So he was high on crack at the moment. Big deal. As bad as that is, the TV “Faces” at FOX SPEWS are usually high off of all the polyurethane sprayed on their hair.

#3 TooManyPuppies,

Interesting observation, as I remember both Rick Sanchez and Shepard Smith worked in the same newsroom in Miami’s Channel 7 (FOX) back in the early-mid 90s.

Twitter says this is not related to the phishing problem:

What do you expect?

Anyone using a lame-o “service” like twitter is likely to be a little bit mush-brained and addle-pated to begin with. Come on. Who the fuck cares what Rick Sanchez (or anyone else, for that matter) is doing on a minute-by-minute basis?

Yes, if I had to name one empty headed newsreader demonstrating the equality of good looking male and female models success in the infotainment industry, he would lead my list.

In the phishers defense, Rick Sanchez admitted he was in fact on crack and that Anderson Cooper is HOT.

…is there anyway I can claim phishing scam for those drunken text messages I sent to my boss telling him his daughter is hot?

I wonder if he was scammed, have you listened to the guy? He’s CNN’s version of FNC’s Shepard Smith. Both of these guys are either on crack or a combo of some serious stuff.

After all these years, people still falling for phishing scams…

Stupidity thwarts all security measures.

Strange stuff is going on generally on Twitter. First the phishing scheme. Then a tweet from “BarackObama” promising a chance to win $500 worth of gas for taking a survey about what you thought about him. The latter disappeared almost immediately. But was obviously a fake if you brought it up on PowerTwitter (Firefox add-in).

Didn’t fall for either, thank goodness. Think it’s time for the kids to back to school.
