BREAKING: Rick Sanchez Fired From CNN

CNN released this statement today:

“Rick Sanchez is no longer with the company. We thank Rick for his years of service and we wish him well.“

They will broadcast CNN Newsroom from 3-5pm for the foreseeable future.

Here’s more from the story earlier today: CNN’s Rick Sanchez is not happy with being made fun of constantly on The Daily Show and Colbert Report. It is from this jumping off point that he absolutely unleashed on Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert, and at times his own network, on Pete Dominick’s satellite radio show yesterday.

The big takeaway – Sanchez calls Stewart “a bigot,” then walks it back a bit, and he implies CNN is run by Jews.

Zactly!
Geraldo or Shepard.

An ode to Rick "Dirty" Sanchez...

[Walts Ice Pick]

I heard the interview and didn’t think the guy said anything all that outrageous. PC police run wild!

[Riptides]

You misspelled his name.
It’s spelled pRick.
Have a nice weekend!

[True Republican Patriot]

From what Universe have You defended from?

Geraldo is Hispanic and brags about it all the time and he certainly isn’t Jewish! Just listen to the Quack sometime.

[ladyvet]

Wow, I guess I missed out. I don't even know who the guys is, never watched him.

“Keith Olberman will also have a career changing blow up. He just can’t stand the return of conservatism.”

That will be entertaining and will earn him good ratings. MSNBC will approve.

Sanchez did something different. He trash talked his own team, CNN. That is disloyalty, not entertainment.

And it sounded nutty too.

AMF Ooooohhhh Let me guess! The "A" stands for Adios? Do I get a cookie?

I'm guessing he'll be the color commentator for Lucha Libre. We should get a pool going.

(To DU trolls, color commentator is NOT a racist comment)

Sanchez should have been fired years ago. I was starting to think he had pictures of senior CNN execs in sexual situations with farm animals.

[fkabuckeyesrule]

He was a short0timer anyways. Well I dont think he’ll get a job with NBC or Viacom since they like Stewart. Maybe Bravo?

[Fresh Wind]

Geraldo is Hispanic and brags about it all the time and he certainly isn’t Jewish!

Whoraldo's mother is Jewish, and his father was Hispanic. He was raised Jewish and had a Bar Mitzvah at the appropriate age.

[anniegetyourgun]

He’ll prolly have a heart attack soon anyway.

[Vermont Lt]

Your just saying that because he’ cuban.

(I am kidding of course...)

[Dapper 26]

Rick who?

[RckyRaCoCo]

Sanchez should have been fired years ago. I was starting to think he had pictures of senior CNN execs in sexual situations with farm animals.

Well, Ted Turner is selling buffalo meat....just say'n.

[668 - Neighbor of the Beast]

Oh dear. Is Gloria Allred busy? Somebody call her quickly! She can prove Rick was a bigot years ago and CNN knew it full well.

Rules. A Julie Banderas mention deserves one of these:

[I still care]

Over and over again I see it is the leftists, the progressive lib types that are really obsessed with color and race.

As they come under stress, they are the ones that start to really insult people racially, like Loretta Sanchez insulting Vietnamese.

This should not surprise anyone. They put everyone in their little victimhood catagory of race, we should not be surprised when they focus on it, positively or negatively.

They love to label and stereotype, especially according to skin color. Did they not elect a president because he was half black?
