Rick Sanchez Wins Bill O’Reilly’s Pinhead Award for ‘Venting’ About FNC’s White House Seat

video
» 15 comments

Yesterday, CNN’s Rick Sanchez lamented the fact that Fox News got a front row seat, because “don’t you have to be a news organization to get that seat?” It was unclear what Sanchez’s goal was with those comments, but whatever he intended, they garnered him the illustrious “Pinhead” award on tonight’s O’Reilly Factor, and the worst attempt at “not gloating” on TV in some time.

Bill O’Reilly introduced his Pinhead of the Day award today with some bad news for CNN– “ratings are down 41% from Ms. [Campbell] Brown” since Sanchez took over (O’Reilly only calls him “the new guy”). As a result, he posits, there is some “venting going on about Fox News getting a front row seat at the White House.” O’Reilly proceeds to play the clip, and then laugh quietly at himself as he repeats several times, “I’m not going to gloat.” (Don’t believe him– he’s gloating).

    It actually takes effort to be as stupid as Ricardo , he told his guest last night that ‘ lack cojones ‘ is worse than calling someone a ‘ MF’er ‘ .

    “ratings are down 41% from Ms. [Campbell] Brown” since Sanchez took over”

    Ouch, O’Reilly really fights dirty.

    Good. This is NOT the direction CNN should be going.

    It seems Rick will dig himself onto Chinese airwaves before you know it. Campbell quit because her ratings sucked, right? How much lower than that can you go?

    Indeed. I can’t wait for Parker and Fucker.

    I kinda like Rick and not sure why. His “new” show is basically just a repeat of his show at 3pm and even in the 8pm show he repeats everything over and over. Although they all do that, since they think people will only listen/watch for about 4 min. I never watch it LIVE, I record it and watch it later in the evening when I can skip through all the repeated stuff.

    I think CNN should try something novel for American cable news. A news program.

    FROM ITS CONCEPTION,
    THROUGH YOUR RECEPTION,
    FOX IS PURE DECEPTION.

    I have a suggestion for a theme song for Rick’s new show!

    It is the “Limbo Rock” by Chubby Checkers….he could highlight the words….”How Low Could You Go!

    Sanchez is nothing more than a Geraldo-Wannabe!!
    This guy plays the Race-Card for left-wing Hispanics, almost as much as Sharpton does for his indoctrinated race-baiters!

  • Grammie

    I can’t watch him for long.

    When I have I’ve felt like I stumbled into Sanchez making mad passionate love to himself and I should give him his privacy.

    Don’t you have to be a real news commentator to talk about the news? Stick to reading tweets about how low your ratings are, ricky
