Did you know Rick Sanchez is currently saving the people of Egypt from dictatorship, with the journalism and the social media? He is! If you are aware of any Egyptians who are in trouble, let Rick know, ok? He will send it out to his wider audience: his kids and his dog. And he has established his very own Internet newspaper for this.
We kid, we kid. Rick’s wider audience consists of thousands of old people who watched him on the teevee and set up a Twitter account to feel like a part of the teevee show but quickly abandoned. AND his kids and dog. And us. A very wide audience. One that has significant leverage in Middle Eastern affairs, obviousky.
Anyway, here you go Egypt! Print this Twitter out and scotch-tape it up to all of the pyramids so people know, okay? If you have Internet, which you don’t, Rick says. Hmm. Maybe he didn’t think this through all the way.
It’s out!!!!! First edition!!!!!!
Look, it’s good that he’s found something to do with his day, but somebody, anybody, needs to give this man a job. He may not be capable of being a journalist, but he can probably be a local news anchor right? He was probably good at that. The perfect level of intellect and puppy-like curiosity of the world around him. [Twitter]

Who the fuck is Rick Sanchez?
originally a TV personality on channel 7 in Miami. went to CNN after that, but was fired last fall. A complete media drama queen. dense as a rock sometimes.
You're Rick's mom aren't you?
Oh I knew all that. My comment was meant as sarcasm. I mean, he's not on TV anymore so he can't be important, right?
I think Opus is looking for him…oh! He's found him!
Rick Sanchez wouldn't want to get in my pants, I'm Jewish. Unless he's got shtetl fever…
I thought he had stop-overs at Telemundo & MSNBC before CNN, too.
I thought it was a pornstart (i.e. first name and the street you grew up on).
He should go to Egypt and get tasered or teargassed… for old time's sake.
Haha…who did a montage of that tasering? The Daily Show did I think…anyway, whoever can dig up that link because I'm too lazy first get's both a hooray and a huzzah as sweetener.
BOOM.
Can I get that huzzah in the form of tongue-punches?
Right in the fart-box, Dewey.
Egypt will be so much better off now that they have the Sanchez bump.
Now, how big is a "Mubarak" in English? Frankly, I'm surprised to hear that Egypt is having a revolution at all, since George Washington was never mummified, but I guess it just shows there's always something that can surprise you. Now, if you look on the map here, we see that Egypt is part of the Middle East, which, considering how close that is to the Midwest, should be of concern to folks in Iowa.
$10 says Glenn Beck uses the name Mubarak as a means to implicate Obama in some Muslin Brotherhood plot against 'Merika and democracy (even though he's an evil dictator, ahh most teabaggers don't know that anyway, they probably think the asshole is being overthrown as a Democratic government to create an Islamic dictatorship) any takers?
Beck, it's hard/impossible.
I think Mubarak's political party is actually called the National Democratic Party. But at least some on the right are in fact convinced that Obama wants him overthrown so a radical Islamist regime can be put in charge. So the cognitive dissonance might make Glenn's head explode. We can dream.
Ahem. That we know of.
I'll wait for Julian Assange to release the cables, they're way more reliable than Egyptian internet right now.
DirtyRickSanchez TV would get more hits.
Well…. his last name is Sanchez, can't we just deport him?
/racist
Rick Sanchez should not be in vanity-publishing. It's as simple as that.
Dan Rather had that hurricane in Texas that made him a star; Anderson Cooper had Katrina. David Gregory, who hates bad weather, had the easiest star-making turn. All he had to do was kick George Bush's ass in front of the teevee camera every time he got the chance. He got a teevee show all to himself behind that one and really–how tough was it to make that moran look stupid?
Following in this tradition, Rick Sanchez' noble Twattering about Egypt will have every major news outlet begging to hire him. And he doesn't even have to leave his sofa.
Kick George Bush's ass? On my TV it looked more like LICKING George Bush's ass, while frowning to make it appear as if he were being thoughtful about it. I'll never forgive him for dancing with Karl Rove AND being married to someone who took millions away for a couple of years lawyering for Fanny and Freddie.
I've stepped in puddles deeper than Rick Sanchez.
I thnk Twiter is fckin rtarded.
I couldn't agree more!!!

At this moment, Rachel is doing an excellent piece on our relationship with Egypt, back to Carter. Scratch that. She started with the Suez Canal.
I don't want to offend any of you guys, knowing how much respect the wonkeratti has for him, but I kinda' think she knows more about the country than Rick does. And she loves wonkette. [applause]
Maddow just pointed out that Sulelman (the octogramps) was the "C.I.A.'s point man for renditions." How nefariously wise it was for Mubarak to appoint someone who knows the dirt on the US to the position of VP.
The "C.I.A.'s point man for renditions" and he wasn't even smart enough to get paid millions for it? A whole FAMILY of dumbasses …
Ah damnit…home from work too late to catch the first showing of Dr. Maddow and get my knowledge injection of the day. I guess I'll just get my Rachel fix at 9 pm PTSD. Your sarcasm is dully noted…although to defend Rick Sanchez but as a dumb asshole he sure managed to find his way upward. That is until he was a dumb, anti-Semitic asshole which only Glenn Beck is allowed to be on television, apparently. Still….was Rick's rise through the media proof of the Peter Principle ala Bush and Cheney?
RICK! My good friend Susanna Hoffs is stuck in Egypt! She needs yr hlp! She said that she knows where the secret police are meeting: "If you want to find all the cops
They're hanging out in the donut shop."
And they're saying "Hey oh, way oh!"
If you are aware of any Egyptians who are in trouble, let Rick know, ok?
So, how exactly does this work? I let him know that Ali Hassan Nasser at 1212 Pyramid Blvd. Cairo, Egypt just got his camel dealership ransacked by looters and…what, exactly, happens? I'm not clear on the concept here.
I wonder if Sanchez was thinking "If your friend in Egypt emails you or calls you on his cell phone…no, if he tweets you or messages on Facebook… no that won't work either, OK if YOU'RE in Egypt then call me, no, text me, no, Facebook,…use smoke signals."
But what does Remy think about Egypt?
in a related note, please send pics of your tits to me, and I will get them out to a wider audience. don't worry, all submissions are confidential and no one else will see them. unless they do.
And you wonder why people keep down-fisting you.
hey, at least I'm not Rick Sanchez!
Nobody listened to Rick Sanchez when he had a job – why start now?
He's still doing the same job, just not on TV. Most of the time it's just Rick and the goldfish.
Kind of like a schizophrenic street preacher on a corner with a sandwich board sign?
I thought Roland Hedley was already covering the twatting news.
Rick is only siding with Egypt because he does not realize (**spoiler alert**) that the Jews escaped from Pharaoh.
Why can't Mubarek just turn loose his vast army of mummies to quell this uprising?
Because Brendan Fraser isn't popular anymore? Budump-bump-bump
Because the mummies want their old job back…
That made my head hurt. Can we add Twitter to Ken's list of pointless things that are aiding Americans in becoming fat and stupid?
Hear that? It's the sound of entire nation sighing a sigh of relief.
Rick's first interview will be Sarah Palin explaining in detail the numerous ways the Egyptian people have let her down, personally.
#BagOfDicks
By "wider audience" he must mean those people on scooters at the Walmart. I was unaware that RS had an "audience." Rick's next take: How the Castro brothers have fomented revolution in Egypt.
Rick's audience is rapidly approaching the size of CNN's. Or maybe it's the other way around.
This IS really sad – if it wasn't for Twitter, Rick would set up his camcorder and record "stories" which he would force his kids to watch. Can't someone give this poor man a job? Pat Robertson – I'm looking at you. Rick would be great on CBN.
Go Ricky Go. Tweet Ricky Tweet.
We shouldn't laugh at this man's hard-hitting tweets.
Sanchez just shows us what it would have been like if Edward R. Murrow had a twitter.
"Ths… is Lndn. The noyz u hear at the momnt is the sound of air raid sirens. I'm stndng at the stps of St Mrtin's-in-the-Field. A surchlt just…"
140 characters, what the fuck you mean, 140 characters?!?! Gimme a cigarette!
Never gets old.

Lolz Rick's a blogger, he finally found a job he's qualified for.
Sorry Ken.
Okay…so this is kind of off topic but listening to the media today it's become apparent the issue isn't so much Mubarak but instead corporations; as in BP, Exxon et al. Since the people of Egypt seem well on their way to dethroning this asshole (and his Enabling Laws, 30 years worth) the discussion seems to be how does this affect the US? Which translates to of course our 1.5 billion dollar a year bribe so we can use their natural resources and pay Egyptians 3k a year while doing it.
I'm obviously a libtard because I'd rather cheer on the Egyptians and give them support than discuss what happens to the blood sucking oil companies. I will guarantee this much though, if the Egyptians manage to dethrone him and put in someone who won't play ball we'll find some pretext to put Mubarak or some bribe-taking general or secret police douche in as a puppet. What's the over-under on the "Shining City on the Hill" removing yet another democracy (assuming we allow it) because a dictator will do what we say?
This is serious business, what with how successfully pretentious Twit(erer)s overthrew the Iranian government and all.
Rick Sanchez…Rick Sanchez…Doesn't he look like Ben Ali?
In hinduism, priests perform small rituals of balancing which allow the wheels of the universe to keep running, like dropping water onto lotus petals. Rick's tweets are the western equivalent of this. Aum Nring Nring Nring etc.
Well I'm sorry, but I will not watch this guy. NRG's make me uncomfortable.
See, Mexicans are taking all our twitter jobs
needs moar Charlton Heston/Yul Brynner photoshop.
Come on, y'all. Help an hermano out; why are you kicking and hombre when he's down?
I can do this all day. And by "this" I mean toss out my limited understanding of Spanish slang, chicos y chicas.
Yeah, specially after years of abuse by his Jewish overlords in the media, but is Rick whining about it? OK, well, maybe a little…
And still our valiant amego is willing to burden himself with the woes of others.
I bet CNN is really, really sorry now, huh Rick?
Tu mama primera, y tu mama despues.
Sure Rick…while people are being pelted by police for protesting against the gov't they'll want to tweet about it and have you retweet.
If I start tweeting about it, can I take credit for the booming Chinese economy?
It's so sad, watching Rick now. He's like the old dog that doesn't get taken for walks anymore since his owner died. He just runs and barks along the fence line, trying to stay in the game, but only plodding agonizingly slowly to his own demise. Will someone please pull and old Yeller with him?
Does he understand that the Egyptians are Joos?
Rick Sanchez, who engineered 9/11 to sell hatred of Islam for 10 years?
Rick Fucking Who?
