O'Reilly And Geraldo's Screaming Match: "It's A Cheap Political Point -- And You Know It!"

Eat The Press:

It's officialBill O'Reilly has lost it. Tonight he got in a full-on shouting match with Geraldo Rivera over the tragic death of two teenaged girls by a drunk driver -- who happened to be an illegal alien. Apparently the driver had had a previous DUI, and O'Reilly had blamed the Mayor and the police chief for the fact that he had been permitted to walk, and then remain in the country to drink and drive again. Geraldo thought O'Reilly was missing the point -- his nationality wasn't the issue, the issue was that he was drunk, and sadly, drunk driving is not an issue of specific citizenship. Here's where O'Reilly went apoplectic, incredulous that Geraldo would dare side with the illegal immigrant: Smacking the table, he cried: "He doesn't have a right to be in this country!" "But that has nothing to do with the fact that he was drunk!" cried Geraldo, impassioned and mustachioed. "Yes it does!" shouted O'Reilly. "He should have been deported!" It was at this point that Geraldo told O'Reilly to "cool your jets" -- and that's when the real fighting began:

Geraldo: Cool your jets, it has nothing to do with illegal aliens! It has to do with drunk driving!
O'Reilly: It doesn't!
Geraldo: Don't obscure a tragedy to make a cheap political point!
O'Reilly: If I'm the father...
Geraldo: It's a cheap political point -- and you know it!
O'Reilly: No it isnt! This is justice!
Geraldo: This has nothing to do with that mayor!
O'Reilly: You want anarchy!
Geraldo: No!
O'Reilly: You want open-border anarchy!
