Rick Sanchez Deserved Dave's Wrath

[Melk]

Mr. Above-it-All, the Master of Ceremonies at the Shorty Awards, Dave's Enemy: Mr. Richard Shanchez has a slip of the tongue.

Rick Sanchez Calls Obama 'Cotton Picking President,' Apologizes (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/08/30/rick-sanchez-calls-obama-_n_699616.html)

Rick Sanchez referred to Barack Obama as the "cotton picking president" on CNN Monday (h/t Mediaite).

Sanchez made the comment in a discussion with CNN correspondent Jessica Yellin on "Rick's List" about the many falsehoods that have been spread about Obama, such as the claim that he is a Muslim or that he is not a citizen of the United States. His voice rising in frustration, Sanchez asked Yellin why people continued to believe the false rumors:

"He is the cotton picking president of the United States! If the president of the United States doesn't have enough of a bully pulpit to convince people that...a lie is a lie...what the hell is going on here?"

After a commercial break, Sanchez immediately apologized. He said that soon after he had used the phrase, people had started contacting him on Twitter, pointing out that he had just used it when referring to a black man -- an insensitive reference, they thought, given the phrase's connections to slavery.

"You know I didn't even realize it?" he said. "I was just saying 'cotton picking' because it's a term that I've used because I grew up in the South...however, I apologize for using it, in case it was taken by anyone as an act of disrespect."

"You know I didn't even realize it?" he said. "I was just saying 'cotton picking' because it's a term that I've used because I grew up in the South...however, I apologize for using it, in case it was taken by anyone as an act of disrespect."

I thought he said he was raised in a "Barrio"?

Or was this one of them thar cotton pickin' southern type bahr-eh-oh's?

[sailor]

No big wop.

[realmenhatelife]

Foghorn Leghorn's twitter blows the fuck up.

[Melk]

I thought he said he was raised in a "Barrio"?
Ha ha ha. I forgot about that. He did claim he was raised in the barrio and thus knew how to cup his balls when a rusty-headed lunatic rushes the stage.

[Melk]

Will the boring lhama defend him?

Will the public care about her owner's opinion?

[Barnaby Jones]

Taze his fat ass again!

[Furtherman]

I have no idea how that man has his own show. He is a fool.

[Kevin]

[fezident]

LOL. He hates niggers. LOLZ!

[Melk]

I saw Goodwife Sanchez communing with Satan! He and Tituba put a hex on my crops!I feel the effects of ergot poisoning, er, witchcraft making me need to vomit.

I am not advocating getting Mr. Sanchez fired, but I think it is funny that he is getting flack for running his mouth.

He grew up in the "barrio" of Hialeah, Florida.

[hanso]

I don't mind his CNN show. When there is nothing else on. But for Pete's sake must you show the whole long ass boring speech of Sarah Palin ? That was a channel changer.

[Jayw]

Seriously I haven't read the reply's but this dude is a major piece of shit. Hope he dies.

[Furtherman]

I have no idea how that man has his own show. He is a fool.

His show, Rick's List, is gone as of today. What took CNN so long?

Rick Sanchez Calls Jon Stewart “A Bigot”; Says CNN Is Run By Jews (http://www.mediaite.com/online/rick-sanchez-calls-jon-stewart-a-bigot-says-cnn-is-run-by-jews/)

Rick Sanchez fired from CNN (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/10/01/rick-sanchez-jon-stewart-_n_746764.html)

I guess those "Jews running the media" don't like to be called out on it. :devil2:

A reporter of Sanchez caliber should have no problem getting another job in the news business; maybe he can get a gig interning at a central NJ NPR outlet. :wink:

I get this feeling that he is going to be seen in an interview a few years down the road about having seizure disorder like Mike Adamle (though to be fair to Adamle, he was just prone to daily malapropisms.)

Lol @ video ^


Shocking news from the multiplex! This was his lead in when he did my local news on svn. Wonder what his next gig will be.

[Willmore]

The sad part is that he's not the exception to the rule. Those teleprompter monkeys can barely read, let alone construct complex thoughts in their head.
