Hotair had us rolling in the aisles with laughter with this sensational headline:

Comedy gold: Rick Sanchez has an aneurysm over the McCain “bitch” video.

Something like that deserves, heck demands, a closer look.

Here’s the CNN transcript:

RICK SANCHEZ, CNN ANCHOR: You know, this could be real bad for John McCain. I want you to watch this that we’re about to show you. You will probably see its first pass here, and then I have a feeling you will be seeing it a lot.
Producer comes in early in the morning today to my office and shows me this video. You are going to hear a McCain supporter. She refers to Hillary Clinton using really what is a horrible word that is used to do nothing but demean women.
Well, at the time, it was a supporter who said that. It wasn’t until later on, when we watched the whole tape, which is what you are about to see, that you see McCain’s reaction, or lack thereof, that we decided that this is both relevant and newsworthy, and important information to this campaign.
All right. Let me set it up for you. He’s campaigning in South Carolina yesterday when suddenly this happened. Obviously, the word that is used here is very offensive. We will let you listen to the entire thing so you can decide for yourself. Here it is.

Oh sure. Mr. Here It is.  189 words later, Mr. Here It Is.

Next time, spare your viewers the headache and just say Here It Is.  Forget the preceding dramatic 186 words intro.

On the Brian Williams Over-The-Top-And-Way-Too-Wordy-An-Explanation Scale, Rick Sanchez earns a six.
