Rick Sanchez: “Is [Sharron] Angle The Greatest Thing That Ever Happened To Harry Reid?”

video
» 17 comments

CNN’s Rick Sanchez is about to take over the 8pmET hour on CNN in addition to his two hours in the afternoon with Rick’s List.

Here’s what prime time viewers can expect – a host who didn’t hold back letting his feelings on Nevada Senate candidate Sharron Angle be known.

After playing a highlight (lowlight?) reel of some of Angle’s greatest hits, Sanchez had on David Brody of the Christian Broadcasting Network who recently interviewed her. “Is Angle the greatest thing that every happened to Harry Reid, at the worst time in his life, when it looked to so many insiders like he was in trouble?” asked Sanchez.

Brody argued that the “conventional wisdom” was that Angle was a weak candidate, but with the “anti-government, anti-incumbent feel” right now, “he’s got his work cut out for him in terms of the mood of the country.”

    U.S. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid was ripped by one of his former staffers on Tuesday … from beyond the grave.
    The posthumous smack came in the form of an obituary for 84-year-old Charlotte McCourt that was published in the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
    “In lieu of flowers, vote for another more worthy candidate,” the obituary reads.

    Looks like Reid is defeating himself.

    I don’t think Ed Schultz is a fan of Reid either:

    ED SCHULTZ (10:46): Do you think here in late July of 2010, after the 2008 election, almost two years, do you think the Democrats can finally get their freaking heads screwed on right and realize that the lefties put you in office TO DO SOMETHING! TO HELL WITH THE REPUBLICANS! THEY’RE ANTI-AMERICAN! THEY’RE PSYCHO TALKERS! THEY DON’T CARE!

    SCHULTZ (11:25): How much focus has there been in the mainstream media about jobs being shipped overseas? Well, it’s happening on The Ed Show. I don’t know about anybody else’s on any other network or anywhere else. THAT’S THE STORY! THAT’S WHERE AMERICANS ARE RIGHT NOW!

    SCHULTZ (11:51): Look, Democrats, I’m your best friend. I’ve been across the country. I take thousands of emails. Our team works 16 hours a day. We do a TV and we do a radio show. I’M TRYING TO TELL YOU WHAT THE HELL’S GOING ON! But you sit back, and Harry, you are ball-less! You won’t do the nuke option for the American people and shove the Republicans into the ditch! SHOVE THOSE BASTARDS RIGHT INTO THE DIRTHOLE! This is about power! It’s about winning! It’s about saving American lives! *That’s* what this is about! And if I’m too excited or too passionate for you, I’m giving you the finger right now! Because I don’t give a damn!

    SCHULTZ (13:21): And oh by the way, the stimulus package isn’t working. That’s what O’Reilly and Ingraham, those two Nazis, are saying over on Fox News.

    I’m not sure anyone likes Reid. It’s a shame he doesn’t have a strong candidate running against him. The Chicken Lady could have beaten him, but not Mrs. John Birch.

    Poor RRK, I know you lost your job at Burger King, but would like to bet a whopper on Reid? Why don’t you try telling us how Palin could not beat Obama.

    From the normally Democrat-sympathetic Public Policy Polling. PPP pitted Barack Obama against five potential Republican challengers for the 2012 presidential campaign, and the only one Obama beat was … Jan Brewer. Even that, PPP admitted, resulted from Brewer’s lack of name recognition. The headline, though, is Sarah Palin’s dead heat with the President:
    With his approval numbers hitting new lows it’s no surprise that Barack Obama’s numbers in our monthly look ahead to the 2012 Presidential race are their worst ever this month. He trails Mitt Romney 46-43, Mike Huckabee 47-45, Newt Gingrich 46-45, and is even tied with Sarah Palin at 46. The only person tested he leads is Jan Brewer, who doesn’t have particularly high name recognition on the national level at this point.
    It’s not that any of the Republican candidates are particularly well liked. Only Huckabee has positive favorability numbers at 37/28. Romney’s at 32/33, Gingrich at 32/42, Palin at 37/52, and Brewer at 17/20. But with a majority of Americans now disapproving of Obama it’s no surprise that a large chunk of them would replace him as President if they had that choice today.
    There are two things driving these strong poll numbers for the Republican candidates. The first is a lead with independents in every match up. Romney leads 48-35 with them, Gingrich is up 50-39, Huckabee has a 46-40 advantage, Palin’s up 47-42, and even Brewer has a 38-37 edge.

    People in Nevada are smart and now they’re awake. By the time the election rolls around, they’ll know and like Angle in spite of Reids attempts at giving her one brown helmet after the other. One thing Reid has plenty of is sh*t. It wasn’t the tourists he was smellin in Washington DC.

    Moderate, if you’re going to quote something, you could at least quote it more completely.

    “We believe that Mom would say she was mortified to have taken a large role in the election of Harry Reid to U.S. Congress. Let the record show Charlotte was displeased with his work. Please, in lieu of flowers, vote for another more worthy candidate,” states the obituary.”

    The dead woman did not write her own obituary – her child(ren) did. And she’d probably be embarrassed by their decision to politicize her funeral. But what the hell do I know? She’s dead now.

    Doesn’t the left wing ever get tired of bashing white women? When are white women going to realize that minorities, mostly blacks and browns, are awful to women. They get them pregnant, leave them and come around and collect their welfare checks.

  • Cubby

    Um, I don’t think it’s because she’s a white woman. I think it’s because she’s batshit crazy and doesn’t know what the hell she’s talking about.

    “Is Angle the greatest thing that every happened to Harry Reid”

    I don’t know if Sharron Angle is the greatest thing that ever happened to Harry Reid, but I know Rick Sanchez will be the greatest thing that ever happened to MSNBC and FOX. This is the guy who, among other things, didn’t know were Hawaii was and was brilliantly skewered by Jon Stewart.

    PS: Is this for real-is he really going into the 8PM slot? I thought CNN in the US was in dire straits. Maybe it’s only temporary.

    You can just smell the desperation at CNN. PUtting up Rick demonstrates they at least know they have no chance of competing with FNC, so they are going after the loons who watch Olbermann.

    Too funny.

    Rick Sanchez is the [Hispanic] version of Lou Dobbs. Rick seems to always “wanna be starting something”, imo, especially racial tensions between blacks/Hispanics vs whites. I really don’t get this special recent ‘bond’ between blacks and Hispanics, against the white race, since Obama was elected. If Obama has his way, and gives 20-50 million illegals amnesty, guess what happens, then? Hispanics will be placed in the front of the line, when it comes to affirmative action and quotas. Blacks will be pushed to the back of the line, with whites. I can’t believe, that at least one of the black activists, hasn’t figured this out, yet. This [recent] trumped-up special ‘bond’ between blacks and Hispanics, thanks to Obama, will, then, all come crashing down. Believe me, blacks are not going to be willing, to give up their place at the front of the affirmative action and quotas line, to Hispanics. Their mutual disdain for whitey, is blinding them to the consequences of their actions. Both groups may win the battle, but will lose the war. All, my candid and truthful opinion.

    CNN could use a little Cuban spice in the evenings. As for Sharon Angle, she raises pandering to a new level of awesomeness. Just another psycho talker!

    Sanchez will be the greatest thing to happen for Olbermann this century.
