    "He gone" is a famous strikeout call from the Chicago White Sox's Ken Harrelson.

    But the guy who runs CNN doesn't happen to be Jewish.

    His zero tolerance for bigotry is legendary, though.

    Moral of the story: Don't assume a clown on an anti-Semitic rant has his facts right.

    No, but Sanchez also went off on CNN during the rant, accusing the channel of being run by elitists.

    I don't get that one, either. It's not like the head of CNN is a Harvard guy. He's a former sports guy who graduated from the University of Maryland.

    Well, yeah. MAR-yland. Sports GUY. Don't you SEE, man? Read between the lines. That's as leather-patch elitist as you can get.

    Trust me. I never said that Sanchez's rant made sense. But then again, few rants do.

    BUT THIS IS THE JOURNALISM BOARD -- NOT THE SPORTS BOARD!!!

    (Ooops, I yelled; and had too many exclamation points. Damn, I just misused the semicolon too.)

    Thanks for that. Doesn't make it right, though. For reading purposes, it's very jarring.

    My girlfriend's son had a surgery on a tumor in his knee last summer. Of course, God forbid a hospital to anything at a normal hour, so we had to have him checked in at 6:30 a.m. Three-hour procedure, so went to the waiting room and hung out. I nodded off for about an hour. The minute Ms. Matador saw I was awake she said, "Thank God, you're up. Tell me who this ASSHOLE is on TV. He's said about five things that made me fucking SICK in the past hour. It's amazing how stupid he is."

    I turn my head and, sure enough...

    More stick-up-the-assish than pet-peevish.
