Rick Sanchez Gives Respect to Newscasters
On The Daily Show tonight Jon Stewart shared a click of Rick Sanchez on CNN interviewing a republican senator from South Carolina, Rick DeMint. Sanchez is asking him about the Arlen Spectar switch to the democratic party and he gives some ridiculous answer, and Sanchez calls him out. Here is a transcript:
Sanchez asks about Specter’s reasoning for the switch:
DeMint gives a ridiculous answer:
The freedom tent? Really? That was a typical nonsense political answer and usually reporters let politicians off the hook with that, but today Sanchez took a stand:
CNN’s Sanchez on the Concept of Freedom in Specter Aftermath: ‘What the Hell Does That Mean?’ | NewsBusters.org via kwout
Wow! That was exactly what I was thinking. The exchange is even better when you watch it, thank goodness for YouTube!
I don’t know much about Rick Sanchez, except that he apparently let himself be tasered for a news story, but I like him. On a side not, watching Specter speak today made me feel even more strongly that we need to start setting term limits. Someone who has been in the Senate for 29 years can not possibly be in touch with society. Yeah, some of them are using Twitter, but I still don’t feel connected.
