VIDEO: CNN's Rick Sanchez Compares Joe The Plumber to Fidel Castro

Twitter-loving CNN journo Rick Sanchez lashed out at Samuel Wurzelbacher (a.k.a. Joe the Plumber) on his show yesterday, in response to the "everyman" Republican's suggestion that media should be banned from covering the war.

You see, Mr. Plumber is currently serving as a war correspondent in the Middle East and covering the Israel-Gaza conflict for some outfit known as Pajamas Media. The best line from his hard-hitting reports thus far is, "I have a lot of questions, just trying to find the right one...as far as...why are you guys collecting all this?" At least, it was before he said the following to an Associated Press camera crew:

"I don't think journalists should be anywhere around war. I mean, you guys report where our troops are at, you report what's happening day-to-day, you make a big deal out of it, I think it's asinine. I think media should be abolished from, you know, reporting. War is hell."

Luckily for Rick Sanchez, he has a TV show with which to call out foolish people for saying foolish things. And that he did. The silver-tongued talking head compared Joe's freedom of speech-banishing ways to those of his native Cuba's former leader, Fidel Castro, shot down his resume ("You're not really a licensed plumber, you're not really a war correspondent, and your name isn't even really Joe."), then digressed into a long and hilarious tirade about "that guy" who thinks he knows it all but knows nothing: "there's always one at every party."

Watch Rick Sanchez unleash his hateration in the video clip below, which concludes with him soliciting comments on his Twitter, MySpace and Facebook. Bc he luvs 2 xchange ideas on the interwebs.
