9/11 changed Geraldo... also, I think he likes working in the field better, he's too physical to be bound to a desk.
I used to dislike Geraldo but these days I'm starting to appreciate him...he's great in the field. And yes, he displays a bounding enthusiasm in the field. Once he learned the limits, he started doing a marvelous job with our troops and you could see how much they liked him.
The other day he was reporting from a hurricane (which one???) and was bouncing and smiling from ear to ear.
I really do believe he (in the field) and Fox have been a good fit.
