Live Truth

David Weigel | September 10, 2007

Via HotAir, here's Geraldo Rivera filming a pointless location shot and getting interrupted by 9/11 Truth campaigners screaming slogans.

If the protestors (whose number included Alex Jones) have a point, Geraldo definitely bolstered it: The subjects he's trying to cover over their interruptions are aggressively dippy. They want Fox News to re-investigate 9/11, and he wants to sample delicious chocolate chip cookies cooked in the heated interior of an ordinary car. Ron Burgundy, eat your heart out.

Geraldo responds here; I was there when an InfoWars reporter crashed the GOP debate spin room, here.

Geraldo?! Geraldo?? You gotta be kidding me.

How is it he isn't unemployed by now for Zeus sake?

Warren,

Affirmative action.

Despite what anyone tells you, there is a douchebag quota at all the news networks.

Here's a simple thing that could be looked into:

Cut Geraldo some slack, after all the Iraq WMD hunt was as fruitful as Geraldo's Capone's vault show. Except the Geraldo special was only an hour or two long.

Do I support the nutbag Rivera, or the nutbag Jones? Oh the pain! The pain!

Brandybuck: It's a tough call...I'm going with Jones.

Dear mr "Truther"

Just because I don't believe your weak-ass, nutbag, tinfoil theories, doesn't mean I accept the government's theory as well, so quit asking "DO YOU ALWAYS BELIEVE WHAT BUSHCO SAYS!!!11!!1!!11".

...still wondering why the truthers get so much exposure on this blog...

I got it! I'll ridicule them both mercilessly! Let loose the Squirrels of War on BOTH their bags of nuts!

Geraldo reminds me of Tobias Fünke.

"""Let loose the Squirrels of War on BOTH their bags of nuts!"""

That would be Jerry Springer, lol.

Speaking of unemployed douch... journalists. Whatever happenned to Rita Cosby? I miss hearing her nails-on-a-chalkboard voice tell me the latest updates on the Natalie Hollaway case LIVE FROM ARUBA (!)

Fox has it's Geraldo and Sean Hannity, CNN has it's Lou Dobbs and Nancy Grace! Without Rita Cosby, MSNBC has some catching up to do.

Dave T, Rita Cosby has actually written a book about the death of Anna Nicole Simpson and lost a bunch of weight. I spotted her on O'Reilly pitching the book, which claims that ANS's rival baby daddies had a romantic tryst.

My suspicions are generally aroused when I see debunkings being flacked, such as Insty's interesting relationship with PM. That doesn't mean that there's a lizard face in the Tower1Cloud, but there certainly is a lot we haven't been told and which some are frantically trying to avoid being looked into.

Clearing up the video above would probably take a Reason contributor a few minutes to clear up: just call PM and ask for a statement. So, why don't they do that and be useful for a change?

Why am I not surprised that you'd also turn out to be a 9/11 truther, TLB? Is Michelle Malkin aware of that?

Great video. It was full of hotties. For me, my favorite portion was the 2:20-2:30 mark, where one blonde talked about the tremendous adrenalin rush she gets from anonymous sex, and another blonde is standing there in a tight white dress or skirt. It also ends strong, with the stacked girl who was nearly thrown off a plane for being too sexy.

I believe some famous guy in a mustache also appeared in the video. Tom Selleck, I think. And some people yelling in the background.

Great video. It was full of hotties.

I'll say. Clinical psychologist Victoria Zdrok is Playboy's Miss October 1994.

The only thing I gathered from that video was that a gal named Kyla was asked to change her outfit by a Southwest airlines flight attendent because Kyla dressed like a Hooters airline flight attendent.

This is 9/11, so I am deeply concerned about this.

hot blondes, Alex Jones... i love tuesday morning.

I had the unfortunate experience of running across a Truther last night. He was ranting about the Alex Jones "prank" on Rivera. He sincerely believed that a bunch of kids interrupting a broadcast by screaming and waving signs would change public perception their way. Idiot.

Those guys don't want the truth, they just want their beliefs validated. Being persecuted validates beliefs. It's a religious thing. So they go and deliberately get their leader arrested. Shit, I could get myself arrested in front of Geraldo too, but it wouldn't prove anything.
