Ousted CNN anchor Rick Sanchez claimed “in primetime, there’s not a single Hispanic. There’s not a single African-American.” GMA co-host George Stephanopolous corrected the record.

From Paul Bond at the Hollywood Reporter:

In O’Donnell’s case, it was a show this week where he invoked the imagery of slavery while introducing Michael Steele, the African-American head of the Republican National Committee. O’Donnell apologized for his indiscretion on Wednesday’s show.

“Michael Steele is dancing as fast as he can,” O’Donnell began his Steele intro, “trying to charm independent voters and Tea Partiers while never losing sight of his real master and paycheck provider, the Republican National Committee.”

He made the remarks before showing a taped interview with Steele, so the interviewee didn’t hear it until viewing the TV show later. Steele called O’Donnell to complain, and O’Donnell played the voice message on Wednesday’s show. (more…)

With one simple question, Linda McMahon reveals Richard “Sgt. Toys for Tots” Blumenthal as the clueless, blithering NPR-voiced idiot he so obviously is:

It’s always about government with these “public servants,” who view the private sector as a kind of fiefdom, and their offices — in Sgt. Tots’ case, Attorney General of Connecticut — as a bludgeon.

Oops:

Fun to see the “tolerant” liberals hung with their own foul-mouthed petards. But where are the feminists when we need them?

But wait! There’s more! Turns out it might not have been an “aide’ who made the remark but the great man himself:

Every now and then, strange things happen over at MSNBC…

David Corn’s not used to be on the receiving end of the famous Matthews mouth. Expect stranger things to come as we approach the fateful date of Nov. 2.

From Politico:

On the eve of Tina Brown’s The Daily Beast’s turning two years old, Brown took to the site’s pages Tuesday to announce some big news: Howard Kurtz is joining the Beast as Washington bureau chief.

Funny, Kurtz was on Imus yesterday morning and, unless we missed it, didn’t breathe a word about it. In fact, he said this:

Kurtz’s other employer, The Washington Post, is still publishing everyday, but, like the rest of the newspaper world, is struggling to stay current amidst technological advances. Many veteran print reporters are jumping ship to online outlets like the Huffington Post.

“I’m old-fashioned enough to think that newspapers, particularly the best ones, will continue in some form,” Kurtz said. “I like turning the pages. I know young people think that sounds like something out of the stone age.”

Maybe he didn’t really mean it.  Or maybe he got tired of living in the Stone Age. Wonder when he’ll be invited back on the show.

All yours:

An audiotape has just emerged on the website of the Las Vegas Sun, capturing Sharron Angle, the Tea Party/Republican candidate, in private conversation with a third-party spoiler candidate, Scott Ashjian:

The Republicans have lost their standards, they’ve lost their principles…..Really that’s why the machine in the Republican Party is fighting against me…..They have never really gone along with lower taxes and less government…

Isn’t it fun to watch one of the bad guys go down in flames?

We love the smell of burning hypocrisy and cheap political machinations in the morning, just after they’ve been barbecued by a real lawyer and truth-seeker.

Those darn Republicans! Luckily, with the MSM and the Democrat Party now indistinguishable from each other, reporters can serve up softballs to ace press secretary Robert Gibbs and watch in awe as he smacks them out of the park!

Not to mention offer helpful suggestions of their own concerning political strategy. (more…)

**Update**:  CNN fires Sanchez. From the Hollywood Reporter:

CNN issued a statement Thursday announcing that anchor Rick Sanchez is no longer with the network after giving a radio interview in which he insinuated Jon Stewart was a bigot and CNN was “run by Jews.”

“Rick Sanchez is no longer with the company,” the statement read. “We thank Rick for his years of service and we wish him well.”

****

Rick Sanchez, the dumbest man on television, has often been unable to control either his brain or his mouth, but when the two of them operate in tandem, oh brother. This time, it’s Jon Stewart who’s set him off. From Mediaite:

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.

Always fun when lefties start to turn on each other, playing — naturally! — the race or ethnicity or victim card.

Hear for yourself: (more…)
