Get Rick Sanchez?

The Daily’s Rachel Solomon blasts Rick Sanchez for a comment he made regarding Sarah Palin’s resignation…

But CNN anchor Rick Sanchez spouted off the most contentious remark this side of Bristol Palin’s abstinence campaign: “Hey, could she be pregnant again?”

My own rather unfavorable view of the Alaskan politician aside, this ludicrous speculation oozed sexism. Sanchez, unsatisfied with suggestions of legal issues or ethics complaints casting Palin as somewhat of a lame duck — this last possibility confirmed by Palin herself — turned to biology to resolve the situation that so baffled him.

I imagine his thought process carved the following path of logic: Sarah Palin is a woman. Women get pregnant and take time off from work. Therefore, since Sarah Palin took time off from work, she must have another bun in the oven.

While I must commend your excellent deductive skills, Rick Sanchez, your opinion of women is clearly lower than your IQ. You seem to imply that a pregnant woman is incapable of adequately doing her job, forgetting that, as with men, there are numerous reasons a woman might resign.

    O’Reilly went after him for that remark as well.

    Tweet that, Sanchez.

  3. I wouldn’t think the comment was all that outrageous, except that she’s done it before, and didn’t drop out then. As far as it being sexist, well, duh. When men start getting pregnant, we can ask them the same stupid questions we ask women.

    Maybe she killed someone while drunk driving……but that wouldn’t disqualify her from being a “journalist” at CNN.

    Red, you know Spud asked us not to drag that crap up. The guy stepped in front of a moving car and got killed…18 years ago. Let it go.

    Fine, I’ll bring up the insightful journalism Sanchez offered today on the Sotomayor hearings.

    His coverage of this important event: interviewing HIS MOM for 7 minutes, about Sotomayor.

    And CNN honestly wonders why they’re losing the ratings battle.

    Reminds of Gutfeld interviewing his mom at the end of Red Eye. Sweet, but unusual.

  8. bigred08 Says:

    Big difference. Red Eye is a comedy show. Oh wait…..maybe they’re not that different.

  9. joeremi Says:

    Big difference. Sanchez is funny.

  10. bigred08 Says:

    Unintentionally.

  11. joeremi Says:

    yeah, but Gutfield is unintentionally NOT funny.

  12. bigred08 Says:

    Despite his best intentions.
