AUDIO: INTERVIEW THAT GOT RICK SANCHEZ FIRED AT CNN

On September 30th, CNN's Rick Sanchez appeared on the Sirius Satellite radio program of Pete Dominick, who actually used to work for Comedy Central's Jon Stewart of the Daily Show. Sanchez was obviously sensitive to the treatment he has received from Stewart lately, so much so that he believes Stewart's attacks on him are racially motivated. His conclusion, based on that premise, was that Jon Stewart is a 'bigot.' Dominick stuck up for Stewart and actually got Sanchez to retract the 'bigot' comment; Sanchez changed his word choice to 'prejudicial.'

Dominick may have saved Sanchez at that point, had Sanchez dropped it. He didn't and what likely got him fired one day later was his scoffing at the notion that Jews are not minorities and that 'everybody who runs CNN is a lot like Stewart.'

The two parts of this clip happen around the 1:00 and 9:00 marks. HERE is more on Pete Dominick's site.
