Okay …
I don’t usually express the desire to see bodily harm, to any degree, put upon on person by another … well, not aloud, anyway … (and believe me … I grew up watching boxing ans shouting at the TV sitting next to my Grandfather in his smoke-filled living room) …
But I sure would pay to see Joe The Plumber make this pussy cry for his Momma more than once …

There’s bad blood here and it shows: This is nothing more or less than Sanchez’s version of an Olbermann special comment, replete with juvenile verbal tics to emphasize his contempt for his subject (“Samuel” replaces Olby’s sneering “sir” when addressing Bush). Never did I think I’d say this, but even by Olber-standards, the condescension here is simply exquisite . Bill Whittle clarifies JTP’s comments about keeping the media away from the front ...

As Betty Cracker says, I don’t generally have a whole lot of use for Rick Sanchez, who seems like he really missed his calling as understudy to The Weather Channel’s Jim Cantore, but watching him serve it up to “Joe” the “Plumber” in the clip above is already my No. 1 Media Moment of 2009.
