Geraldo Rivera brutally raped

I can hardly bear to repeat the horrific details. My heart goes out to him, I do hope that he's in counseling. Here's the report but I must warn you it makes grim reading.

I was raped by the TSA says Geraldo Rivera.

Horribile dictu, (horrid to relate), it seems that a TSA guy brushed up against his junk!

How courageous of Rivera to appear on Fox and Friends and talk about his rape. An example to women everywhere!

In the words of an old British newspaper editor, pass the sick bag, Alice!

The war on terror, thousands dead, millions displaced, trillions spent, millions of hours of peoples time wasted, little old ladies molestered left and right...

If it all was just so that this could eventually happen it was worth it.

When the TSA and Geraldo Rivera are on opposite sides of an argument, how the hell do you pick who the biggest douchebag is?

"Manually raped"? Hell, thats gotta be better than "automagically raped" by that african american guy who looks like he should be in a mental institution for being not quite right who is wearing a motorcycle helmet while "bzzzzting" the whole time.

Bzzztttt. Automagically done. Thank you Mr. Rivera.

On closer reading, Geraldo was dressed with his trademark silk scarf, leopard print vest, and fishnet stockings.

No TSA agent could resist fondling someone like that.

Infowars is a weirdo right wing conspiracy theorist radio show. Put it this way: the Birther nonsense is about the most mainstream stuff you'll see there.

At least the TSA didn't force Geraldo to remove his soiled diaper.

In a related story, the TSA guy is in isolation in a hospital being observed for advanced cootie poisoning.

They could have legally given him a cavity search according to the US Supreme Court. I feel safer knowing that Geraldo isn't carrying anything explosive up his butt, but the diarrhea that comes out his mouth is a danger to the national discourse.

"Exploring The Mysteries of Geraldo Revira's Vault" would be a great euphemism for an anal search.

Yeah, I know Geraldo is a poor excuse for a human being but really, if someone wants to probe my cavities so I can get on a plane, well, I'll take the bus.

Even if Geraldo is sitting next to you on that bus? Put that scenario in your pipe and smoke it.

Yeah, with the way he was dressed, he was basically asking for it.

I wouldn't tie down Alex Jones to being right wing. He hasn't met a conspiracy theory he doesn't like regardless of the source. George Bush was building FEMA concentration camps for example.

Well, if you actually listen to the video, he seems to be using the term rather sarcastically. It was definitely a poor choice of words, but it looks worse in print than if you listen to him describe the incident. He's an attention whore, though, so I'm sure he loves to have his little victim story to tell, one-upping the toddler as it were.

I thought it odd that Rivera's suggested remedy was to privatize TSA.

As though it was Obama personally who wanted to rape him, but Rivera would be safe in the hands of Donald Trump or Blackwater Thugs, Inc.

Back when I lived in NYC, I sometimes saw Geraldo Rivera jogging in my neighborhood. From the looks of things, he never took any steps to protect his junk.

NO, it's more like:

Ease up on the gas.
Engage the clutch.
Rape.
Let out the clutch while stepping on the gas.

And I think this is one case where every doper could agree that 3D and surround sound would automatically be a positive addition to this viewing pleasure.

C’mon, everybody. Isn’t this a pretty big case of ignoring the extremely obvious? I mean, admit it – - if you gave Geraldo a Viagra, he’d get taller.
