**Update: Rick Sanchez Fired** — Mother of Mercy: Is This the End of Ricardo Leon Sanchez de Reinaldo?

**Update**: CNN fires Sanchez. From the Hollywood Reporter:

CNN issued a statement Thursday announcing that anchor Rick Sanchez is no longer with the network after giving a radio interview in which he insinuated Jon Stewart was a bigot and CNN was “run by Jews.”

“Rick Sanchez is no longer with the company,” the statement read. “We thank Rick for his years of service and we wish him well.”

Rick Sanchez, the dumbest man on television, has often been unable to control either his brain or his mouth, but when the two of them operate in tandem, oh brother. This time, it’s Jon Stewart who’s set him off. From Mediaite:

I’m telling you that everybody who runs CNN is a lot like Stewart, and a lot of people who run all the other networks are a lot like Stewart. And to imply that somehow they — the people in this country who are Jewish — are an oppressed minority? Yeah.

Always fun when lefties start to turn on each other, playing — naturally! — the race or ethnicity or victim card.

Hear for yourself:
