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

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.

[springsm]

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.

[RallyRound]

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.

[jebamoni]

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!

[PacificGatePost]

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.

[clr2]

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.

[bobdevo]

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. . .

[Dannydel]

Exactly...You'll find Jerry Rivers (his real name), picture in any dictionary under 'sleazebag'.

[LeftLeaner]

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.

[Average]

Grealdo has always been and continues to be an IDIOT.

[Whitehouse]

I have just landed on earth and am reading this and can only conclude that it's time to leave. You folks are really strange, illiterate and missing chances to make the planet a better place. All I see is bitching and finger pointing and nobody tkes the time to offer a solution. OK, I'm outta here.

By the way, George W. Bush is the worst president to date. He's the talk of the solar system. You guys can do better than that.

[zendem1]

Next time you drop in, how about taking Cheney with you. He serves no good purpose on this planet. Thanks in advance.

"And Oprah as well please"

[Basho]

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?

[herronsmith]

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.

[UncleJimbo]

I would be surprised if Geraldo said anything sensible!

[truthyguy]

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

[Sumocat]

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.

[sebocd]

Yes, the back of the line, where the Man says "The last shall be first!". America, America, God mend thy every flaw.

[mediamarv]

Can you say " non-sequitor?"

How does he go from high priced call girl to illegal immigrant???

Wacko is the word of the day....
