It's not proper on FR but I can't help but like this guy. Maybe because he pisses everybody off. My kind a guy.
He's definately a big grandstander and that turns people off. But sometimes he comes thru, like when went after OJ.

Gotta tell you, I've known Geraldo since @ '74 and if you are a fifty something year old guy who has mixed it up every once in a while and gave as good as you got and knew how to drink with the fellas without ending the night having everyone in the joint wanting to kick your ass then yeah, you'd get along with him.
Wait a second ... is this THE chesty_puller???
I haven't seen you around in a while.
BTTT
Geraldo should challenge Sulzberger to a fistfight at the NYAC.
Not mine. The guy is an out and out liar. I bring attention to the summer of 2000 when some slimebag multi murderer was due to fry at a Texas state prison and Whorealdo in all his self-righteous splendor was standing outside the prison alongside the throngs of protestors who were protesting the upcoming deep-fry.
Whorealdo unabashedly and passionately blamed the upcoming execution entirely on then Governor George Bush due to his refusing to issue a stay of execution which is permissible in Texas.
What the Whore didn't tell the viewing audience was the fact that the soon to fry had already been granted "2" Stays of Execution, the maximum permitted under Texas state law, by Governor Bush's predecessor Ma Richards..........
Governor George W. Bush had absolutely no legal authority whatsoever to postpone the punishment the perp had coming to him.....
Yeah, agree with both sides here. He is an egotistical, narcissist, grand-stander, but about 80% of the time he is fair. He is obviously a LE/military wannabe –you know when he is in Iraq he carries a gun. He has some sort of uniform fetish, LOL.
But all that said, he is entraining to watch, even when he is sobbing like he did Thursday night. LOL! I like watching him for the theater, at least he’s up front about his biases and ‘hot dogging’, reporters are such phonies – he doesn’t fake it.
I have always liked Geraldo. He ran the only TV talk show (this was back when Chris Matthews' 'Hardball' was still big) where the guests actually had an opportunity to complete their thoughts uninterrupted. No matter who the guests were, liberal or conservative, Geraldo gave everybody a fair chance to speak their piece. I always respected him for that.
