Jon Stewart Eviscerates Rick Sanchez Over Tsunami Coverage

On Saturday, we brought you the news of Rick Sanchez's stupid, sanctimonious and downright infuriating coverage on CNN of the Chilean earthquake and near-worldwide tsunami warning. Tonight, Jon Stewart brilliantly took Sanchez to task, and it was EPIC. Video inside.

In under four minutes, Stewart managed to:

• Mock Sanchez's confusion at the smallest, most obvious piece of common sense,
• point out that Sanchez identified the Galapagos Islands as Hawaii,
• again make note of Sanchez's infuriating confusion at anything and everything,
• hilariously comment on Sanchez's "Nine meters in English is...?" statement,
• show how much of an unnecessary dick Sanchez was to the on-set oceanographer,
• compare Sanchez to a coked up guy at a party who corners you and tries to explain—really intensely—that the ant is the strongest animal in existence (for its size),
• and work in footage of Sanchez being tasered.

Well done, Mr. Stewart. Well done.
