[Hillary's Lovely Legs]

I found this article from last year. I now take back all the nice things I said about Geraldo. A man with children who has a shack-up honey gets no respect from me.

---

Geraldo Rivera's love life made it into the New York Post on Thursday, prompted by news he had arranged a Manhattan home for a woman less than half his age.

Here?s an excerpt from the February 22 "Page Six" item by Richard Johnson, Paula Froelich and Chris Wilson, plugged by Jim Romenesko's MediaNews:

Geraldo Rivera has set up a luxury love nest for his new galpal, 25-year-old CNBC producer Erica Levy.

Rivera, 57, is lavishing Levy with an apartment at one of Donald Trump's luxury buildings in the East 60s, and has showered her with thousands of dollars worth of pricey jewelry and couture clothing, sources tell PAGE SIX.

The comely Cleveland native is currently sharing an apartment with two female pals in Murray Hill. She is supposed to move into her new uptown abode on April 9. We're told the pad is in Levy's name, but it's not clear if Geraldo is buying or renting it for her.

Levy's parents are said to be less than thrilled that their pretty brunette daughter has taken up with Rivera.

"Geraldo's older than Erica's father," sniffs a pal of Levy's. "Her parents aren't very happy that she's been seeing him. They know about his reputation with women."...

Levy also managed to nab a plum assignment as a producer on Rivera's "Geraldo Voyager" specials for the Travel Channel, which airs four new sailing specials this fall....

It isn't clear whether Rivera will move in with Levy. Sources say that contrary to published reports, Levy never "moved in" with him in Malibu. "She still lives in New York," says a pal. "She stayed there when she was out there with him. That was it."

Geraldo, who hosts "Rivera Live" on CNBC, has a history with twentysomething gals named "Erica" who work for him.

His dalliance with another eye-catching employee, Erica Pressman, 27, was blamed for the break-up a while ago with his long-suffering wife, C.C. Dyer.

Dyer booted Rivera out of their New Jersey home after she found photographs of him on his 70-foot sailboat with the busty blonde Pressman, who worked as a publicist for the defunct syndicated talk show "Geraldo."...

I hope Jerry Rivers' new bride isn't hoping for a longterm commitment.

[Fintan]

Okay, you're infatuated with Gerald. See if I care...

[BigWaveBetty]

From the algore story: He said the administration should "completely scrap its economic plan and its team on Monday ... start over from scratch and start rebuilding this economy."

No doubt, this idiot will ask for ice tea in hell.

[chnsmok]

This has been driving me crazy! Does anyone know who had the insight to ground the planes on 911? Please investigate!

[chnsmok]

He'll get it...the devil has got to be a democrat!

[Hillary's Lovely Legs]

I hope she puts in the pre-nup that she gets the boat.

25-year-old CNBC producer Erica Levy.

Trying to remember, was I this stupid at 25? Hmmmmm, uh... nope! :-)

[mountaineer]

Maybe you should grow a sexy mustache like Gerrraldo.

On second thought, naaah. Your cigar might set it afire.

[BigWaveBetty]

Does anyone know who had the insight to ground the planes on 911? Please investigate!

I thought it was President Bush.

Oh sure the devil is a dem. Just remember, dems enjoy making people suffer. ;-)

[TheGrimReaper]

Algore... no ordinary idiot he...
Perhaps an....

[chnsmok]

I mean, like behind the scenes. I am sure that everyone was going every which way and GW doesn't micro-manage. I would like to think it was him, but was it his idea or did someone put the bug in his ear?

[Hillary's Lovely Legs]

It probably wasn't just one person who grounded the planes. I would imagine that it was a military decision. It doesn't matter who it was, but the fact that they were grounded saved many more lives.

[mountaineer]

I thought the order came from the Dept. of Transportation, but I imagine we could find out for sure.

[chnsmok]

I thought it was probably military, but it still is making me nuts not knowing the who (not the department). It did save so many lives, I believe.

[BigWaveBetty]

Haven't found anything yet to say for sure but did find this:

Attention: Northwestern Travel Management Customers

Due to the terrorist act at the New York World Trade Center, and apparent follow-up acts of terrorism in Washington DC, the FAA has shut down all airline take-offs as of 9:00AM today. NTM will notify you of any changes, and what your travelers should do. At a minimum, advise any travelers with plans for leaving today to stay home.

Still looking...

[mountaineer]

The Federal Aviation Adminstration grounded all flights nationwide and ordered airports to only keep their runways open for arriving planes.

From Newsday.

[BigWaveBetty]

I can't believe, I was wrong. ;-) Although I agree with HLL probably many people screamed ground air traffic.

[chnsmok]

I think I am satisfied with FAA, but wouldn't it make a great movie if some assistant to the assistant of a Deputy assistant...you get my drift...

[Aggie Mama]

Well, we're just about ready to go for our vacation to Gulf Shores for the week. I think I'm already going into withdrawl from FR. I don't know how I'm going to make it a whole week without checking in. =(

HLL, I swear I didn't forget to send you your drawings. I just couldn't find a 9 x 12 envelope in the house. I didn't want to bend the drawings. Some of them are so cute. The main theme seems to be tanks and guns.

I swear (Aggie Word) that I will send you those when I get back.
