CNN’s Rick Sanchez Is Shocked: “Sandra Bullock Kissed A Woman!”

video
» 16 comments

MTV hosted its annual Movie Awards last night, and it was its usual effervescent cocktail of entertaining self-mockery and pure promotion. While the show provided many watercooler moments, it was the rather hackneyed bit of Sandra Bullock and Scarlett Johannson‘s lip-lock that raised the bushy eyebrows of CNN host Rick Sanchez. The daytime host of Rick’s List played the part of concerned father when he asked his Carol Costello how he’d explain two women kissing to a daughter sitting on his lap? Aghast!

Clearly Sanchez wasn’t watching the live show with his daughter, else he would have realized that two women kissing each other was the LEAST of the inappropriate content not fit for daughter Sanchez’ innocent eyes: there were a number of F-bombs dropped throughout the show (and no, Joe Biden was not a guest presenter.)

    I love that expression, the old, “I’m turned on as I can be, but I’m going to play it cool.”

    Isn’t a same-sex kiss an MTV tradition? Isn’t it to be expected?

    Otherwise, Sanchez… if Ms. Bullock and Ms. Johansson had legitimate feelings for each other, you should do like you would if anyone else kissed, you’d explain about emotions and their outward expressions or something along those lines, and if they were “experimenting” or simply dating, you could probably have the same talk.

    But since it was a stunt, perhaps you could reference CNN’s “holograms” and other programming/audience tricks, then talk about the viral nature of the web and its place in the modern American publicity machine.

    OK, libs. Start it up! Rick is a bigot!

    @TylerDurden: More like a prude and I don’t know what’s going to become of his daughter, if he’s teaching her that only married people kiss. Of course, I could say something here about other unmarried women who don’t kiss, but that could be inappropriate, so I’ll leave it alone.

    That’s Brooke Baldwin, not Carol Costello.

    This was another non-story of the day. Sanchez was trying to get traction of this one, and didn’t. There is no news story here.

    CNN must be so proud of it’s talent. Just this past Sunday, Fareed blamed the FLotilla incident on GWBush.

    Typical CNNers, full of BS and bias.

  • AngelPeters

    “full of BS and bias” is not unique to CNN. Look at any outlet. All are guilty. All have agendas and political leanings.
    Sanchez’s is one of CNN’s weakest links and that is not saying much.

    If Sanchez doesn’t know what to say to his daughter regarding two women kissing, I have a terrific idea. He can keep his big mouth shut. Easy solution.

    The stunt ended with Brittany and Stone. So, why the replays?

    Its a Hollywood thing, Jeez. Get over it…..

  • ChrisNH

    This Sanchez guy…he has the ‘Going Postal’ look going on. He looks ready to literally snap. Rickie is probably getting tired of all the teasing he’s getting, but he’s a Lib Media Hack! It’s what he should expect!

    Good one King. I hope CNN doesn’t drop “Dirty” Sanchez, he’s great entertainment.

    “Hi…I have cake make-up on, and am wayyyy over paid, My name’s Rick “Dirty” Sanchez.”

    I bet its really shocking. By the way what’s with this same sex kissing in public. Seems to be the hip thing nowadays. It was Mr Hoffman last week now its Ms Bullock. And not to forget the past misdemeanour’s of others. Is this a message to the gay community that we are with ya? because I don’t understand why they do stuff in public they don’t do in doors. Its like Alice in wonderland (up side down).

  • Nachi

    Rick is VERY easily shocked. Those who know him best realize he has lotsa problems in “that” area. Very
    naive.
