Geraldo Rivera is a fool (Lileks Goes Medieval on Rivera)
Lileks.com Daily Bleat ^ | 3/18/02 | James Lilek

Posted on 03/18/2002 2:41:53 PM PST by IowaHawk

Geraldo Rivera is a fool. Yes, I know - water’s wet, the sky is blue; what other insight can I bring to the table today? I’ve always thought he was a ridiculous character, almost something the Onion would hire for an advice column. Ask the War Correspondent Who Looks like a 70s Porn Star.

Dear War Correspondent Who Looks Like a 70s Port Star: my girlfriend gets jealous when I run to an ex and talk to her for more than a minute. Is this normal, or should I ask her to lighten up?


TOPICS: Miscellaneous
KEYWORDS: geraldo; lileks
Please click to read the rest of Lilek's evisceration of Fox-TV's village idiot - it's a gem. Sample:

"I fully expected the father to ram the heel of his hand into Geraldo’s trachea and drive his hyoid bone clean through the back of the kapok-stuffed gourd Geraldo calls a head. But the father didn’t move a muscle."

Lileks is a genius. I know that he writes for a paper in Minnesota, but I wish that the Arizona Republic would syndicate his Bleat.

Perhaps to borrow Rivera's recent motto, the Pali "warriors" should think of him as an Israeli oppressor, and the Israeli self-defense forces should think of him as a Pali terrorist. Then his candle would burn at both ends, and a light might glimmer in the dark obscure recesses of his soul.

Nice post. I'll add lileks to my favorites list. BTW, can any Freepers add comment to his sort of warm review of Mamet's Heist? Worth buying the DVD? Worth renting?

I saw the interview & I was enraged at Geraldo. I wish the father would have popped Geraldo in the schnozz. But, no, despite Geraldo's idiotic blathering about being a "Palestinianist" to a father who had his daughter slaughtered by a Palestinian terrorist, the father was dignified, articulate and tore Geraldo to shreds with his words.

Aside from being a "palestinianist", Geraldo is a catfish, big mouth and no brain.

so they interviewed this haughty sack of goo I see and hear on every talk show. I can’t remember his name, but he’s the spokesman for a leading Arab-American group,

I bet he knows his name and it is Ibish. The 'haughty sack of goo' gives it away.

Was disappinted. Went to see hackman. He went throught the motions with Devito. Perdictable plot. Rent don't buy. Or go for a walk.

Lileks is great. I miss his short lived weekend radio show.

FNC must have my email address on the block list. No replies to my many emails concerning the fake, fraud (Fog of War)Rivera. I don't watch FNC as much now. I really thought they were serious about their reputation. I guess not.... Geraldo and Greta are the pits!
