Oh please let Chez Pazienza be the next Dan Cooper.

Pazienza, despite having a sexy last name, got axed from his producer gig on CNN's American Morning after brass discovered his personal blog, about the cable news industry and his employer, that was being published without going through the proper "vetting" channels. So where else would a down on his luck member of the media turn to? Arianna Huffington's website, of course.

In a nearly 3,000-word diatribe, Pazienza explains the blog, Deus Ex Malcontent, came about "mostly to pass the time" after the discovery of a brain tumor. Even after it started getting attention from the blogga-sphere, he didn't tell his superiors; what rulebook said he had to? (He later found said rulebook.)

Chez Pazienza is the latest aufing under Jon Klein's regime at CNN. Usually you're used to seeing women over the age of 30 being let go at that network, but this time we've got a man who's not even on-air talent!

Pazienza, a producer at American Morning, was dismissed without severance for blogging on his personal site. The network has a policy that requires staffers to get clearance for anything they post online; Pazienza didn't get that clearance.

So just what questionable material was he posting that caught the unwavering eye of CNN brass? For saying things that we all know to be true, like: "Pat O'Brien is the single most ridiculous human being currently sucking down oxygen."
