Rick Sanchez likes to talk.
As with all good things, there is a time to shut up.
Today he was fired from his job at CNN for calling Jon Stewart, the host of The Daily Show, ” a bigot”. The reason Stewart, who is Jewish and proud of it, is no good, he said, is because Jews rule CNN and all the networks.
Following a massive outpouring of condemnation, CNN fired Sanchez.
Now he has joined the ranks of the unemployed.
He reportedly has moved in with Helen Thomas until he finds a new job.
Maybe he can work for Al-Jazeera.
Sanchez, a staunch supporter of Barack Obama is going to the unemployment lines 2 years earlier than Obama himself. Have a nice day because no one will hire you now……….except maybe MSNBC who have the lowest ratings of all.
I listened to the entire interview. What comes through more than Sanchez’ misguided anti-semitism is his own inferiority complex at being an Hispanic-American (thinking of himself as second class) and his palpable jealousy of Jon Stewart’s popularity. He doesn’t seem to be very well educated and I think this lack of intellectualism is a sore point. Thus, the hackneyed, “Blame the Jews, blame the Jews…” A few more books and a little less bluster would seve him well.
