NYDN: Geraldo to quit Fox News if Ailes hires Lou Dobbs?

Geraldo Rivera has told Fox News honcho Roger Ailes he'll quit if Ailes hires Lou Dobbs, according to a well-placed source. Rivera, who has blasted the nativist Dobbs for his "slander" against Latinos, tells us, "I never threatened to quit." But he did let Ailes know he wouldn't welcome working with the man who has called him a "cowardly liar." Says Geraldo: "The last time I checked, no one here was talking to the a-—." Still, Ailes is said to be considering Dobbs for the Fox Business Channel. "The trouble is Dobbs wants too much money – like $8 million a year," says an insider. "But Dobbs doesn't have much leverage. Since he quit CNN, he can't go to CNBC." Hiring him at Fox Business is bound to irk that channel's Dobbs-phobes, John Stossel and Stuart Varney. But a rep for Ailes insists he isn't eyeing Dobbs for anything.

Sayonara, Geraldo, you commie freak. Don't let the door hit you in the A$$ on the way out....

[jpl]

Please hire him now Roger!

[Ghost of Philip Marlowe]

Don’t let the door hit you in the ass, Whorealdo.

Or would that be “asso” depending on how hispanic you’re feeling?

[1rudeboy]

Someone should tell Geraldo that Dobbs came out of the closet, and favors amnesty.

[DManA]

They should fire Whoraldo on the grounds of insubordination. The on air “talent” doesn’t get to veto hiring decisions.

[DManA]

Does he? Support amnesty?

[ROCKLOBSTER]

Hey Rivers!

Hasta la vista...beotch!

[bgill]

Don’t let the door hit you on the way out, Jer.

[DrNo]

Lose Geraldo?!

Lose Geraldo?!

Lose Geraldo?!

Yeah, but whats the downside?

[nhwingut]

This guy is such a greasy slimeball.

[izzatzo]

Either works for me-what an a-hole he is.

[bmwcyle]

Hire HIM!!!

[1rudeboy]

Dobbs Says He Now Backs Amnesty.

[chopperman]

I smell a win-win situation.

[spectre]

Dear Lou Dobbs,
PLEASE accept any salary Fox News offers you so that Geraldo will QUIT! Be a real hero and send that liberal POS back to CNN hell!

[DManA]

Goes to show, never get too attached to these guys.

[1rudeboy]

There is a lesson to be learned, definitely.

[LottieDah]

What great news...Buh bye Whorealdo!

[KeyLargo]

U.S. military officials told CNN on Monday morning that Rivera violated the cardinal rule of war reporting by giving away crucial details of military plans during a Fox News Channel broadcast from Iraq, where the reporter was temporarily assigned to the Army's 101st Airborne Division.

[bray]

Don’t let the Chair hit ya...

Mary Christmas!

[anniegetyourgun]

Do it.

[theDentist]

File this under “Big Frikkin’ Deal”

[dfwgator]

"Do I even need to say it?"

[oh8eleven]

Don't let the door hit you in the A$$ on the way out....
And take that "Independent" BOR with you too.

[cripplecreek]

LOL

[pfflier]

I fail to see a downside to that.

[abb]

Very few times in life is one offered a “can’t lose” deal. This is one, and a two-fer at that!

[Doogle]

Jerryaldo...don’t let the door hit you in the _$$

[gov_bean_ counter]

Go Roger, go Roger, go Roger...

[70th Division]

Whoraldo is all mouth. He will never quit. He likes the beating he takes from Ann Coulter.

[bcsco]

I really don’t care whether Dobbs joins Fox or not. He’s not a conservative as some may think. But if it causes Geraldo to leave Fox, then go for it Lou...

[castlegreyskull]

I can’t understand why any network would want Geraldo. Here is my favorite Geraldo moment. http://www.videosift.com/video/Geraldo-Skinheads-Part-4-Geraldos-Nose-Broken-by-Chair

[DogBarkTree]

Dear Mr Ailes
I think I speak for many people here when I say the only time I watched CNN was to watch Lou Dobbs and the only time I refuse to watch Fox is when Geraldo is on the screen.

[catfish1957]

Back in the old days they used to call this a golden opportunity. Don’t let the door hit your ass on the way out.

[Attention Surplus Disorder]

And the downside to this is....?

[headstamp 2]

By Gerry!

Absolute cornball you are.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Geraldo will likely cruise on into perky Katy's chair within a few months. Fake but Accurate is his middle name.

[EnglishOnly]

Welcome aboard LOU!

Don’t go away mad “Whore-all-do!”

Just GO A-WHA-WHA-WHA!

[manonCANAL]

Please hire Lou Dobbs I can’t stand geraldo or oreilly or
shep smith

[SmokingJoe]

BUH BYE WHOREraldo.
Don't let the door hit ya on your way out.

[Harley]

Good bye and good luck Retardo. Maybe MSNBC has some work for you. What does your brother Craig think about this? You two seemed to be attached at the hip.

[PGR88]

That’s a fair trade. I’d even throw in a 2nd or 3rd round pick in next year’s draft.

[Hawthorn]

>> Dobbs came out of the closet, and favors amnesty <<

Dobbs is clearly a liberal, at least on certain issues. He wants to protect a woman’s right to abort, and he believes human-caused global warming is a big problem.

But:

Like the large group of old-time leftists in the “zero population growth” movement, Dobb is very much opposed to immigration. As a result, it seems that a bunch of FReepers have fallen for his line and take him to be some kind of movement conservative. Yet in reality, he’s nothing of the sort.

Therefore I’d say to the pro-Dobbs types on this thread, Be very careful of what you wish for.

[pnh102]

I’d like this idea better if Geraldo threatens to run for president if FOX News hires Lou Dobbs.

[PSYCHO-FREEP]

Wonderful news!

DO IT! Then MSLSD can hire the Marxist to rant along with Her Olberman and Chrissy Tingle.

[Comparative Advantage]

Please hire Dobbs, if only to force Rivers to leave. That slimeball makes me turn the channel. He oozes with sleeze.

[PapaBear3625]

Geraldo Rivera has told Fox News honcho Roger Ailes he'll quit if Ailes hires Lou Dobbs,

A vast improvement in the FOX lineup.

[MinuteGal]

On another thread, Lou is quoted second-handedly as being in favor of amnesty....a complete turnabout.

Posters on the thread are asking for a verifiction of the quote.
