Rick SANCHEZ's inner idiot re-emerges (freaks over the metric system)

[UTUSN]

For years (except the last couple) he has been an industry joke. Too bad I lost my SANCHEZ file in a computer crash. His appalling performances date back to the Elian days. But aside from the scary and disastrous DWI car crash, he was known for bizarrely ignorant blurtings on the air and antics like having himself tasered into a babbling puddle.

So there have been at least two mysteries about him: 1) How he has been re-hired in one venue after another, from local, to MSNBC, to CNN, and possibly all of them more than once, and 2) How in his most recent incarnation on CNN he has enjoyed a very warm following here on DU. I don't know because I've never seen his new Self, but I gather that he deserved this praise because of some Keith-like pronouncements against Rethugs and confrontations with them.

Anyway, apparently Demon Math has once again summoned his inner Airhead from its pod.

CNN's Rick Sanchez: Exponentially More Assy Than Usual, Not a Fan of Metric System

Bloggers are now noting CNN's Rick Sanchez, while covering the Chilean earthquake and oncoming tsunami in Hawaii, acted in a manner befitting "an ejaculation that should have been swallowed." If you have video of this, shout. Update! We've got video.

Rick Sanchez, to a scientist: "Nine meters in English is what?"


Ha. In Portuguese, now! Also, via Dan "Slim Shady" Abrams' Mediaite, Drew Grant grabs video. Highlights:

1:37: Rick Sanchez trying to explain to his viewers, who are apparently too stupid to understand the most basic law of "every reaction" physics: "The yang of that yin.."

1:46: Rich Sanchez screaming at this poor weather nerd: "I'm not asking you to do 27 to 27, I'm asking you if there's a drop, will there be an increase?!?"

Also, more Rick "No Shit, Sherlock" Sanchez here:

2:20: "But what we can say is—tell me if I'm wrong—there is a tsunami there, and it was just detected, that it caused a 27-foot drop."

Maybe if he lived life like fellow anchor Jeffrey Toobin—Toobinstyle—he wouldn't be so anal. Or at least, anal like this. If you know what I mean. I'm talking about Jeffrey Toobin being an ass man. An ass sex man. But for now, Rick Sanchez is just an asshole.

.... Although he initially thrived at WSVN, Sanchez originally left the station when it was discovered that 1985 wiretaps recorded him trading favors with Alberto San Pedro, a self-proclaimed political fixer described by police as "a major corrupter in Hialeah" and who following a federal grand jury indictment for bribery of a federal public official and conspiracy to commit bribery, pled guilty to the conspiracy charge. ....

Sanchez is known for immersing himself into his stories. He has been submerged in water inside a car to explain how to best escape a sinking vehicle, been shocked by a "shock belt" to explain firsthand how overpowering the device could be when placed on prisoners, been subjected to waterboarding for a story about the controversial interrogation/torture technique, and been left atop a snow-covered mountain overnight to help explain what would be needed to survive the elements should one get stranded. His style has been parodied by Saturday Night Live (NBC) and The Daily Show.<3> ....

Controversy
On December 10, 1990, Sanchez struck a pedestrian, Jeffrey Smuzinick, with his car on a residential street near Dolphin Stadium .<5> Smuzinick was paralyzed and eventually died in an assisted living facility in 1995.<5><3> Sanchez had just left an NFL football game with his father when the accident occurred, and he fled the scene of the accident, not to return until hours later. Police officers at the scene later reported that he smelled strongly of alcohol, and when tested, he registered a blood alcohol content of .15. He was not charged with causing the accident, but was charged with and pleaded no contest to DUI. ....

1. LOL!1 - Ode to my faithfully stalking UnReKKKer!1

Dear One,

Guess what, not EVERY thread posted is worth EITHER a Rec OR an UnReKKK!1 And I myself said many times during the Great Debate on UnReKKK that I never look at the Greatest Page and regard it mostly as a tool for Visitors, like media types, who don't have the time to delve through the entrails of DU, but how I DO a lot of Rec-ing (obviously, for OTHERS), both for merit and to keep worthy topics from falling through the cracks.

Ah, you DISAPPROVE of thread after thread!1 Woe, WOE is you, YOU!1 Kisses to make your sour woe all better for you --actually, NOT!1

Too Hot For Print: CNN Anchor Jeffrey Toobin's Rumored XXX Sex Fetish

In the Things We Want To Unlearn department, we have now heard what the Daily News couldn't print in today's Rush & Molloy item about CNN anchor Jeffrey Toobin's sexual advances towards a "well-known media figure."

Previously: Toobin's sexual history as the father of a lovechild with CBS anchor Jeff Greenfield's 36 year-old daughter recently came out, and today, Rush & Molloy ran a double-blind on us: a well-known media figure got some pretty lewd advances from Toobin, among other interesting revelations, like how he reportedly hung around a swingers club a little too long while working on a story, enjoyed watching, was shy about participating, for one. Also, he met a "well-known media figure" at a party 15 years ago, and said something dirty to her: ....

Well, here's what we've heard: while we still don't know who the "well-known media figure" at the center of this is, nor what she said to her, specifically, we have heard from a tipster who asked to remain anonymous that multiple women alleged Toobin was into...
...anal sex and fisting, and had a bit of what could be deemed an "anal fixation," though nobody reported any allegations of "rimming" or "salad tossing" or whatever you're going to call it that will help me not explain exactly how that works. Specifics! Kind of.

Come on, it was 1995, I guess? I know, even I thought it was dirtier, and I was bar-mitzvah'd and confirmed. That would certainly explain his deeply penetrative reporting on the Supreme Court? Whatever, we all have our crazy sh..tuff.

Anyway, consider that lesson learned: if you're a media figure on the rise and say some dirty craziness to someone else who will eventually become a "well-known media figure," you better close the deal. Otherwise said media figure lady will eventually talk to a gossip reporter, and they'll report it, and then a blogger will want to know what was too dirty for the Daily News, put a call out for tips, get one, and report it. Also, commenters, all of you are perverts. The end.

13. How else do you think we get more republicans?

Stinking Assholes don't just spring out of nowhere...

6. I was watching CNN when this was on...

I was appalled at his total loss of control, he really did scream at the guest scientist who was attempting to explain exactly what Sanchez yelled at him. I was very impressed with the guest in that he didn't tell Sanchez to find someone else to abuse and then walk off the set, instead, he continued to explain what the measurement meant.

8. Rick needs to switch to decaf n/t

12. The SNL skit:

Back when ex-CNNer Daryl KAGAN (sp?) was supposedly LIMBOsevic's squeeze:


SNL:

KAGAN: You're an idiot, Rick.

SANCHEZ: Well, you see (LIMBO) NAY-kid. And you LIIIIIKE it!1
