Thank you. I thought the blogger's comment about Geraldo "slaving at a reported $2 million a year" was hysterical.

Geraldo, Fox News sign new contract

At 61, Geraldo Rivera says he's growing up.
"Maybe I'm immature, and it took me longer than it takes most people. The gravity of family is very strong. I want to be a more settled person."
With his fifth wife, Erica, 30, expecting their first baby in August, Rivera decided this week to re-up with Fox News Channel for four years.
As correspondent-at-large, a new title, Rivera will keep his 10 p.m. weekend show, "At Large." He says he got a promotion, offering no details.
Rivera quit CNBC to join Fox News as a war correspondent soon after Sept. 11, 2001. Now he says he's looking for less hazardous duty. (This from a guy who takes a helicopter to work.)
"I'm very respectful of this stage in my life," says Rivera, on his way to Cape Cod, to skipper his 70-foot ketch, Voyager, in a race to Bermuda.

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."
Fox News heavyweights Bill O'Reilly and Sean Hannity "are easy targets. Why discount me? My image is more ambiguous. I was Bill Clinton's No. 1 supporter, and I'm proud of it. I adore his lovely wife," Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York.
