CNN anchor Rick Sanchez concluded Tuesday's Newsroom program with an admission of sorts about his misrepresentation on the previous day of John McCain's words about the GOP's outreach to Latinos: "I paraphrased to my colleague Roland Martin that McCain had said the party needs to recruit 'competent' Hispanics....He didn't use the word 'competent' when he said that."
