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.

Oh No! The Blue Meanie.
LOL.
Why should John McCain be punished because a supporter made an observation, and Amy Holmes should not have “conservative” near her name after this exchange.
That critter looks like what resides inside of Hillary.
What about Obama calling Cheney a crazy uncle in the attic?
Sounds like he’s a Whorealdo wannabe.
Cause he’s a LIBERAL!
Yep. As I predicted a while ago, the Clinton campaign strategy is going to be to VICTIMIZE her - all the way to the Whitehouse.
That is the ONLY way she could get enough votes. This cannot be an election FOR Hillary Clinton. It will have to be an election AGAINST her Republican opponent. It looks like Sanchez got his campaihn memo already. They must figure they might as well start victimizing her right away. So, John McCain called Hillary a b-—h? By McCain not castigating a supporter on the spot, that is the same as if he called her that apt title himself??? What a stretch.
Anyway, http://youtube.com/watch?v=J6tS485xgSQ this is the video to which I refer regarding the Hillary strategy. I get to it about 4 minutes into “part I”. Unless we nominate a candidate who is beyond reproach, they are going to get “Lazio”d right into the doghouse.
I know how some here feel about Huckabee (whom I support) so forget about that aspect for the purpose of this discussion. If you are not a supporter of Giuliani, Romney or Paul, I love your candidate too.
Politics requires some palatable compromises and my support is based upon my GOP Primary strategy of NOT picking the candidate who most resembles my views - but rather - picking the Republican who most represents my views whom I also believe could be elected by the people in the GENERAL ELECTION. The requisite is that they have to be against infanticide and support Christian values.
God bless.
Arb
fled the scene too
killed a guy drunk at Joe Robbie around 1990 and fled scene
HRC “bitch” ping!
I agree with your perception of this. I know women who wear the term “bitch” proudly. They aren’t militant feminists either.
I’ll apologize for McCain: Hillary, I’m very sorry that you’re a bitch. Feel better?
I prefer neo-Stalinist.
What’s the big deal? Hitlery is a certifiable BITCH; just ask anyone that has had dealings with her, like Vince Foster.
“Rick Sanchez....drunk manslaughterer.”
What’s the story on this I haven’t heard this before?
So, it's OK to call Ann Coulter the B word but not Hillary.
This CNN fella Rick Sanchez is nothing but a no good son of a b**** and an a**hole.
He and the rest of the MSM had best get used to Hillary being labeled the B word becuase he and the rest of the MSM like it being said or not Hillary is a b****.
This b**** is bad news for America. There's no America will survive with er as president.
Regards.........
Don't you mean Co-whores?
