Rick Sanchez Revealed (w/sources)
CNN’s Rick Sanchez is a racist, political bigot, and as it turns out was a drunk-driving, hit-and-run, leaving-the-scene-of-an-accident killer.
Yo Rick, HERE’S A SOURCE!
Minutes after midnight on the morning of December 10, 1990, an intoxicated Jeffrey Smuzinick darted out in front of a Volvo on a residential street near Joe Robbie Stadium. The driver of the car, WSVN-TV Channel 7 anchorman Rick Sanchez, became the subject of a subsequent January 16 New Times story that described the odd circumstances of the accident. Sanchez, whom a Metro-Dade police officer said “smelled strongly of alcohol,” first stopped his car but then later left the scene. A blood test to determine Sanchez’s sobriety was not administered until an hour and fifteen minutes after the collision. Though Sanchez says he tried to aid Smuzinick at the scene of the accident and flag down motorists, eyewitnesses claim the anchorman ignored the injured man and loudly told police and bystanders that blood tests were pointless, and would hurt his public image.
So inconvenient for the ol’ career, wasn’t it, Rick.
Best known for his stint as a sometimes-melodramatic correspondent on Channel 7’s “Crime Check,” Sanchez continues his work on the station’s evening and late newscasts while awaiting a September 13 court date on misdemeanor drunk-driving charges. His attorney, Richard Essen, now says the anchorman returned home and had “a couple of drinks to calm his nerves” before returning to the scene.

Rick, that was relatively easy to do. Go online, find a reputable source and report it. If you go to a site of dubious quality and make a mistake, admit it.
You know, be a man.
But to attempt to squirm out of a misreport is just Rick being Rick, trying to squirm out again.
At least he didn’t kill anyone this time.

Yes, but will you ever hear this from the MSM? Of course not! In a perfect world this man would have a little shame. He actually killed a person while shitfaced. Now, I’ve been shitfaced more times than I can count, but I never even came close to doing anything like this.
So what does CNN do? They hire him to b*tch about Republicans.
Mr. Sanchez, I do hope karma has a good sense of humor and someone runs your ass down some day and leaves the scene (and isn’t caught!)…
