Geraldo Rivera’s breathless tease
Update 9/1: Geraldo Rivera is insane and unhinged. He has threatened to spit on me.
***
If you want ignorant ranting about immigration and the Zina Linnik case, go watch Geraldo Rivera (thanks to readers for e-mailing me about it over the weekend and AP for clipping the vid). Utterly shameless. Geraldo teased his Saturday night segment on the case by claiming that Zina’s uncle, Anatoly Kalchik, would argue that Zina’s accused murderer should be called a “monster” instead of an “immigrant:”
GERALDO: The tragic story was twisted to aggravate the immigration debate… A little girl snatched and brutally murdered. Tonight her family speaks out on why his “immigrant” label should be replaced by “monster.”
The only thing twisted, though, was Geraldo’s big tease. Mr. Kalchick did not say what Geraldo said he would say. Geraldo didn’t even ask him about the immigration angle in the interview that aired.
Why not?
Perhaps because Mr. Kalchick would have told Geraldo what he told the Seattle Post-Intelligencer (noted in my post yesterday):
…Zina’s uncle was angry that the suspect had not been deported after being convicted in a sex crime.
“We are all immigrants, but we come legally,” Kalchik said of his family. He added that the adults all cleared a criminal background check.
“If someone is a sex offender, or any kind of offender, he has no business being in America,” he said.
After failing to deliver on his breathless tease, Geraldo instead directed his vitriol at…me:
GERALDO: At this point, I have to point out how in my view, this awful case was distorted by anti-immigrant radicals like Michelle Malkin to make a cheap point. Michelle said that this tragedy was the result of our open borders policy, that allows creeps like this guy to sneak in. In fact, it has nothing to do with our borders, open or otherwise. This alleged perpetrator, as far as I know, is a US Army veteran, the stepson of another Army veteran, and he’s not being–he’s being held by INS, but that’s only pending other charges filed against him–charges like failing to register as a sex offender. You know, I wonder how long we’re going to have to wait for an apology on this one.
How about an apology for exploiting and misrepresenting Zina’s uncle? How about an apology for putting words in his mouth and the mouths of the Linnik family? How about an apology for erroneously claiming that Terapon Adhahn was a naturalized American citizen? How about an apology for misleading Fox News viewers about Adhahn’s immigration detention and withholding vital information about the systemic, long-standing failures of the government at all levels to deport criminal aliens?
This case and its ramifications have everything to do with open borders. Clue: “Open borders” is a metaphor for the willful, malign neglect of the entire immigration and entrance system–not just at the physical borders, but on the interior, at our consular offices abroad, on the immigration services side, throughout the investigations and enforcement bureaucracies, and in the detention and deportation offices.
But with clueless Geraldo, the immigration debate is always and only about one border–the southern border. It’s only about one kind of immigrant: Hispanic illegal aliens. And it’s all about one cheap set of talking points: All illegal aliens are hard-working angels, all ICE agents are jack-booted thugs, and everyone who believes in enforcing immigration laws is an “anti-immigrant radical.”
Remember: Geraldo’s so over the cliff, his answer to whether any criminal aliens should ever be deported was a blubbering digression about John Lennon.
Geraldo is worse than worthless. So I won’t waste another word. There’s too much work to do.
As they say on TV: Stay tuned.

As stated before and Michelle has pointed out Geraldo is myopic in regards to the immigration issue.
I can’t stand Geraldo. Everytime I see him on Fox news I change the channel. Needless to say, I don’t watch Fox much any more.
A nation that refuses to maintain its territorial integrity or enforce its laws will eventually cease to be a nation. And maybe, just maybe, that is the point as there is growing emphasis on the idea of a Euro-socialistic North American Union.
Give him hell, Michelle! Geraldo is placing his loyalty to his ethnicity ahead of his loyalty to his country. Thanks for calling him out.
Geraldo has been a joke for decades now. He’s not worth your time or space.
Fox News wants to be “fair and balanced,” so it opens its programming hours to illegal aliens/outlaws supporters, like Geraldo Rivera, and to terrorists supporters like the Saudi Royal family who bought a share in Murdoch’s empire.
What is the difference between MSNBC, CNN and Fox News?
The answer:
MM, that would be “worthless”. What surprises me is that Geraldo has any credibility at all. He’s a shill and a promoter, not a journalist. I ignore him…its not working, though…he’s still around
It’s a shame, really…
I came to really respect him during the early stages of the Iraq war. He seemed to have come over to the conservative side then.
It’s a little sad to see him revert so much…
If only Geraldo could go back to the days of opening the safe of Al Capone. A time when life was much simpler.
When it comes to Geraldo and the Fox News Channel, it’s “Fair and Un-Balanced” (or is it un-hinged?).
Shouldn’t that be:
I never understood why Fox hired Geraldo. He was a loose cannon who ran shows much like the View and with about the same level of integrity and intellect. He has managed to work his way back up the food chain at Fox, and this is not to the credit of the Fox management.
FoxNews holds the respect of its viewers because it not only presents both sides of an argument but because it uses facts and abhors propaganda. If FoxNews ever slips over the line into the liberal bias of CNN, MSNBC or the mainstream media, it will lose its viewership very rapidly. (All you have to do is examine the situation at CBS and NBC to see just how fast you can lose.)
“Anti-immigrant radical?” Thats a stupid comment. MM’s parents were immigrants. Methinks Anti-Illegal patriot should be used. What’s so radical about inforcing our laws Geraldo?
Geraldo’s memoirs should be ghost-written by Ted Rall in comic book form. And that should be the last we hear from either of them. Geraldo is shameless and willfully ignorant.
Hi Michelle
Nice smack-down, but you really shouldn’t pick on people as small as Geraldo. Mmmmmmm, well, I guess he asked for it. Uh, begged for it.
His latest bit of idiocy is, of course, just another variation on his Capone theme - lotsa hype, but nothing in the vault.
Luv your stuff. Keep up the great work.
All the best, Sean O’
To pile on. His head is just as empty.
“GERALDO: …how in my view, this awful case was distorted by anti-immigrant radicals like Michelle Malkin to make a cheap point. Michelle said that this tragedy was the result of our open borders policy… In fact, it has nothing to do with our borders, open or otherwise…”
I’d make my stand there. Our borders and immigration have been merged under the (Lettuce) Department of Homeland Security. And the failure of our government to deport him back in the 1990 case (four years after the last time the illegal immigration problem was “solved” with amnesty) has everything to do with the open borders debate.
And how arrogant to use the rhetorical mechanism “anti-immigration radical”, which is what the liberal media has been doing for some time to paint a picture of those who favor law and order in this country as xenophobes.
I’d challenge Geraldo, since he apparently reads Michelle Malkin’s work, to find a single example of where Michelle made a statement that was against legal immigration.
(Crickets chirping)
Michelle, what are the chances of your appearing with Giraldo in another showdown on the Factor this week? You cleaned his clock the last time.
Is Geraldo applying for a Job on The View?
Jerry Rivers’ act has gotten so damned old (figuratively and literally). I have not been able to stomach him for years (decades?).
When he was covering the Iraq war in his skin tight jeans and Ausie bush hat, I just wanted puke every time I saw him. Now, this immigration crap he throws around is beyond disgusting. I hope Fox realizes that I change the channel, and don’t tune in again for days or weeks, every time they put that clown on!
The guy is only about sensationalism, and controversy. It’s made him a millionaire many times over. Why should he stop now. Maybe he should team up with the other “Jerry”… Springer.
The guy is a total embarrassment.
Obviously, Geraldo and others like him don’t seem to understand that you can be against illegal immigration but still be for legal immigration. And, if you are against illegal immigration, it doesn’t mean that you are a bigot or racist. It just means that you respect the law.
All I can say is the no one person can say that FOX news isn’t ‘fair and balanced’. Geraldo disgusts me and I wish he would go away. Because of his heritage he will die defending the ‘illegal immigrant’ regardless of what they do when here. He’s right up there with the NAACP and CAIR.
Geraldo wants to give our country away, like he gave away our locations in Afghanistan! The military kicked him out then, and we should kick him out now!!!!!
Way to go! It’s about time Geraldo’s feet were held to the fire. It’s been a long time coming.
What’s interesting to me is just how many sections from the “Liberal’s Guide to Debate” he’s following. He’s managed to distort, deflect, attack the critics, resort to moral authority, etc. He’s certainly a perfect example of Reagan’s quip about liberals.
Why doesn’t he report for the NY Times?

My concern with Foxnews is that it is beginning to slip more and more into tabloid news coverage. They were obsessed with Anna Nicole Smith and then Paris Hilton with non-stop coverage for weeks it seemed - especially on the John Gibson show. Or maybe that’s the purpose of his segment and I missed the gradual change…
I dread when there is an actual news alert of significance. They cover it over and over for hours and if it’s a slow news weekend, the whole weekend.
Have they ever put that fire out in front of the Glasgow Airport?
I never watched Geraldo before he was on Fox and I don’t watch him now. He has always been a shameless attention whore and I don’t know why anything he does surprises anyone.
Didn’t Geraldo and O’Reilly work with each other long ago on A Current Affair? To me, that would seem like the only reason FOX continues to allow themselves to be a host to Geraldo’s antics…because Bill thinks he’s a friend.
Sunday afternoons are for being outside. Not inside watching this juvenile throw a fit. FOX needs to put him back in the late hour slot……like 3:00 a.m
You remember the interview with Bill O and Geraldo, over the immigration issue? Obviously , Gerald Rivers feels Mrs. Malkin kicked his A$$ more than Mr. O. His fake machismo was smashed by a lot of BOO-FREAKEN-HOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Did you see the sequence where he tried to hold the kid that threw the temper tantrum on the airlines. Kid wanted no part of him. Smart boy.
“Worseless?” Now I know you’re angry, Michelle - I think this is the first time I’ve seen you slip - unless, of course, you’re emulating Shakespeare and coining new words in your prose.
That doesn’t take away anything of substance, though, from what you wrote about Geraldo. “Cad” is the word that comes to mind here.
Geraldo should have closed his show with the info for donations to the Linnik family instead of attacking Michelle.
Perhaps someone should remind Geraldo that if John Lennon had been deported he would probably still be alive today.
Then the moonbats would have brand new songs to sing instead of the tired old “Give Peace a Chance” and “Imagine”
“Worseless:” The hazards of blogging without caffeine…
Murtha is the worstest! haha
I’d like to make a couple of points about all of these issues.
First … For the millionth time … what don’t people understand about the word ILLEGAL … No one is saying shut the borders down to immigration … and we are not talking about only people of Hispanic origin … we are simply saying we want only those persons who abide by our laws and the system in place to come to this country LEGALLY to be allowed to enter …
Secondly … If we can’t call them ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS can we call them TRESPASSERS … and if so … I believe that is also a crime in this country … is it not? … In case many are not aware of the facts … much of the land along the border is privately owned by farmers, ranchers, etc … they constantly deal with torn down fences … livestock getting out and even being killed … tons of trash on their land … and even finding dead bodies …
Thirdly … No one is perfect … Initial information is always sketchy … and MM can make occasional mistakes in her initial reports just as everyone else can and has (Geraldo, CNN, MSNBC, MSM, NYT etc.) … I have seen many corrections and apologies from MM over the years when something has proven differently than first reported … but have yet to see so much as a single one from any of the aforementioned sources … I do believe that you have all seen many disclaimers about something “developing” on this site …
Next … I don’t always agree with any individual in the media at any level … all I ask is give me all sides of the issue and let me make up my own mind how I feel about it …
Lastly … Geraldo has done some good things with the troops and has reported on the good things going on in both Iraq and Afghanistan on more than one occasion … for that I commend him and thank him … but the immigration issues are an area where we disagree … I do not think it is simply ethnicity … I think he truly does not understand what is going on at the everyday joe level … I have grandkids that cannot get any of the traditional entry-level summer type jobs because employers can hire 2 ILLEGALS for less than they would have to pay 1 LEGAL worker … and forget that crap about them paying taxes and all that … they are paid cash under the table …
Sorry … didn’t mean for this to turn into such a long post …
Have a GREAT DAY everyone …
I’m changing my name from Gerald to Geraldo for three reasons:
1) I can’t get women with the name Gerald.
2) To get More Hispanic viewers, my own people know I’m a fake.
3) So that when I give our military positions to the enemy, I can blame on Hispanics.
I am writing the DHS on how I can change my status to ‘illegal’. I won’t have to pay taxes, my kids can receive reduced tuitions and I can make my local ‘Emergency’ room my place for healthcare. Anyone else want to come along for a free ride? Oh and I don’t have to buy auto insurance either.
Geraldo is an abomination to human decency. His mindless shilling for illegal alien criminals is beyond excuse.
Trying to make Michelle “apologize” regarding a brutal murder by an illegal alien sex offender is really about as low as someone can go… and Geraldo always manages to plumb the depths of stupidity on a daily basis.
Why Fox even has this abomination on the air is beyond me. He belongs on PMSNBC, right after Keith Olberdork.
Honestly Michelle, don’t appear with this guy. Continue to put in print the facts as they pertain to him and his sadly distorted view. But you know as well as I, any “debate” (impossible with people like him) will follow the usual smirking/talking over you/ lying/ fillibustering template. At this point Fox uses him strictly as a ratings grabber…
There ya go.
And to think the Dems want to bring back the Fairness Doctrine. Geraldo covers all bases of idiocy. Feinstein, Pelosi, Durbin et al should be happy that their voices are heard on the TV.
Geminicontender …
You left out not having to pay for license tags and get a driver’s license … not to mention housing assistance, welfare and food stamps … otherwise … well said
yes, the list goes on forever……….
We all know it is ’so mostest worse’.
Geraldo needs to stick to compromising combat troops in the field. It’s funny how his ‘monster’ turns into ‘patriot’ after his characterizations are used (’This alleged perpetrator, as far as I know, is a US Army veteran, the stepson of another Army veteran. . .’). Whatever he is, according to Geraldo, if he is a criminal, he isn’t an illegal alien.
You should be honored Michelle, after all he picked you to plug as someone who is ‘on our side’. Any publicity is good publicity. Geraldo is trying to hitch his dying star to yours in the hopes of gaining credibility. Geraldo now is just a name with no substance. When he mentions your name, he feels it gives him substance. That’s a good thing.
Keep up the good work.
Geraldo you can whine and cry all you want about this not being an immigration issue. The fact is, that shamnesy was defeated, and one of the people responsible for this, is Mrs. Malkin. Oh, did I mention she made you look like a horses a$$ on the Factor?
ThackerAgency;
Wells said. Geraldo needs a boost and MM is one who can make his day. Poor, poor Geraldo.
Odd that he defends the troops and the killing of innocent children. Yet those same illegals that are committing these crimes and terrorists that are slipping through those open borders, he so righteously defends.
Speaks outta both sides of his moustache.
He was a lawyer. Need I say much more?
Not all lawyers are bad let me add.
Just an observation of the TV lawyers.
Geraldo is not worthy of being worthless. He is truly worseless!!!!! Is that worth anything?
If I recall correctly, he also made mention of his own “Hispanic-American” children. I remember wondering what relevance he thought his own US citizen children had to the issue of illegal immigration. He just throws out high-impact emotional information that sounds like it MIGHT be connected to the issue, but isn’t, really.
There were VICTIMS here, first the innocent child and then her entire family and friends. How many more VICTIMS do there need to be before the government does its job? I’m afraid it will only happen when a high profile person needlessly dies at the hands of an illegal immigrant. Then, all hell will break loose. Until then, the Zinnas of this world will just become another crime statistic.
Way to go MM! Really have Geraldo tagged! He is almost the spitting image of Jaun Hernandez, complete with mustache and stupid smug grin. Maybe they are really twins brothers, do you suppose?
Such a couple of sickening freaks! Fox, check your listeners when they switch channels when Geraldo and brother come on any Fox program.
Geraldo is just looking for a fight like the ones he used to do on his show. He is a no talent blathering moron who lost all credibility years ago with the Al Capon caper.
Im glad to see Michelle stand up to him and show him for the fool he really is. He is the media whore that the NBPP should be calling out. Thing is he can’t back up anything he says anymore… if he ever did.
Geraldo doesn’t get it. It’s not the color of your skin…it’s the behavior that catagorizes one as an illegal alien. I think most people who want the current immigration laws enforced are not anti-immigration but just the opposite. Pro-immigration and anti-illegal immigration. Why is Geraldo so anti-legal immigration? Most immigrants that have come here legally and earned their citizenship are anti-illegal immigrants and I would bet they are not anti-immigration.
RogersUmp says it correctly. Color has nothing to do with this. It is called ‘morality, ethics, common sense and respect for laws’. These people do not fit in those categories. We call them ‘lawbreakers’.
When Michelle debates Geraldo, she has a battle of wits with an unarmed opponent. He always loses.
Geraldo resorts to name calling and misleading statements to present his baised and irrational views. Worthless is an understatement.
In fairness to Geraldo, I think the immigration debate is indeed largely about Hispanics in general and Mexicans in particular. After all, Mexicans comprise the biggest chunk of illegals, and the Mexican elites still permit their people to believe they are morally entitled to jump the fence, not only to make a living but to correct the historic injustice of 1848. That way Mexico can dump its “surplus” population here, benefit from their remittances and perpetuate its dysfunctional system with a clear conscience. The open-borders activists further facilitates this although any honest leftist would surely blanche at the thought that he or she is little more than an American comprador of Mexican mandarins. Of course Geraldo doesn’t mention that. But let’s face it, neither do most of his opponents.
I think Geraldo is attempting to become the Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson of Latinos. That is something they do not need! Both men have done far more harm to blacks than good, only to enrich themselves.
I would not be surprised if Geraldo pulled some over the top stunt to have himself removed from Fox News so as to solidify his position.
When he was justifiably removed as an embed in Iraq I knew he was too self-absorbed to be a reliable reporter anymore. But I didn’t know at the time he’d become dangerous, willing to openly lie about something so vital just to increase his fame.
Geraldo is of the same ilk as low-life race-baiters Sharpton and Jackson. Whenever he appears on any television show, I immediately change the channel. No ratings points from me!
I am so tired of PC. Let’s call a ’spade’ a spade. Geraldo is PR (Puerto Rican for the PC police). He is not from Latin America, or Mexico.
He is no more Mexican than Hillary is southern Black (even though she tries to be).
So let’s try to speak clearly Geraldo on who and what you are. He forgets that with open borders we have others that come across too that are not Mexican. Thanks to DHS.
Better
I can NOT stand to watch Geraldo. I push the clicker when he comes on. I can not understand why FNC continues to employ him. I can’t imagine it helps their ratings. I have emailed Roger Ailes many times saying: GET RIG OF GERALDO !!! We should start a letter writing campaign to
Ailes. My disdain for Geraldo goes back to the OJ trial.
Anyone with any sense these days are turning the channel or the tv off when Geraldo comes on, or if they leave it, it’s just to see outrageous he’ll be. He can not be taken serious. And the way that he attacked Michelle was ridiculous. Michelle a radical? It’s laughable, but sadly that’s what he is.
I wish Fox would drop him. At one point I was starting to like him, after not liking him, not I’m back to really not liking him. When a reporter twists stories, personalizes and gets emotional, without giving real facts, he needs to go.
I think Geraldo needs to pair up with Rosie O and develop a new television segement called “The Skew.”
It is PC to suggest that the children and grandchildren of DP’s are “assimilated” because they speak English, but in fact many chamberpot immigrants’ descendants like Geraldo retain the primitive cultural value of being more loyal to family, gang, and race than to our country for generation after generation, which will eventually lead to the sort of tribalism and Balkanization we seen in Iraq. The countries of Latin America and Africa are lands of abundance and wealth. What is responsible for their misery? The people, of course.
Geraldo should sign a loyalty oath or be deported. We need to identify these internal enemies of the state and get them out of the shadows as we did for the commie threat. “Are you now or have you ever been a supporter of illegal infiltration?”
in response to Alphonse;
you are correct about responsibility for misery. However, we have elected officials that condone this behavior. We need a whole new group of people in our government to change course. Note I did not say ‘politicians.’
The States were founded with the Holy Bible being our guiding force for all morality. It has now been subjected to 2nd class status because of ‘diversity.’
Emmy Nominee’s for the best comedy this year should include “Geraldo at Large” and Harry Ried for his “Tommy” rant on CSPAN.
Let’s not forget the likes of Kieth Ellison (D-MN) who states that George Bush is just like Hitler. He even approves support for atheists. Hmmmm. Ironic, no?
Remember when Haraldo was reporting live from Afghanistan,in 2001,when a RPG round wizzed past him? He might be a little rattled.I would opt for better aimed Taliban rockets.
Anyone know if Geraldo even actually “speaks Spanish” … just curious from some of the occasional poor pronunciation of Spanish terms that I hear …
Y sí, esto es un exámen por señor Geraldo
I just want to know if his brain and his rear end are interchangeable. What a crock of (Insert favorite Animal Dung). He was illegal, a convicted sex offender, so deportation should have been done. I don’t care if this guy got the Congressional Medal of Honor, he got here through the open border policy. Sorry Geraldo, you’re wrong.
DesertLover-
Geraldo does speaks Spanish, his mother named him Gerald because she did not favor Hispanics. Gerald has a Puerto Rican Father. Make sense?
The Senate,House,White House and all of America should be 100% behind enforcement of the current laws. Anything else is unacceptable.
Still, on your worst day without coffee, you are better than Gerald-ino on his best day (what ever that may be).
I think you got it right - “worseless”.

Just wondered as I see more and more of the media pundits trying to use non-English phraseology with the mojority of the words poorly pronounced …
Not sure if that is intended to make them seem more “wordly” or to generate more appeal to the non-English speaking viewers to make them seem more “sympathetic” …
You need lots of money ajmontana for tat to happen.
How about ‘clueless’?
re: enforcing current laws …
ajmontana said “Anything else is unacceptable” …
I would say “Anything LESS is unacceptable” …
Yes Desertlover…LESS is better ….thank you… and I’m in Palm desert but not lovin the 110 heat for today…lol
I’ve recently been wondering why Fox News has been running so many Viagra commercials lately. I guess with Geraldo on they must find something to continue to be fair and balanced.
ajmontana …
George Hamilton toasty here in AZ as well … LOL
To all the people that want Geraldo booted from FNC: I say that he should stay. (Waiting for the boos and hisses to die down…) If he leaves, he’ll just turn up on CNN or MSNBC where there will be no one to debate him and make him look like a fool as Michelle did on The Factor. He would just go on saying the things he’s been saying without anyone to hold him accountable or to debunk his allegations.
gregorystephens …
I’m with you on this one … better to have the opportunity to confront an opposing viewpoint than have it hiding out on another network
Wait a second, there’s other Networks?
Gerald Says:
“This alleged perpetrator, as far as I know, is a US Army veteran, the stepson of another Army veteran, and he’s not being–he’s being held by INS, but that’s only pending other charges filed against him–charges like failing to register as a sex offender.”
I know what is wrong, INS is so busy holding un-registered sex offenders it doesn’t have time to do its real job: Stop illegal immigrants and deport them. That explains everything.
How can he think that anyone is that stupid to think that someone is held by immigration for not registering as a sex offender. since when did that become the mission of INS? NO HE IS BEING HELD BY INS.. BECAUSE HE HE VIOLATED THE LAW AND NOW HAS AN ILLEGAL IMMIMGRANT STATUS… HELLOOOO GERALDOOOO

We’re with “on my soapbox” - Geraldo was a fraud in Chicago years ago and nothing has changed. It boggles the mind that Fox hired him. Keep up the good work, Michelle!
Is there any way to contact Fox News regarding Geraldo’s multiple errors? Do they have an ombudsman? I couldn’t find any contact info for Geraldo’s show. Anyone know??
I prefer whorealdo on msnbc or cnn, i never watch those stations other than documentaries…therefore i wouldn’t have to change the channel.
If there is a follow-up with MM on BOR, I would like for The Big O(sarcsm, getting hard to watch him also) to take charge and have the points thrown by Whorealdo substantiated before moving on. MM beats him like a stepchild but BO doesn’t control (ok) geraldo and he just keeps chirping, like a baby sparrow.
Nice job Michelle. As a courtesy, please provide Jerry with a colostomy bag.
Geraldo is just another MSM liar who is most interested in himself and pushing his own agenda. He has no qualms about lying and misrepresenting anything at all. ‘Fair and Balanced’ he is definitely NOT. Does it seem like Fox is drifting more and more liberal to you all? It does to me.
I just switch the channel or turn the TV off when I see him.

Keep it clean, but let them know what you think in no uncertain terms!
truthmattersfa, try foxnews.com or on the same site “At Large with…”
Geraldo is completely self serving lying sensationalists. The best way to show Fox that he isn’t worthy of that network is to turn off Fox anytime Geraldo is on. That may work, and it’ll certainly help my blood pressure..
longbow, Where do you see libs that don’t lie and misrepresent themselves. And, yes, I find Fox moving left more and more…J Gibson is now no more than a tabloid, what a let down that is, i like Gibson and his presentations, but…management i assume.
The “let them all in daisy chain” is really making me nauseous, watching it spin and spin and spin.
Ouch! That was a nice smackdown.
I just hope the next step isn’t “Colmes and Hannity”
Wow! I guess Michelle isn’t going to be having a cup of java in the breakroom with Geraldo anytime soon.
What a tool, that guy is. And Fox should probably have a real debate between those two on this and other immigration issues.
I wonder who would come off looking like a “radical” and who would be seen as reasonable.
No brainer…
Actually, there is a perfect spot on Fox for Geraldo. He could join the other morons on Red Eye.
There is too much emphasis on emotional topics and not enough on topics that really have an impact on every American. Can anyone here tell me how Anna Nichol Smith’s Drug Death or Paris Hilton in Jail actually affected their life? - yet we were besieged for weeks by breaking news. The networks, including Fox News, are moving left because they are appealing more and more to emotional silliness rather than serious thought.
By the way, here is a website that might actually have some practical use regarding the potential for terrorism around the world. It is http://www.globalincidentmap.com/home.php
Ms. Malkin,
Next you will probably have the audacity to claim that Geraldo’s special on Al Capone’s vaults was a failure. Oh, wait a minute, it was. Never mind.

Publius,
I agree with every word you said. We cannot win the War on Terror until we get away and defeat the “War Against Nonsense.”

http://blacktygrrrr.wordpress.com/2007/04/12/the-war-against-nonsense/
It is difficult to deal with real world issues when my television set is filled with irrelevancies.
Unless Geraldo or any other television celebrity is interviewing General David Petraeus, chances are the interview is pointless.

Fox has become the National Enquirer of TV. Ergo, Geraldo fits perfectly. I eagerly await his special on “Space Alien Ate My Burger!” and Geraldo’s tearful defense of the right of job-seeking visitors from other planets to consume our tasty (non-human) carbon-based, trans-fat-free food products.
It would have been poetic justice if the hidden “locker of Al Capone” had connected to a tunnel across the Canadian border.
Thanks, Longbow, for the addresses. Let’s all tell Fox that we switch channels or “mute” when Rivera comes on because he’s such a pandering liar.
Michelle, don’t let him get to you.
Shouldnt this idiot be in jail for giving away the position of US troops which got him bounced from the embeds?
Its been said before, but hes as empty as Al Capones vault.

He has let his racism overwhelm his self control and has absolutely no credibility on the immigration issue.
He is an embarrassment to FOX and is costing them viewers.
Geraldildo was there for the liberal viewers. But now Shep (wayleft) Smith has taken that spot.
Geraldildo is on Fox for {some of} the Hispanic viewers, the pro-illegal alien Hispanics, not the good ones.
Fox made a bad business move to allow him to continue his hate rage this year, but they feared the simple fact that amnesty might have passed. Then they would be geniuses and doubled their viewers in 6 years. But it FAILED as did Geraldone.
With shamnesty gone, so should Geraldildo be gone, forever.
Worthless is exactly what he is to America and Americans.
Why would fox’s rating increase when that dullard whorealdo is on lying and over talking others? Doesn’t do msnbc or cnn much good, near as i can tell.
I think I agree. What good can come of it for you Michelle? It most assuredly wont go as you envision it to go, altho you might be able to pre-set some ‘guidelines’ or time limits to follow.
But it might end up just the same as arguing with a blabbering & obliterated drunkard.
Geraldo reminds me of just that, a wasted drunk refusing to listen to all reason.
Michelle, I’m in the camp with Geraldo and not using this to exploit the immigration problem. But I’m in your camp for border defense. We do need borders, but not an expensive wall. He should not of took shots like that at you.
Horrendous Revolver misfires again
Methinks he protests too much. Methinks he is a racist and is prejudiced (positively) in a perverted way.
This illegal alien, immigrant monster had no business in our country.
Gerald owes Michelle Malkin and the American people an apology for his ignorance regarding immigration law.
Does he not know that visa violations are part of the problem? He must be still sobbing over the lost amnesty bill and hyper defensive.
Here is what was said by ICE, Geraldo (you ninny:Federal authorities had legal grounds to deport him 17 years ago, after his 1990 conviction for incest. They didn’t. “He escaped our attention,” said Lorie Dankers, spokeswoman for Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Seattle.
If Bill O’Reilly’s viewers decrease each time he has Geraldo on his show, I betcha he won’t be invited too often.
I, for one, am going to email FOX and tell them to not renew Geraldo (remember his sobbing during Katrina? HELP ME! I am going to be raped!).
The network lost credibility when they hired this moron. He is not a journalist, he is a lawyer-hysteric with an inflated ego. I wish someone else would throw a chair at his nose.
Fixed that for you.
ANYTHING that incorporates an appearance by the reprehensible Geraldo Rivera will be swiftly switched off. I, too will let Fox News know this.
How many times does Geraldo have to be told that Michelle is against ILLEGAL immigration?
He calls her an “anti immigrant radical”. Geraldo is a “let all the criminal illegal aliens stay in America” radical. A commenter above is right. He puts his loyalty to his ethnicity before his country. Shameful.
It galls me that Fox & others consider Geraldo a genuine journalist…
It and their comic news segment, no matter how good, have convinced me that they are simply retreating towards being an entertainment network….thus, Geraldo…he makes entertainment, no matter how bad….
Michelle constantly eviscerates him with her intellect…..love it….
C’mon you guys! Geraldo is a great journalistic reporter!
Remember when he had that Jerry Springer-style talk show and got his nose busted by a flying chair? Remember when he spent three hours sneaking into Capone’s vault only to find nothing? Remember when he had a boxing match with Howard Stern or whoever it was over a personal insult? Remember when, being the gentleman that he is, when it was discovered that he had bed Bette Midler he said he did it because he was a sex addict?
Oh and he’s so proud of his Hispanic heritage - only when it wasn’t hip to be Hispanic on TV he called himself Jerry Rivers.
Just when he begins to get some credibility for his dangerous coverage in Iraq, he reminds us all of what a two-bit sensationalist he is.
By the way, unlike Mr O’s ratings numbers which rise even higher when Michelle is subbing, Rivera’s Saturday gab-fest numbers are in the tank. So after 20 years or more in the biz, Jerry Rivers is such a loser that newcomer Michelle (who is admittedly brilliant)cleans his clock all the time.
Unfortunately, Michelle, I respectfully submit that you can’t just ignore old Jerry any more than we can ignore terrorists, because with his view on immigration policy, he isn’t too far from the definition himself.
Dadling:
Don’t dismiss the Half Hour News Hour as mere entertainment. Liberals have known for years that parody is a devistatingly effective form of exposing truths (or in their case, disseminating propoganda).
Even though I’m not a big fan of the show which still seems to be getting its sea legs, I applaud Fox for getting it up and running. Besides, Fox is a fair and balanced network, yes? Where else on television are you likely to find political parody designed for a right wing audience?
Don’t knock it. At this point, any victory is a good victory.
I have been switching to MSNBC when Jerry Rivers comes on in order to make an indirect statement to FOX.
I was pleasantly surprised to see so many kindred souls.
But, after reading so many comments I realalize I have been remiss in my duty.
I need to write to FOXNEWS and roger directly
Again Michelle, I side with you on border defense. I also agree with Geraldo, we will turn America into a snitching civilian police state. I don’t think you are a anti-immigrant radical.
