VIDEO: CNN'S SANCHEZ CALLS OBAMA 'COTTON PICKING PRESIDENT'

This one really is funny, especially after watching it more than once. CNN's Rick Sanchez asks correspondent Jessica Yellin about the whole, 'Is Obama a Muslim' controversy. As she winds down her response, Sanchez is apoplectic at the notion that Obama is unable to convince 20% of Americans that he's not a Muslim. He expresses his frustration by reaching into his quiver of verbal gems and refers to Obama as 'the cotton picking president'.

Someone needs to ask Ricky if he knows where that term comes from. Sanchez actually delivers another freudian slip immediately after the cotton reference. Again, frustrated with Obama's inability to get past this controversy, Sanchez says:

"If the President of the United States doesn't have enough of a bully pulpit to convince people of a lie....."

Unlike the "cotton picking" remark, Sanchez caught himself and re-phrased that one.

Rick wraps it up by saying:

"What kind of planet are we on? What the hell is going on here?"

If Yellin was inclined to take Rick's apoplexy to the next level, she should have asked him if he knows of any Muslims who pick cotton.
