Can’t Be Serious.

Via Instapundit, this from Salon:

Geraldo Rivera
arrives in a Fox News truck. An elderly woman with blond hair grips his
elbow. She’s wearing thick dark glasses and a pink shirt. He carries
her small white dog in his arms. He’s wearing thigh-high waders
unzipped to below his knees. We shake hands. "Her relative called one
of our stations," Geraldo tells me, explaining how that call went to
another station, and then another, and finally to him.

The woman had been
stranded in her home for six days. Geraldo picked up the woman and her
dog and brought them here. The woman looks frail on his arm, though not
as bad perhaps as a lady collapsed on a chair nearby, unable to move.
Or a woman in a wheelchair being lifted from the truck, carrying her
prosthetic leg on her lap.

"That’s the second time he brought her here," one of the doctors tells me, nodding toward Geraldo.

"What?"

"They did two
takes. Geraldo made that poor woman walk from the Fox News van to the
heliport twice. Both times carrying her dog."

"Are you serious?" I ask. He says he is.

    I can’t think why, but Geraldo always reminds me of Jason King from the 70’s show Department S.
    Jason King was also a superficial egotist. Maybe they are one and the same.

  2. The famous photos of General MacArthur wading ashore in the Philippines are rumored to be of his second take at wading ashore.

  3. Tim,
    I am getting funding: I’m serious. I would like your opinions here.
    Or your resignation, although I’d rather you contributed.

  4. Mr. Rivera’s continued career is a strong argument against the existence of American civilisation. I mean, his first big story was “finding Al Capone’s vault” that turned out to contain an empty gin bottle.

  5. Matthew Parris once wrote an article pointing out that everything on TV is a lie. Always. Can anyone find a link to it?

  6. Fact: Geraldo is the cheesiest man on the planet.

  7. Did anyone see him posing with the CO of the 82nd airborne and making out they were old wartime buddies? Gerry Rivers (his real name) seems to forget he was unceremoniously booted out of the front lines in Iraq for drawing a diagram of a forthcoming operation in the sand of live TV. What a Dickhead.
