"Fox & Friends" Hosts Reject Geraldo's Schwarzenegger Steroids Joke

This morning on "Fox & Friends," Geraldo Rivera made a joke about bodybuilder-turned actor-turned Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, who F&F co-host Brian Kilmeade recently interviewed. Kilmeade boasted that he was actually stronger than Schwarzenegger, prompting Geraldo to ask, "Cause he's off steroids?" Someone let out a "Whoa!" and the newsroom fell into an awkward silence.

First rule: NEVER LEAVE THE PLAYBOOK!!!

That was the awkward silence of people in abject fear. Watch any old Nazi movie and the same silence appears when someone misspeaks and everyone checks themselves to see if they are gonna go down with the dead man walking. The only thing missing were the close-ups with sweat running down faces.

But look at Kilmeade's face-- humorless, forced into a blank state that says... "Hey look, I'm not with him. I'm part of the program! Don't send me away too!"

The all had: Guilt By Association Terror.

Arnold started using steroids in Montreal, which was where he trained when he first came to North America, and I know this for a fact because I know the guy who worked for Bernie Cornfeld who purchased them for him. Cornfeld did this because Arnold was the partyboy at his parties for NY bigwigs who flew up for them.

Well it is a big deal when he was also a member of the President's Commitee on Physical Fitness under Reagan. The only pre-gubernatorial political experience he had. Juicing is a reality but parading around like youre the paragon of a healthy athletic lifestyle just to get your foot in the door of politics is this side of hypocritical.

But then again, it's a bit like Elvis Presley getting appointed an anti-drug post under Nixon. It kinda shows you how out of touch with reality most Republican presidents tend to be.

The dumb assumption that you make is that being hypocritical or out of touch is uniquely republican.

From the clips I've seen, the only people dumber than the tools on Fox & Friends must be the people who tune in.

It's not a joke. Anybody in the bodybuilding community around when Arnold was big knows he was juicing. The truth hurts the left as usual!!

I hope to introduce that fat face Sean to my my right hand one of these days.

One of the worst kept secrets in Atlanta is that Hannity is as gay as a Jack Rabbit.

Not a fan of Geraldo but he is out of place on Fox News. Doesn't he know that?

Fox new, "fair and balanced". Yeah, and I will be your next President.

""Cause he's off steroids?" Someone let out a "Whoa!" and the newsroom fell into an awkward silence."

And if the 'he' had been BHO they would have let out whoops of laughter. Even though it doesn't make any damn sense whatsoever. Pigs in suits.
