up our people and getting them out of the hell-hole. Geraldo is so excited - as only he can do - and it just gives you chills to see the wonderful work and the enthusiasm.

He sure was making me barf last night. Especially when speaking with Eddie Compass. Talk about a drama queen.

Whoraldo is sickening...

I would rather watch them pull out the bodies! At least then, there would be some reason. He is just hype, and self-promotion He's another Bubba wannabe, emoting his way through our life!!

Did he mention Natalee yet? I saw that blowhard O'Reilly went back to her last night so I figure Whorealdo can't be far behind.

Yes, he is. But at least when he acts like that, you know he is being who he is - it is not an act. One thing about him, what you see is what you get. Sometimes it makes you want to barf, but other times, like this, his happiness can really lift you up.

Is Compass that police chief or whatever who was ranting about the rapes, murders, and claiming there were still 30,000 in the center? Funny, this morning it was reported there were 2,000. He and Jerry make a good pair, huh.

Geraldo would be more effective if they would delete about half of the adjectives from his reports - his comments are overly optimistic or overly pessimistic. A calmer demeanor would be appreciated. Following his recent comments, it was good for the ears to hear Neil Cavuto's carefully crafted comments on the same action at the NO convention center.

In typical Geraldo style, he was talking about this being the greatest rescue operation "since the Berlin Airlift under Kennedy". Of course, Berlin Airlift is the term applied to the 1948-49, airlift which occurred when the Soviets cut off the city.

I kept expecting Geraldo to say "If I, Geraldo, can get here in my heavily-guarded, air-conditioned limo then why can't hundreds of buses who are being shot at?"

Gee, Geraldo, I dunno. Why don'cha leave all that TV gear and technicians there, and drive all those babies back to your penthouse yourself?

Revolto is a buffoon! He needs to be on Broadway, not in the front of a news camera. He and that pompous idiot Julian Phillips on FoxandFriends Weekend need to start a traveling road show.......both are so dramatic and silly.....well, needless to say, when they're on, I just turn the channel.

He is the police chief, yes. I think this was the first time he had shown his mug. As has been noted here on FR, he has been totally AWOL during this crisis.

Before the hurricane, his answer to the crime problem, was for the police to where their garrison caps, and to smile and be friendly.

Geraldo is doing his thing and he's striking a very positive note. I appreciate his effort. Especially after watching all the doom and gloom being broadcast by pmsnbc and cnn this morning. Fox seems to be giving a more positive and uplifting message. Watching cnn's Miles O'Brien, Solidad O'Brien and the two losers on pmsnbc is depressing.

Hey, Geraldo, why haven't we seen the murderers and rapists from the Superdome and Convention Center frogmarched out under military guard? Surely they are not being allowed on the buses and helicopters to be unleashed on other unsuspecting cities, are they? Inquiring minds want to know...quickly!

Berlin Airlift under Kennedy? LOL! Actually it was during Kennedy's presidency that the Russians sealed off East Berlin and put up The Wall. Kennedy responded by going to Berlin and proclaiming 'I am a doughnut!'

"Sometimes it makes you want to barf..."

No, he ALWAYS makes me want to puke, not sometimes. I lunge for the clicker hoping to make him vanish before any words come rolling out of his mouth. I am beginning to despise Fox because of him and others. My viewing is very limited and I was once a Fox fan.
