Geraldo Rivera says of Howard Dean "I'd smack him."
June 17, 2005


Geraldo, Fox News sign new contract


By Gail Shister
Knight Ridder Newspapers

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."

1. Yes, "ideas".
Ideas like attempting to physically intimidate critics and/or liberals.

What, what an idea-spawning network.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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

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".

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.

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.
