Eight months after he got hit by Channel 7 anchorman Rick Sanchez's Volvo, Jeffrey Smuzinick is doing poorly. His family is just plain doing poor.

...
Minutes after midnight on the morning of December 10, 1990, an intoxicated Smuzinick darted out in front of a Volvo on a residential street near Joe Robbie Stadium. The driver of the car, WSVN-TV Channel 7 anchorman Rick Sanchez, became the subject of a subsequent January 16 New Times story that described the odd circumstances of the accident. Sanchez, whom a Metro-Dade police officer said "smelled strongly of alcohol," first stopped his car but then later left the scene. A blood test to determine Sanchez's sobriety was not administered until an hour and fifteen minutes after the collision. Though Sanchez says he tried to aid Smuzinick at the scene of the accident and flag down motorists, eyewitnesses claim the anchorman ignored the injured man and loudly told police and bystanders that blood tests were pointless, and would hurt his public image.

Once a liar, always a liar.

[basil]

Is this the same guy who is now apologizing to Rush for “Not checking out” his lies he was telling on his broadcast?

[Brown Deer]

That is the same Rick Sanchez from CNN.

[True Republican Patriot]

Twenty Million Concerned Listeners should go after this Wretch of a Human Being and remind the WORLD how he mowed down a Human Being while reeking of Alcohol and then RAN AWAY Like the Coward He has recently again proven he is with his Outright Fraudulent Lies concerning ELRUSHBO!

IMO, anyone that would even work for CNN is a lowlife.

[La Lydia]

OK, but the big mystery here is, why didn’t the victim sue Sanchez? I find it hard to believe there are no junk-yard dog lawyers in Miami.

[basil]

Just another reason why I never turn on a tv set—except late at night to watch the forensic shows. Life is good without the television blaring away——

[Brown Deer]

I don’t waste my money on cable.

CNN aristocrat Don Sanchez is member of several protected classes.
Whats his name the Polack or whatever is obviously none of the above.

[Right Wing Assault]

I am surprised someone hasn’t beaten Sanchez into a coma.

[basil]

I have no idea if Tru TV is on cable or not. If it is, it's well worth whatever it costs to me. It's my late night entertainment until I fall asleep.

To each his own, as the old saying goes.

...and would hurt his public image...yeah, the same rationale Kennedy used in allowing a girl to drown - despicable......
