The Prime Minister of Italy:

A CNN news anchor:
Rick Sanchez: I don’t think it’s a conscious thing. I just think it’s important that people who are not minorities understand that those of us who are – and very few of us will say the things that I just said – are actually more complex than they think we are.
Pete Dominick: [Jon] Stewart’s a minority as much as you are. He’s Jewish.
Sanchez: Yeah. Yeah. Very powerless people. Please. What are you, kidding?
Dominick: You’re telling me that….
Sanchez: I’m telling you that everybody who runs CNN is a lot like Stewart, and a lot of people who run all the other networks are a lot like Stewart. And to imply that somehow they – the people in this country who are Jewish – are an oppressed minority? Yeah.
