Democratic Party boss Howard Dean "calls Fox the mouthpiece of the Republican Party," Rivera says. "If he had the guts to say that to my face, I'd smack him. Our shop is a place where ideas flourish."

[SeveneightyWhoa]

1. Yes, "ideas".

Ideas like attempting to physically intimidate critics and/or liberals.

What, what an idea-spawning network.

[Melodybe]

3. And Dean would pick up a chair and finish the job that guy started 15 yrs

ago.

Seriously, not even the fundies that watch Fox pay attention to Geraldo, they should be so ashamed.

[Nay]

24. Just what I was about to say!!

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

2. He's in his 60's with an expectant 30 year old wife??????

Role model for everyone.

NOT!!!!!

[sasquatch]

4. Howard Dean would mop the floor with his ass

Geraldo Rivera is a punk and he always has been.

[Crazy Guggenheim]

5. I'd love to see the SOB try it! [Slimey old Bastard]

[Wetzelbill]

6. Yeah, if Geraldo had the stones to say that to me, I'd .....

knock his ass out.

Personally, I think Dean could take him. Dr. Governor looks pretty solid, and I've seen him twice in person.

[koopie57]

12. He could take him

in a battle of wits AND a battle of fists, but even as fiesty as Dean is, I don't think he would bother with the fists.

[Telly Savalas]

49. Battle of wits?

I guess if you call swatting a fly a battle...

[Crazy Guggenheim]

7. I wouldn't take the time to spit on Rivera.

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

26. No...No...Life is too short

You need to stop and smell the roses. And while you're just standing there anyway, be sure to spit on Geraldo Rivera.

You'll be glad you did.

[Seabiscuit]

8. That paragon of virtue, Rivera, is trying to get his nose broken again.

[bluestateguy]

9. Didn't he get his ass kicked by skinheads about 15 years ago?

And didn't he get walloped by a Klansman soon after that?

I'm still waiting on the edge of my seat for wait he found in Al Capone's secret lair.

[LostInAnomie]

10. LostInAnomie says of Geraldo Rivera...

... "I'd have him arrested for revealing troop positions during a war."

That tabloid journalist piece of shit can kiss my fucking ass!

[roguevalley]

11. what a sorry, tiny little man. He must have Dr. Dean confused with

one of his many wives. Sorry pussy. *I* could wipe up the floor with him.

[stanwyck]

13. but, but, but, O'Reilly

said during his wacko rant against Al Franken that Faux was "pro-America". More freeper speech, like their other code words, for Republican. Because, of course, if you report the news without spin -- or even just report the news, you're NOT pro-America. Like reporting the DSM. Or global warming. Or unemployment. Or Bush's failure to find Bin Laden. or find the Plame informant. Or the anthrax killer. Remember Dubya swaggering out his resolve on those issues? Apparently, he's forgotten. And so has the "Pro-America" Faux News.
Geraldo has repeatedly embarrassed himself the past few years. But, you know, he seems a perfect fit for Faux. Another coaster who's lazy and so crazed for cash he quit doing real work twenty years ago.

[trebizond]

14. i'm sure dean's quaking in his boots

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

[Algorem]

15. That "Murdoch Brown" mustache dye has totally fried Whoreoddball.

[pinniped]

16. Dodging bullets in the war zone made busted nose man brave.

Someone get that man a chair.

[BlondieK143]

17. You lost me at Geraldo Rivera.

Everything after that just seems pretty ridiculous and unimportant when it involves him.

[iconoclastic cat]

20. Bring me the head of Geraldo Rivera!

[Love Bug]

18. Shut the fuck up Jerry Rivers!

Pathetic tool.

[iconoclastic cat]

19. We've seen you fight, Geraldo. You'd cry like a 2 year old.

[Left Is Write]

21. Big talk, Geraldo.

:eyes:

[hyphenate]

22. Ah yes!

The man who made tabloid journalism popular. One of the most self-centered, narcissistic men on the planet. Rivera should be hit in the face again with another chair. Perhaps the first time it happened, it fucked his brain up on only one side. Now it's both sides that need correcting!

[jmm]

23. Ideas don't flourish when idiots threaten to smack people

I can't give this guy much credibility

[ghostsofgiants]

25. And just how many people would smack Geraldo given the chance?

[peekaloo]

27. Look out Dr. Dean, Geraldo has "stink palm".

"Our shop".....made me larf!

[Deja Q]

28. And when Geraldo smacks him, Dean will suckerpunch him back.

Both are (politicians), but the repuke filth like geraldo certainly prefer to look for when not outright CREATE a fistfight.

[mitchum]

29. I once saw Charles Manson threaten to "beat the dogshit" out of...

Rivera. I wondered just how many viewers were, just this once, pulling for Charlie.

[Lindsey]

31. I have never seen a bigger example of a media whore in my life..

it's simply disgusting beyond words - literally selling one's soul....God help us all :-(

[Joey Liberal]

30. Geraldo is a TRAITOR

Fuck him and his new Faux News contract!

[Zomby Woof]

32. Put 'em on PPV

They deserve each other.

[Maestro]

33. Hey Rivera,

You ignorant fool,

And one more thing...

So move on...follow the money and leave your journalistic ethics at the door.

[sundog]

34. someone needs to rip off that asshole's mustache

he always irritated me

[Jade Fox]

35. Geraldo, have you forgotten that you're a joke?

Without you the work of stand-up comedians would be much harder!

[Joe Power]

36. I'd love to say it to his face

And then kick his sensationalistic, opportunistic ass if he were dumb enough to slap me.

[dajoki]

37. geraldo, go crawl back in capone's vault

and shut the door!:kick:

[lateo]

38. I'd smack you Jerry Rivers.

And give you the beat down of your life.

[tibbir]

39. He was a media whore

before being a media whore was 'cool.'

[JohnKleeb]

40. ideas flourish

Thats Geraldo speak for "where we spout out the rhetoric of the republican party"

[Ikonoklast]

41. HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

When did old Geraldo get into comedy? Is it going to be a variety show, or a sit-com? I bet the pilot will be when his beefy neighbor Dr. Dean comes over and kicks the living shit out of his sorry ass. God, now that's funny!

[Crazy Guggenheim]

42. Lol.

[Redstone]

43. Horrendo Revolta, would you just please shut up?

You REALLY don't understand how OVER you are, do you?

Redstone

46. Geraldo Rivera: From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Geraldo Rivera
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Geraldo Rivera (born July 4, 1943) is a television journalist with an affinity for dramatic high-profile stories and a style that has often been described as sensationalistic.

He was born Gerald Miguel Rivera in New York City, and as a young man often went by the less ethnic-sounding "Jerry Rivers." He graduated from Brooklyn Law School in 1969, and was lawyer for the New York Puerto Rican group the Young Lords. He was interviewed when the group occupied an East Harlem church in 1970, attracting the attention of a news producer. Rivera was hired by New York City station WABC-TV to be a reporter for Eyewitness News. In 1972 he garnered national attention with his story of the abuse of mentally retarded patients at Staten Island's Willowbrook State School, and began to appear on ABC national programs such as Good Morning America and 20/20.

In 1985 ABC's Roone Arledge refused to air a report done by Rivera on the relationship between Marilyn Monroe and John F. Kennedy: Rivera publicly criticized Arledge's journalistic integrity (claiming that his friendship with the Kennedy family had caused him to spike the story) and was fired.

In 1986 he hosted an hourlong special on the opening of what he called "Al Capone's secret vault", which garnered the highest rating of any syndicated special in television history. However, it is more noted for its disappointing denouement: the "vault" turned out to be a cellar containing little of interest.

In 1987 he began hosting a talk show, Geraldo, which was oriented toward controversial guests and theatricality (one of the early shows was titled "Men in Lace Panties and the Women Who Love Them"). His nose was broken in a well-publicized brawl that occurred on his 1988 show featuring Nazi skinheads and black activists, which sparked Newsweek's characterization of his show as "Trash TV".

47. Dean could easily call Rivera's bluff

go to Rivera's office with a camera crew. No way in hell Rivera is going to risk prison time for assault when Dean repeats his obviously true statement to Geraldo's face.

[SlavesandBulldozers]

48. Now Geraldo you IGNORE

Hopefully doc just pounds away on important people, rather than getting dragged down to Geraldo's level. To respond would be dumb, because Geraldo is stupid and so small as to be insignificant.

[Robeson]

50. I've got your back on this one, Dean. Lets go mop the floor with...

...Geraldo's moustache...

[tk2kewl]

51. i think Dean needs to make an appointment

whore-raldo would shit his pants in fear

[nickgutierrez]

52. Just when I thought I've heard it all...

Along comes fuckin' Geraldo, trying to be a badass. Geraldo, the laughingstock of cable.

That's the most unintentionally funny thing I've read in a long, long time.

[Neshanic]

53. Low budget moron for WABC 7 NY, when I was in HS.

Saw him on the street with slattern individual, us being good NJ types we ragged him.

Willowbrook was his breakout.

[Ikonoklast]

54. That was pretty harsh

he was out for a walk with his mom.

[I Have A Dream]

55. Jerry's got his underpants all knotted up in a ball.

He wants to believe that he's a real journalist working for a real news network. Jerry: Stop deluding yourself! Both you and Faux make me want to throw up.
