Rick Sanchez; major jackass.
Rick Sanchez might possibly be the biggest jackass in the entire world. This article doesn't really do him justice. I remember, shortly after hurricane Andrew him postulating, based on the Channel Seven "sky scam" helicopter images of the destruction in South Dade County, that "there must be 10,000 people dead down there;" as my co-worker who hadn't heard from her brother or sister in days burst into hysterics.

This man is a menace. He's the only person I've ever seen swagger while sitting, by the way.

He really has no place on T.V. Or maybe, he does. Who knows? I just know for years now, whenever a tire screeches on the way out of a Dolphin's game someone always says, "Watch out! It's Rick Sanchez!"

From the Miami "New Times," all about Mr. Sanchez of MSNBC fame:

"The most in-depth critique comes from Barry Crimmins, a veteran political humorist who wrote a web column this fall about Sanchez. Crimmins was upset that the MSNBC talker happily called the tale of death and destruction in Palestine a "great story."

"I couldn't believe someone could employ a superlative after seeing a tale of such boundless grief and horror," Crimmins wrote. "But then, this was my first dose of Rick Sanchez."

Crimmins then recounts the Sanchez experience:

Within the next few segments, Sanchez demonstrated that he is a media post-9/11 wonder. He's quick to editorialize, smugly supportive of the Purported War on Terror, and always interrupting what little information trickles in from other MSNBC staffers and guests. Cable news has become a word-association test for dopes like Sanchez.

Holding up a headline from a New York tabloid about violence in Bethlehem, he expressed outrage by bellowing, "BETHLEHEM -- WHERE JESUS WAS BORN!" Now there was something we needed in a story about the Middle East -- religious zealotry from a news anchor.
