Fired CNN anchorman Rick Sanchez, who cut his broadcast teeth at WSVN-Channel 7 in Miami for nearly 20 years, phoned comedian Jon Stewart yesterday to apologize for calling him “a bigot” in the rant about “Jews owning the media” that got Sanchez canned Friday.

When Page2Live reached motor-mouthed Sanchez in his Atlanta home this morning, he sounded shell-shocked after his record-fast firing and the snowballing of the story online. Sanchez said he is not allowed to comment and hung up the phone, but did add he has no plan to return to South Florida.

Then, the Cuban-American Sanchez’ wife, Suzanne, took to Facebook to announce that the 52-year-old Sanchez had a 30-minute conversation with Stewart Monday afternoon. While Sanchez has been known for his clownish antics on-the-air, there was no doubt Sanchez meant it.

1. Who cares, Sanchez?

Seriously. Keep quiet for a few months and then trot out your apology.

10. Yeah.

I'd be more impressed if he could shut his effing mouth for a couple weeks.

3. One wonders would he have, had he not been fired.

4. All Rick needs is another good tasering and he will be fine.

His work really improved after the last one and the poor guy was over due for a tune up.


IMO they should taser all of the CNN newspeople every six months or so.

5. Dirty Sanchez has always been an ignorant asshole.

I wonder if he was half-drunk when he spouted off in that interview, and couldn't stop saying what he was really thinking.

7. He's a Mel Gibson wannabe

will be hired by Fox in the not too distant future.

9. LOL!

Is there any doubt that those around Sanchez that have even a lick of sense explained to him that he royally fucked up and that his ONLY chance at salvaging anything resembling a career would be to apologize loud, long and often. Knowing jerk-offs like Sanchez over the last few decades has convinced me that there is no doubt that he truly believes what he uttered. This apology is simply his desire (greed) to make money pulling rank over his inner bigot. One can almost hear Mrs. Sanchez calling him a dumbass and demanding that he immediately start puckering to kiss some serious ass. She knows those country club dues aren't gonna pay themselves. Cheers!
