More Sanchez bashing…
The Miami New Times’ Kyle Munzenrieder blasts Rick Sanchez for what happened Saturday with Sanchez’s tsunami anchoring…
Our longstanding love-hate relationship with former WSVN turned CNN anchor Rick Sanchez continues, and as it does more often than not, it’s veering more toward hate at the moment.
This weekend he got a chance to break out of his Twitter-addicted regular show on CNN, to host some of the network’s coverage of the earthquake on Chile, and uh, it was pretty painful. In the clip above he apparently thinks Hawaii is located off the coast of Peru.
Update: Sanchez addressed this today and Mediaite has the video…

Funny if it wasn’t so pitiful. Yet another candidate for the Steve Ducey ‘Dumb as a Post’ award.

– ‘Dumb as a Post’ award. –
Ooh. Award names for Not-Quite Excellence in Journaliam. How about the ”Ainsley-Friel Annual ‘WTF’ Award”?

This is awesome. Sanchez is translating for the mayor of Concepcion. “Look at me, I speak Spanish!”

We just refer to him as Dirty Sanchez.

Sanchez pointed to the Galapagos Islands and asked if they were Hawaii.

We have no idea what that means, and are probably the better for it.

-Sanchez pointed to the Galapagos Islands-
I didn’t see it but wondered if that was what he did. Perhaps we’ll see him show up on The Tonight Show’s “Jaywalking” segment.

Have to give the man credit for fessing up and apologising.
Also,I don’t think he was wrong when he asked, ‘What’s that in English?” because it’s called the “English system of measurement”, idn’t it?

– “English system –
It just has that ‘ugly American’-ring to it.
