The Other McCain

Regular readers are by now aware that (a) my friends got invited to speak at Smart Girl Summit while I did not, and (b) the blog went kablooey today. Things have been going from bad to worse ever since that deer killed my car, and the situation now seems so impossibly hopeless that all I can do is joke about it while each new humiliation is piled atop the Towering Heap o’ Shame.

Yet after calculating the distance to the George Washington Bridge, I decided to check Memeorandum and saw this headline:

Breaking: Rick Sanchez fired from CNN

Thanks for that news, Allah Who Never Links Me. Why was Sanchez fired? Ed Who Links Me Once in a While quotes what Sanchez told a radio talk-show host:

I’m telling you that everybody who runs CNN is a lot like [Jon] 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.

Here I am, at that nadir of discouragement where it feels as if the entire universe is conspiring to humiliate me, and never once did I attempt to single out a culprit.

My failure is, alas, entirely my own. Because I suck.

Meanwhile, here’s Mr. Hotshot TV Anchor taking potshots at a comedian and saying, Those Jews Are All In On It!

The beauty of the universe is sometimes so ironic — and the ironies often so beautiful — that some of us detect in it evidence of divine intervention.

God? Yeah, he’s Jewish, too.

And what a comedian!

(BTW, among the features rendered inoperable by the site malfunction: The tip jar, which could use some shekels.)

P.S: If any of our Zionist Media Overlords are looking to hire an award-winning journalist, feel free to drop me an e-mail. This business of being America’s Least-Respected Conservative Blogger™ is beginning to bum me out and, if it helps to establish my credentials as a ger toshav, I’ll point out that I was a finalist for the 2009 Malkin Award.

UPDATE: Pamela Geller reminds us that this isn’t the first such situation for CNN:

Who can forget Octavia Nasr, who was forced to resign after tweeting about weeping over the the death of grand jihadist Hezb’Allah Grand Ayatollah Mohammed Hussein Fadlallah?

Considering the context of Sanchez’s remark, it seems that what he was doing was playing that popular liberal game, “Who’s the Bigger Victim?”

Sanchez pointed out that Stewart had grown up in an affluent suburb by way of disparaging any notion that Jews have a plausible claim to victim status. Whereas Sanchez grew up in a rat-infested slum the suburbs of Miami. Hr was subsequently persecuted prosecuted for being Hispanic driving drunk when he paralyzed a man in a hit-and-run accident.

No doubt, Rick Sanchez is at least the second-biggest victim of his own stupidity.
