let s huddle up around the water cooler. time is counting down. i don t know what the hour is exactly. t.j., do we have the clock? it is 1:62. that looks like a lot of time to get the book. it s not. it s one week from today. go ahead and preorder sales. do yourself a favor. we re going to go to the cooler where jon stewart has his first crack at rick sanchez. sanchez was let go last week after comments he made in a radio interview. in that same interview, he called jon stewart a bigot for always mocking sanchez. well, jon stewart got his first chance to respond to sanchez on tv. what up with you? what up? social media makes our world circular. anyone in the world can write anything they want. everybody is engaged with conversation. it s the boss s chair and you re sitting in it.
time! it s time, indeed. as you read the industry trades, as most of our viewers do, you heard rick sanchez late last week essentially tasered himself, took himself out of the game. a cheap excuse to show that. rick sanchez in an interview last week, made some comments he suggested perhaps jews control the media. he was released by cnn. in that same interview, he went after jon stewart, calling jon stewart a bigot. last night was the first time he had a chance to respond. he made a comparison between rick sanchez and the office, michael scott. what up with you? wikipedia is the best thing ever. social media makes our world circular. anyone in the world can write anything they want. everyone is engaged in conversation. it s the boss chair and you are sitting in it!
actually denying the jews are minorities, calling jon stewart a bigot and softening it saying he was prejudiced. over the weekend, one, he was fired. two, the backlash has started and they were taping an event for comedy central and jon stewart kind of couldn t resist the temptation and took another hit back at rick sanchez saying basically if you went on radio and said the jews control the media, you may want to hold onto your money and also said if sanchez was right about the jews suggested, quote, all he has to do is apologize to us and we ll hire him back. david letterman said he was at the event to help rick clean out his office. the backlash started so in addition to losing his job celebrities are firing back. we have a messy, messy situation for him. i have to say also sanchez, when you hear an excerpt, you think maybe that was misportrayed or not an accurate portrayal. the entire radio interview plays like that.
private property, are you suggesting you would give approval to a mosque with a connection to jihad or without any assurances bodies are buried deep enough so they don t stink? the stink, mr. brandon, comes not from the graves but your clients. but it is refreshing to see a bunch of islamophones go into court and proudly admit their bigotry. my back-up host from cnn. not anymore after this interview on sirius xm in which he called jon stewart, quote, bigot. people who are not minorities understand that those of us who are and very few of us will say the things that i have just said are actually more complex than they think we are. stewart is a minority as much as you are. come on. very powerless people. whoa! you re such a minority. please. what, are you kidding? he s you re telling me that i m telling you that everybody who runs cnn is a lot like stewart.
their enemy and this is a widespread effort to smear the president on a number of different fronts. so is there a shift there? yes. i think they have dropped this idea that they re going to change the face of washington, unite red and blue america. but in the first instance, they ve got to get a better result going into the midterms because otherwise it s going to get really ugly. rifl ard wolffe. another job open. probably not a good job to call jon stewart a bigot and television is run by jewish people like him and they re not minorities. when the parts for the line come precisely on time that s logistics a continuous link, that is always in sync that s logistics there will be no more stress cause you ve called ups, that s logistics
