He was born Gerald Rivera in NYC but added the "o" to his first name to help create the image of the macho-Hispanic male and benefit from affirmative action. How many times have you heard him tell you that his mother was Jewish? The truth is Rivera is a mountebank and a fraud who is a master of tabloid TV and trash reporting. He's been married five times, has had innumerable affairs and produced four bastards (at last count). He was deported from Iraq for drawing a map in the sand which treasonously exposed U.S. military troop positions. It's to the never-ending disgrace of Fox that they employed him. Even the MSM had the self-respect and integrity to fire him, as ABC did. One of his favorite stunts is to physically provoke fights with guests - he's still proud of the broken nose he got from one such episode. Too bad Fox can't distinguish between "fair and balanced" and tabloid trash TV. And he doesn't even get them Nielson viewer ratings!
I’ve never understood why Gerry Rivers is employed by Fox. Are they planning to re-open Al Capone’s vault?
I’m hoping O’Reilly or maybe Beck will hit him with a chair and break his nose again....LOL
I hope Geraldo and O’Reilly would do battle among themselves so that they can both finish each other off.
So shall we assume that Geraldo is not on your Christmas card list?
He was married to Kurt Vonnegut’s daughter, Edith. It ended badly.
Nicely done.
I kinda liked him, except for when he was shilling for Bubba on the Monica Lewinky debacle. I think that is why most freepers can’t stand him. But, he was no where near the dreck level reached by Paul “Puke” Begala or Jame “Gollum” Carville. I still get sick when I see one of them on TV.
parsy, who thinks if there was any justice in the world, Paul “Puke” Begala would have been the guy who died in the elephant doo-doo accident instead of that poor zookeeper
How many times did it end badly?
parsy, who likes trout
I am not sure.
maybe Sean Hannity (he wrote a book) could get into a little dust-up with Gerry?
I continue to send Roger Ailes the same email.
“” Send Geraldo At Large,
On a Garbage Barge,
To p m s n b c “”
Cheers!
His career was set in motion by the last good thing he did,.....Willowbrook, 1972.
According to Wikipedia he was born Gerald RIVIERA.
Have you SEEN BOR’s ratings? He isn’t going away for a long time.
I will never understand why Fox hired him. “Fair and balanced”?
Yeah, whatever. Fox can pound sand like the rest of them.
Why do you care?
