CNN's Rick Sanchez

[markvid]

Please tell me this guy is actually just doing the parody of an anchor...

I just heard him utter the phrase "Come out to me, Claude" so he could go back on camera.

This is a primetime national newscast? This is what CNN thinks is quality?

I remember him from WSVN in Miami when I would go there for baseball.

If I remember correctly, he would open the 10PM newscast saying "OK, South Florida, let's do this".

He's not gotten any better.

This is the same network that this morning chastised Jon Stewart for being "too hard" on McCain. Without a hint of irony.

The problem is, TV journalist is an oxy-moron.

Well, you do know what his middle name is, right?

Dec. 9, 1990 Sanchez ran over a guy outside Joe Robbie Stadium at the Eagles-Dolphins game. Left him in a chair, and he died a few years later.

Sanchez left the scene and went home.

When cops caught up with him, he said he had been drinking, allegedly because he was so distraught over what had happened. It seems obvious he was covering up that he had been drinking at the time of the accident.

On Nov. 7, 1991, he incredibly had the charges dropped. Barely anyone ever saw that news, though.

It was the same day Magic Johnson announced he had HIV.

Special place in hell for Sanchez.

He is as close to to Rick Burgundez as there is out there.

Ms. Slappy and I were watching the news tonight and stopped on the CNN broadcast from KC... watched for about 30 seconds and she changed the channel. I asked why and her response was "because this guy is an asshole."

I saw Sunday's CNN 9p.m. newscast with him anchoring....Could he get anymore full of himself?

My worst nightmare -- Sanchez anchoring at the local level with Van Earl Wright doing sports. God Forbid!!!

Hadn't heard the hit and run story about him.....Doesn't help my opinion of him.

Is that reward $5,000, 5,000 pesos, or $5,000 worth of pesos? Because if it's 5,000 pesos, that won't buy you a bottle of agua at Starbuques ...

I never knew I had the capability to sniff out true jackassery just from appearances, but I've never liked Sanchez and didn't know about his hit-and-run antics.

CNN's gotta do something about its anchors. I applauded dumping Miles O'Brien from American Morning, because he is just a Massive Tool. I'm not digging the new AM team and Tony Harris, who comes on at 9:00 a.m. sounds like 1970s AM radio DJ. Whoever said that Rick Sanchez is close to Ron Burgundy wasn't far off.

Does he like to show off his guns?

Ron Burgundy: Boy, that escalated quickly... I mean, that really got out of hand fast.
Champ Kind: It jumped up a notch.
Ron Burgundy: It did, didn't it?
Rick Sanchez: Yeah, I ran over a guy with my car.
Ron Burgundy: I saw that. Rick killed a guy. Do you drive a Volvo?
Rick Sanchez: Yeah, there were horses, and a man on fire, and I killed a guy with my Volvo.
Ron Burgundy: Rick, I've been meaning to talk to you about that. You should find yourself a safehouse or a relative close by. Lay low for a while, because you're probably wanted for murder.
