Rick Sanchez: “. . . you think of Hawaii and long words like that”<\/em><\/p>\n

Vanity Fair<\/em> has put together an idiots’ parade compilation of CNN’s top ten gaffes<\/a>.\u00a0 From the idiocy of Wolf Blitzer (for whom ten mangled words are always preferable to a single well-chosen one) to the idiocy of Rick Sanchez (“Iceland’s too cold for volcanoes”) to the idiocy of Erick “Son of Erick” Erickson (“David Souter is a goat-fucking child molester”), and all the way back round again to the primogenitural idiocy of Wolf Blitzer, l’idiota di tutti idioti<\/span><\/span><\/em>.\u00a0 Just one question: Why stop at ten?\u00a0 A top one hundred would not be much more time consuming to compile.<\/p>\n

Fox News may be evil incarnate.\u00a0 But CNN is clownish stupidity, from one end of the 24 hour news cycle to the other, day in, day out, and without fail.\u00a0 It’s all Ted Baxter<\/a> now.\u00a0 As with Paddy Chayefsky<\/a>‘s Network<\/em>, what was once satire<\/a> is now just the new normal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
