Nice One!

As Betty Cracker says, I don’t generally have a whole lot of use for Rick Sanchez, who seems like he really missed his calling as understudy to The Weather Channel’s Jim Cantore, but watching him serve it up to “Joe” the “Plumber” in the clip above is already my No. 1 Media Moment of 2009.

Enjoy!

    Damn! Did CNN pass out some balls that day or something? Me thinks that reporting and journalistic integrity may be making an ever so slight comeback.

    Could it be that with the demise of the Never-ending Neo-con Buffet we might hear some truth on the squawk box instead of talking heads regurgitating the daily talking points from Turdblossom’s poisonous and vile fantasies?

    Since Rick Sanchez smacked down the Neo-con posterboy troll like that, I actually may have to change my opinion of him. Kudos, Rick!

    Trex…glad to have you back. We missed you.

    gad struth.

    he’s back.

    apologies for being a smart arse about the Russian comments.
    what did they say anyway?

    and

    your soon-to-be-president has an Irish ancestor (why am i not surprised)
    i have this theory.

    some people say the markets rule or the commies rule or the islamics or zionists rule or the mafia rules.

    i reckon they are all wrong.

    it’s the Irish!it is it is to be sure.

    ask around.every race or creed.sooner or later you’ll come across a connection by either DNA or marraige.

    that’s why there is a slightly out of focus but nevertheless real hope for the world.

    just a theory.

    welcome back.

    sanchez is a little goofy for my tastes, but he’s been pretty down to earth, ie, reality, over the past months, imo.

    you could do worse than rick sanchez for a tv commentator, if you factor in the low standards of today’s pundits, that is to say, compared to wolf blitzer, rick sanchez is edward r. murrow.

    We really did misunderestimate John McCain, his gifts of Sarah Palin and Joe the plumber keep on giving.

    This is great! Thanks for posting it. Yeah, Not-Joe the not-plumber is an ass. But it’s so cool to hear someone on national television say it.
