Reply #31: Sorry, I don't buy that argument

[WeekendWarrior]

When a New York Yankee goes out and says something stupid, nobody thinks he's representing the New York Yankees. Sanchez wasn't there on behalf of CNN, he was there to promote Rick Sanchez. How are they supposed to announce him -- Rick Sanchez, random television personality?

I think there's a lot more to this than meets the eye and I'll be curious to see what Sanchez says if he ever makes a statement.

Call me crazy, but I'll always support an idiot's right to be an idiot, even if I don't like or agree with what he's saying. If you're going to fire Sanchez for having a lousy show with lousy ratings and coming across like such a complete, clueless buffoon that viewers are tuning out in droves, that's one thing. But firing him for expressing his moronic opinion is something else altogether.

I'm not sure when the world starting getting so fucking sensitive, but my solution to such statements is simply say, "What a jerk" and change the station. Works every time.
