Weekends at 10 p.m. ET • Geraldo is live from Martha's Vineyard with the latest on Hurricane Bill and the president's upcoming stay!

Noteworthy, not because this is the first time he’s said something this vile but because it’s not. He floated it to our favorite liberal in February during an interview on Fox News radio (and, sad to say, wasn’t called on it) and thought so highly of his bon mot that he recycled it for his new book. Either no one’s taken him aside to explain how disgusting it is or someone has taken him aside but he thinks it’s so important and righteous that he’s going to keep deploying it anyway. I don’t know which is worse. Bear in mind,...

The Boston Globe has a fawning Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous-ish profile of Fox News Channel’s Geraldo Rivera. In between musing about his favorite pair of soft Uggs (”I’ve worn these in Tora Bora and Somalia,” he says, admiring the suede slip-ons with the sheepskin lining. “They’re so comfortable. I love them.”), his “36-foot Hinckley powerboat,” and his massive estates (including “Seagate, the spectacular, 10-bedroom estate he bought several years ago with his fourth wife” and another “Kennedy-esque compound” with his current wife), he spews this: Rivera, who as a fledgling lawyer in the ’70s counseled the Puerto Rican...

ALAN COLMES, CO-HOST: Welcome to "Hannity & Colmes." I'm Alan Colmes. We get right to our top story tonight. Following the brutal slaying of three teenagers in Newark, New Jersey, the nation is focused on sanctuary cities or cities that have made it a policy not to report immigration violations to federal authorities. And just this week, presidential candidate Mitt Romney launched a radio ad criticizing the practice. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Immigration laws don't work if they're ignored. That's the problem with cities like Newark, San Francisco and New York City that adopt sanctuary policies. Sanctuary cities become...

I just saw Geraldo on The O'Reilly Factor refer to the 2nd Amendment as "loathsome". Please contact Fox News and demand that they not employ anyone who considers the Bill Of Rights as "loathsome".

Said he will go down as greatest civil right leader of the "late 20th century."

Geraldo Rivera, senior correspondent for Fox News, told a group of Hispanic journalists vigilantes had created "hysteria along the borders" and advised his colleagues not to "let your newsroom push you around on the issue of immigration." "Bust them on their hypocrisy," Rivera said at the annual awards gala of the National Association of Hispanic Journalists in Washington last week, according to a report by the Robert C. Maynard Institute of Journalism Education. Rivera, who served as honorary gala chairman of the event, announced from the hotel stage that he was donating $80,000 to NAHJ and $20,000 to Unity: Journalists...

Los Angeles Times' media critic Tim Rutten has long had a somewhat troubled relationship with reality (for just a few examples, see here, here, and here). He also has never been shy about letting his liberal political views get in the way of doing what he actually should be doing: Analyzing the media in a fair and objective way.However, his liberal slams on conservative media reached a new low in his weekly column, "It's hard to feel bad for Geraldo" (Sat. Sept. 17, 2005) (reg. req'd), which begins as follows (emphasis mine): "IT would be comforting to believe that Geraldo...

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...

Geraldo Rivera appeared on The O’Reilly Factor this evening to discuss a false story printed by The New York Times. Television journalist, Alessandra Stanley wrote the following snippet that is hidden at the bottom her the article: Some reporters helped stranded victims because no police officers or rescue workers were around. (Fox’s Geraldo Rivera did his rivals one better: yesterday, he nudged an Air Force rescue worker out of the way so his camera crew could tape him as he helped lift an older woman in a wheelchair to safety.) News reports alerted the world, and, it seems, an inattentive...

Whoraldo basically excused Mayor Nagin's non action when specifically called on the "2000 buses" question from Hannity. He than said "We need to come together" when he was losing the argument...

Senator John Kerry believes he lost the 2004 presidential election becuase of the video from Usama Bin Laden that surfaced just days before the November 2 election.

ROTFLMAO

While veteran reporter Peter Arnett wasted no time beginning his new career as a weekly newspaper commentator, it wasn't clear whether Geraldo Rivera has a future as a Fox News Channel correspondent in Iraq. Military officials accused Rivera of disclosing unauthorized information about military movements after a report Monday in which he squatted in the desert and outlined military movements in the dirt. The Pentagon said that Fox had agreed to remove Rivera from his posting with U.S troops in Iraq. With the 101st Airborne Division involved in fighting, Lt. Col. Dave LaPan said Wednesday he wasn't sure whether they...
