Geraldo Wouldn\'t Be Surprised If Spitzer\'s Hooker

Geraldo Wouldn't Be Surprised If Spitzer's Hooker "Turns Out To Be An Illegal On Lou Dobbs' Show"

Huffington Post   |   March 12, 2008 08:40 AM



Earlier this month, Geraldo Rivera told the ladies of "The View" that he wouldn't shake the hand of the "shameful" "hate-monger" Lou Dobbs. Last night on "The Colbert Report," he accused the far right of scapegoating illegal immigrants and said, "I wouldn't be surprised if Eliot Spitzer's hooker turns out to be an illegal on Lou Dobbs' show."

Colbert also questioned Geraldo about his book, His Panic, why he keeps the mustache, and previous disparaging comments Geraldo has made against Comedy Central.

Dobbs is right on this issue. Only in America could a man or women come into this country and stay w/o repercussions. Try doing that in Paris. Or Perhaps Canada. Won't happen. I suppose a lot of you people don't live in the southwest. B.c if you did you would'nt be saying idiotic crap.

Geraldo must be having a slow work year. He is trying to re-invent himself as the lonely illegal immigrant. This tweedle dee will do and say almost anything to get attention. Lou Dobbs, on the other hand has been over the top with his hate rant...unfortunately, because he really does have some good stats. However, he nearly spits when he starts lambasting them. Loses credibility...something ole Gerry does NOT have anyway.

Lou Dobbs seems unbalanced. And he's looking and sounding like Joe McCarthy. What's happened to CNN? I've turned off the station unless I see Gergen.

LOU DOBBS IS HITLER-INCARNATE. ANOTHER HATE-MONGER IS GLENN BECK.
A MONTH AGO HE WAS COMPLAINING THAT HE WAS IGNORED IN THE EMERGENCY ROOM
AND HE WAS CRYING IN PAIN. I CONGRADULATE THE EMERGENCY ROOM STAFF FOR ACTING
RESPONSIBLY. THESE TWO GUYS SHOULD BE SHUNNED AWAY FROM PUBLIC. THEY ARE
NON-ENTITIES.

Lou isn't a racist. He is the only one telling the truth about ILLEGAL ALIENS. We need to secure our borders, deport all ILLEGAL ALIENS, heavily fine those who hire ILLEGALS, and return to the original intent of the 14th amendment and do away with anchor babies. Keep up the great work Lou!

Having stimulated belief in visions of an end to corruption, Spitzer enjoyed a historic victory, riding a wave of hope into the Governor"s office. Now we have America shouting, "say it ain"t so, Joe," all over again. .

Say what you like about Geraldo--and I will say plenty that's bad--but he's right about Lou Dobbs, the demagogic, blowhardian, worthless piece of self-satisfied shit.

I like and respect how Geraldo is standing up to LD. More journalists ought to follow suit.

favoriteFavorite Flag as abusive Posted 04:52 PM on 03/12/2008

Lou is the only one standing up for us. Our country is being overrun with ILLEGAL ALIENS. We spend BILLIONS to provide an education and health care for people who don't belong here. We need to use this money on our own citizens. More journalists should be reporting about the MILLIONS of ILLEGAL ALIENS in our country and what is happening to our educational and health care systems because of them being in our here.

I wouldn't be surprised if the hooker turns out to be Geraldo's mother, sister or daughter. Rivera is definitely a media whore . . . and birds of a feather. . .

I am certain if Geraldo weren't of Hispanic origin he wouldn't be so clouded in his judgment towards ILLEGAL ALIENS who are rapidly begining to destroy the infrastructure of this country.

Geraldo has a big mouth, is a publicity hound, and not the brightest guy around, but I do agree with him in his opinion of that pompous wind bag Lou Dobbs, I also "wouldn't shake the hand of the "shameful" "hate-monger" Lou Dobbs". He constantly inflames prejudices by running sensational stories, but only offers his moral indignation, not solutions. Identifying problems is easy, solving them in a democracy can be hard because of various conflicting interests. And now I hear this blowhard has his own radio show. Doesn't he ever stop talking?

favoriteFavorite Flag as abusive Posted 02:08 PM on 03/12/2008

Take the time t read his book. Everybody here wants to complain too. It's what we do. It's why "Whitehouse" is leaving the planet.
Geraldo is a hack and no, I doubt as long as someone throws money his way, he will talk all the way to the bank. When did he become so righty-tighty?
Prostitution should be legalized. Thought I should add that.

Judging from the comment, apparently Jerry Rivers doesn't think he is getting enough publicity.

favoriteFavorite Flag as abusive Posted 01:58 PM on 03/12/2008

Apparently "truthy" means you believe things that sound true but really aren't: The Jerry Rivers thing is an urban myth. True, "Gerald" is his given name, but his father's side of his family refers to him as "Geraldo" and his family name is Rivera.

Seeing Geraldo is always a good reminder that assinine tools come in all races, creeds, colors and political persuasions. That's what makes America great. But like Lou Dobbs, I believe that all of our assine tools should be here legally. Those who aren't should go to the back of the line.

That has to be one of the most unintelligent comments Geraldo has made and he's made THOUSANDS OF THEM.

In fact it doesn't even make sense if you think about it.

Poor Geraldo, once upon a time he was actually respected (A lonnnng time ago) but how he's floundering around like a fish out of water and unable to think clearly; which he hasn't been able to do for a good decade now.

And I have to agree, why does every who hates Lou seem to put ILLEGAL aliens into the same category as ILLEGAL aliens?

Go Lou!!

Yeah that wasn't proof read and I usually try to. ILLEGAL vs LEGAL.

My bad. But hey, it's the internet and Huffpost doesn't allow you to correct yourself.

favoriteFavorite Flag as abusive Posted 11:34 PM on 03/12/2008

So I guess you wouldn't mind increasing the immigration quota so that all the Mexicans who want to come here could do it legally? After all, it's just about the illegality - right?

< sound of crickets chirping >

favoriteFavorite Flag as abusive Posted 02:22 PM on 03/12/2008

No. It's not "JUST about the illegality" though law-abiding vs. law-breaking is a large factor. It's a security/military issue as well. The laws including the quotas are there as a protection for the country. If the laws are thrown out and the quotas are dropped; anybody and everybody wanting to invade or overthrow the U.S. could simply come on in, organize and attack.

And before anyone starts screaming "RACIST!" or "XENOPHOBE!", get over yourself. There is NOTHING bigoted or xenophobic about wanting fair and controlled immigration. Immigrants help build this country and the U.S. is all the better for it. Perhaps the answer is to reopen Ellis Island and have a centralized port-of-entry for immigrants. Who knows? What I do know is that turning a blind eye as millions of illegal aliens enter our country and then giving them all amnesty every few years, isn't working.

Invade us, isn't that a little over the top?

Yes, immigration needs to be controlled but you're throwing in the fear card right away. And you don't let everybody in, sure.

Invade us? Like : create the Caliphate?

Heaven!!

Try to get into any other country illegally. And if you do, let us know if they offer you a drivers license and let use their emergency rooms. The people who run this country are pathetic and clueless. As I write this, anyone, can be crossing over from Mexico, including Al Quaida members. Great job Brownie...or whoever is in charge. Time to get serious and put Sheriff Joe Arpaio in charge of border security............

Why do people like Geraldo Rivera continue bunch illegal aliens and those who have played by the rules and immigrated here legally into the same category. That's wrong and insult to them.I agree with Lou Dobbs about illegal aliens,we have immigration laws that should be applied to all equally.Geraldo is using this issue to fatten his checkbook.Shame on him.

favoriteFavorite Flag as abusive Posted 01:00 PM on 03/12/2008

BINGO!!

I think the same thing. Why would those supposedly speaking out on behalf of immigrants continually lump them together with illegal aliens? They are two totally different groups. Immigrants came to this country legally and within the law. Illegal aliens intentionally break the laws but don't want to be held accountable for their actions. It's very clear.
