Rick Sanchez regularly delivered the Democratic Party line on his afternoon show on CNN. What CNN did not expect was that Sanchez eventually would reveal the latent anti-semitism of many Democrats.
What did Sanchez do to get fired? He told Pete Dominick on satellite radio yesterday that Jon Stewart is a bigot, and then he went off on the Jews:
Dominick: How is he [Stewart] 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? ...
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.
Firing accomplished. Sanchez did a Marlon Brando, Mel Gibson and Oliver Stone all rolled into one. Which means, I guess, he'll still get work.
