In this clip, aired four months ago, Geraldo scolds Bill O'Reilly for "stripping Obama of his majesty" during the Superbowl Sunday interview.

In passionately defending Obama's "majesty," Geraldo says it's because Obama "is a direct descendent of George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt and Dwight Eisenhower."
Perhaps Geraldo is too ignorant to know that in accordance with the Constitution, the founders deliberately decided against addressing President Washington as "Your Majesty" (along with other absurdly imperial titles), much to Washington's relief.
That's why Washington and all presidents since have been officially called "Mr. President."
But having just gotten through my sadness during the past July 4th week-end and after seeing D'Souza's America yesterday (which improved my mood somewhat), I just couldn't fail to vent about it now.
Geraldo has been an idiot for quite a long time
I couldn't agree more. But now he has earned the official title.
Ohhh, I think he cemented that status loooong ago.
He needs to be eliminated from Fox. I turn him off when he shows up. How he has hung on is a mystery to me.
Do we really need another Geraldo thread? He is a has been.
What does a brilliant guy like Roger Ailes see in Geraldo?
just now?
"This is an amazing discovery! We have found dirt! Actual dirt!"
George Washington had no children and therefore has no "direct descendants."
So now he is a certified Gold Medal Idiot?
I decided to post this thread after seeing another FR post wherein yet another lefty Obama supporter complained about the "disrespect" being shown to Obama nowadays.
> In passionately defending Obama’s “majesty,” Geraldo says it’s because Obama “is a direct descendent of George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt and Dwight Eisenhower.”
Geraldo forgot Marttin Luther King and Malcolm X, possibly Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny....
He’s a sentimental oaf.
Jerry Rivers is quite wearisome.
He must study hard long hours to be especially obtuse.
The part of his brain that is supposed to have logic and common sense must be as empty as Al Capone's vault!
My guess is that Geraldo got his information that quoted a Facebook entry made by Lincoln in the 1860’s...

He takes First Place AND First Runner Up in case he cannot serve in the office of First Place.
As time goes by, the more ridiculous he seems. Just sayin'....
Remember how Geraldo came to President Bush's aid when everyone in the media were disrespecting Bush's majesty?
...neither does anyone else.
My favorite title is “Mom”.
