He’s a butt munch, for sure. Still, without even getting into the assholery of Novak or O’Reilly, I don’t find him any more detestable than Barbara Walters, or John Stossel, or Maury and Connie, or … ---

[QUOTE=myrnajean] Cookie crumbs? dried soup? Weapons of Mass Distruction? :eek: [/QUOTE] If the story about the affair with Mick Jagger is true (see upthread), I’d say it’s more likely his mustache is concealing a Weapon of **Ass** Destruction. 😛 ---

[QUOTE=Diogenes the Cynic] Remember when he was drawing diagrams in the sand to illustrate US troops positions? [/QUOTE] Yeah, that’s why I was wondering why he wasn’t summarily shot by an officer.

This thread is turning out to be much funnier than I ever anticipated! Thanks, everyone. I haven’t heard back yet from Geraldo’s handlers about the ratio of fan mail to hate mail. ---
