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.

I guess he didn't want to have a job now he is one of Obamas unemployed I bet MSNBC is thinking hard about whether offer a contract but his mouth may keep them from following through, remember the Schuster incident.

Question who will replace Sanchez, any other formers pols who have been booted from office? Not like CNN has any scruple's!

I thought yours was first but never mind.

It’s oooops and he’s gone. No details, yet.

Did he say something specific that prompted his firing>

[counterpunch]

Didn’t Rick Sanchez already have trouble at CNN and was on probation for bad behavior?
Something to do with a failed pilot for another network, right?

[clintonh8r]

Ironic that a Jew (owner of WSVN in Miami) gave L’il Ricky his big break in TV.

[God luvs America]

how soon before he returns to pmsnbc??

[kaehurowing]

There’s always MSNBC. Sanchez sounds more like their kind of person anyway.

[GeronL]

[Beaten Valve]

Scratched from his own list!

[tennmountainman]

ACLU vs CNN. That ought to be great entertainment.

[MissesBush]

Ed’s a dog shooter.

Probably because they keep turning down his sexual advances.

[TheThirdRuffian]

Liberals and they JOOoooooooooos hate.

So odd. I really think it is a mental disease.

[dfwgator]
