CNN's Sanchez Erupts Over McCain Not Rebuking Supporter Who Called Hillary a 'Bitch'

Trying to create a scandal over Republican presidential candidate John McCain's failure to rebuke a woman supporter who called Hillary Clinton a bitch, CNN's Rick Sanchez led Tuesday night's Out in the Open with what he insisted was the relevant and newsworthy topic as he seriously asked: Is John McCain done as a result of this? He later speculated: Is his campaign dead in the water?
Betraying the skew of those at CNN, Sanchez told guest Amy Holmes: He could be in trouble for this from women, especially the ones that've been talking to me today in our newsroom who heard this and were offended. Sanchez's spin matched that of left-wing bloggers, a story in Wednesday's New York Times revealed: The clip began showing on Web sites like Salon.com, the liberal site TPM.com and others, with bloggers asking why Mr. McCain had not taken the questioner to task.
Setting up the video, Sanchez haughtily intoned: You're going to hear a McCain supporter. She refers to Hillary Clinton using really what is a horrible word that is used to do nothing but demean women. Well, at the time, it was a supporter who said that. It wasn't until later on, when we watched the whole tape, which is what you're about to see, that you see McCain's reaction, or lack thereof, that we decided that this is both relevant and newsworthy, and important information to this campaign.
An older woman at an event in South Carolina had asked: How do we beat the bitch? An appalled Sanchez complained: He says 'that's an excellent question,' after somebody refers to Hillary Clinton as a B-word which rhymes with witch.

Couple of thoughts come to mind after reading this;
1. Who? Sanchez who?
2. The quote attributed to a woman involved in media in NYC back during the Nixon era, commenting ‘I don’t know how he got elected, I don’t know anybody that voted for him!’
3. CNN doesn’t have the viewership these days to effect a national election cycle one way or the other.

So if calling Hillary a bitch....
1 more reason Bill Clinton was not qualified to be President.

I cant believe sanchez took a day off from telling sob stories about poor illegal aliens and their plight. I remember a great Sanchez vs. Dobbs segment. Sanchez ripped into Lou saying he didn't understand anything about Mexicans. Lou notified Rick that his wife of 3+ decades was a Mexican and that her parents lived with them. That pretty much ended the segment since Sanchez needed a crane to lift his jaw off the floor.

The main stream media and their Democrat co horts or should I say visa versa on many things are " much to do about nothing " and this guy is making a mountain out of a mole hill.
Must be a slow news day for him so he has to create the news ( in which the MSM does anyway ), or should I say, more like create lies.
What is the next thing are they going to make a big fuss about nothing ? one of the Republican candidate's supporters spit on the ground ? forgot to put down the toilet seat ? Jay walked across the street ?
They are about creating scandal out of nothing on things that other wise would not be newsworthy.
You are right, this is getting ridiculous, and some of the sheeple with go with the flow and believe them anyway, and for the rest of Americans will just regard them even with more contempt.
The MSM is just a bad cancer that has rotten American society.

“My response, Im not a bitch;Im THE bitch ;).”
You go, girl! LOL.
I’ve never met a woman who wasn’t a bitch at some point, and I’ve met a few men who were.
Wasn’t it Newt Gingrich’s mother who called Hillary a bitch once?
