I was thinking a trip to Hawaii would be more appropriate ... if he can find it on the map!

Just damn, indeed.... >From Politico: Sanchez out at CNN Rick Sanchez lost his job at CNN on Friday, just 24 hours after giving a satellite radio interview in which he called Jon Stewart a “bigot” and suggested that Jews run CNN and other media companies. “Rick Sanchez is no longer with the company,” CNN said in a statement. “We thank Rick for his years of service and we wish him well.“ CNN said it would broadcast CNN Newsroom from 3-5pm for the foreseeable future. The CNN host has been the frequent butt of "Daily Show" jokes, which may have contributed to his ill-considered comments yesterday on Pete Dominick’s satellite radio show. First, Sanchez called Jon Stewart a “bigot,” though he walked the comments back a bit later. Dominick: How is he a bigot? >Sanchez: I think he looks at the world through, his mom, who was a school >teacher, and his dad, who was a physicist or something like that. Great, I’m >so >happy that he grew up in a suburban middle class New Jersey home with >everything >you could ever imagine. >Dominick: What group is he bigoted towards? >Sanchez: Everybody else who’s not like him. Look at his show, I mean, what >does >he surround himself with? > Then, he suggested that CNN is run by Jews. I’m telling you that everybody who runs CNN is a lot like Stewart, and a lot of people who run all the other networks are a lot like Stewart, and to imply that somehow they, the people in this country who are Jewish, are an oppressed minority? Yeah. > CNN fired Octavia Nasr this summer for a tweet expressing respect for a Lebanese cleric tied to Hezbollah who had died. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "World News Now Discussion List" group.
