing out a segment of the electorate.

"You're shrinking the electorate to an extreme - to a point where a regular Republican can't win," Sanchez said, paraphrasing Specter. "What do you make of that argument?"

Sanchez should be required to take a breathalizer every time he goes on the air. I pity anyone that would be a passenger in his car..he should be in jail where he belongs..

Hey, you kill one guy drunk driving, and people call you a drunk driver all your life. It just ain’t fair to Rick. After all, he also got caught with some guy’s schlong in his mouth, how come nobody mentions that?

"What the hell does that mean?" Sanchez said. "I mean, the biggest tent is freedom? Freedom? I mean you got to do better than that!"

A CNN anchor cannot be expected to understand the concept of freedom and that you really cannot "do better than that."

That would explain his job security. That seems to be the best way to get promotions in the MSM.

This guy is supposed to be a reporter, right? Not a commentator, someone with a show based on his opinion, right? Becaue if that's the case (and I dont' know, not having watched the Commie News Network for many years), then that kind of destroys the "we're not biased" argument, doesn't it?

My usual view is that conservative politicians should never appear on CNN and MSNBC...But every once in a while you get a funny moment like this, which totally exposes the leftist media, that makes me reconsider.

DeMint gets it: It’s all about freedom.
