Like many here, I am sick of Whorealdo and his showboating. Recently, he brought an even more obvious Barnum & Bailey aspect to his "coverage" of the war.

Unlike other reporters who showed up with helmets, gas masks and serious reporting, Jerry showed up with his gamblers moustache, suspenders and cowboy hat. Then, he used the troops - lots and lots of them - as props and extras for his schtick. He is an embarassment, detracting from FOX coverage. I couldn't watch him very long and turned to other stations. The worst I saw was a week ago in Aghanistan when he had a hangar full of troops OOAAHing! on cue for his endless patter. I was horrifyed when he showed up in Iraq to upstage all the other reporters who are doing such a fine job.

Good riddance!

Now FOX needs to get rid of their other star Liberal, Greta von MushMouth. They need to hire somebody who can talk straight, ask coherent questions (not lawyer questions) and not irrelevantly butt in all over her guests.

Well said.

God, I hope this report is true. Who would really want Geraldo embedded in their unit? Some of the SF guys in Afghanistan hated him. In the new book The Hunt For Bin Laden the author claims one group of SF wanted to see somebody punch out Geraldo and they actually drew straws to determine who would do it if they got the chance. They thought he was phony who tried to take advantage of them by offering a chance to say hello to family and friends in the States in return for intel.

If Geraldo wants to stay on in Iraq as a "unilateral", that's fine. Send him to Baghdad ASAP!!

I agree, her ratings are not bad, because anything on FoxNews will do better than the rest of the pack, but imagine the ratings if Newt or someone else sharp and not a closet liberal was the host. I'll take 5 minutes of Ollie North's quality reports over an hour of Geraldo's patronizing the troops show any day.
