Geraldo Rivera’s at Fox News now (he’s been there for years, we think, but it never really registered until now), trackin’ down the hot stories. We think he was somewhat taken aback, though, in this clip where he “chases down” Blago in the parking lot of the view.
Normally Geraldo’s whole thing is to finds a public figure in a parking lot, or a restaurant, wherever, and spend 10 minutes shouting at that person for an interview while running with his cameraman — end of video. But here he simply knocks on the window of Blago’s car in the parking lot, and Blago’s TOO EXCITED and immediately gets out for a long interview. Now what kind of fun is that for Geraldo?
What is WITH America’s fascination with this vapid loser.
Oh, right.
Anyhow, kinda takes me back to the days when enthusiastic crowds were chanting for Milosevic to kill himself. Of course he should have taken the hint, but then he wound up in a cage at the Hague.
Does anyone remember when Geraldo was going to find Osama bin Laden?
Rod Blagojevich is the best thing to happen to politics in a while. I can’t wait until he takes the stand at his trial. He’ll probably show up in costume.
How does Gerry manage to blow so much smoke up his own ass with that giant flavor savor hanging out on his lip like a monster move caterpillar?
“I’ll buy you dinner!”
Haha, Geraldo never holds back.
I’m amazed that their combined egos didn’t achieve critical mass and sent us all hurtling back through time to the Dark Ages.
Geraldo: So Rahm Emanuel wanted you to sell the seat for like big bucks, under the authority of Barack Obama?
Rod: No
Geraldo: So Jesse Jackson wanted you to sell him the seat for some money or uh…
Rod: No
Geraldo: So you’re pretty much fuckin’ broke aren’t you?
Rod: He he, well…
Geraldo: Look I’ll come clean. I want to take you out to dinner.
Rod: Call me.
Maybe Geraldo thinks leprechaun Blaggie has Al Capone’s gold.
I think Bret Ratner just found the cast for Rush Hour 4: Chasin’ Democracy.
InsidiousTuna: Ha!
tunamelt: Now, I doubt he could find Joe the Plumber with Pajamas Media’s entire IT department to assist. More elusive than Capone’s secret stash.
The quantity of hair on those two guys must drive Biden crazy!
“Can I buy you dinner?”
Awww, Geraldo has a crush on Blaggo… they should get together and have a crazy wedding.
OMG! Fox News must hire Blago! Think of the comedy gold!
BitterPolitico:
G: Your hair has such body and luster!
B: Aw, no, yours is better — what conditioner do you use?
G: KY — wanna fuck?
I think they said Blaggy was gonna sell the Senate seat to the “highest builder”?
Seems like this was all a misunderstanding! Blaggy actually wanted to decide the Senate appointment with a Jenga competition! Odd, perhaps, but not illegal.
As the eons pass, Geraldo looks more and more like an old-timey soda jerk from a Norman Rockwell painting, dontcha think?
Want some Nilla Wafers with your Nee-Hi, sonny?
honkeyman: What is WITH America’s fascination with this vapid loser.
Um — which one of them are you talking about?
SayItWithWookies: JTP needs to get hisself a toupe, stat.
Min:
Haaaaaaaaaaa!
Somehow Blago, Geraldo & F. Noise are now linked to Drew Peterson by Six Degrees of Separation through some slimeball PR guy that represents serial killers. Wouldn’t cha just know it????????
tunamelt:
No, how did it end?
I haven’t watched FOX in a long time. This little dose reminded me why. Thanks, I think.
I seen Blago on Michigan Ave., with that suit on that Mel Brooks wore in Blazing Saddles. The one with GOV on the back.
Didn’t Jerry Rivers find Blago in Al Capone’s vault?
honkeyman: Which vapid loser are you referring to?
Prove it up! Since Geraldo would have done it, that makes it okay!
Monsieur Grumpe: I don’t know! And now it’s bugging me.
grevillea: J the P is little-league compared to those two. When The Plunger is just blathering on, he looks like he knows he’s full of crap. Geraldo and Blago both believe every damn thing they’re saying is of vital importance. My hope is that Joe can’t get over his own fraudulence, so we don’t have to worry about him too much longer.
tunamelt: I remember. Several New York taxi drivers lost their lives in Geraldo’s pursuit of justice.
Now… Does anybody remember when the Skinheads broke his fucking nose on teevee? I was about eight years old and I’ll never forget it because even at that tender age I could spot a dickhead.
rocktonsammy: Was he being chased by an angry lynch mob? Like the westerns?
Ahhh yes…. This brings back fond memories…

Hair vs. Hair
It’s so obvious those dudes are hotz for each others hair secrets.
http://playpenforaliberal.wordpress.com/2009/01/27/geraldo-rivera-and-rod-blagojevich-are-totally-doing-it/
Somebody needs to throw a chair at Blaggy’s face.
Monsieur Grumpe: Even Fox’s streaming/Youtube knock off sucks. No buffering, and those 2 sounds like robots when they speak. oh…
tunamelt: Hey, Geraldo would have caught bin Laden, except the guy refused to roll down the window on his limo. Not Geraldo’s fault that bin Laden was so crafty.
You know, even way back in the day, when I dated that gal in Red Bank, people used to talk about Geraldo like he’d been dead for years.
Synchronicity story of the day: I was just this afternoon watching some of the unedited Geraldo-Manson interviews via the youtubes, and… like, actually, Manson comes off better than Blago, in that he uses metaphysics to prove he didn’t do anything wrong, as opposed to Blag’s procedure and context arguments.
Which ain’t to say I don’t admire Blago’s seemingly amphetamine-inspired crazy, but: what he should really be doing is arguing Free Will, the distinction of self v. universe and self v. civilization. He should be trying to take down the whole thing, man.
Only way he’d win.
Blago on Rachel’s show: some of the fastest, most effective tap dancing I’ve ever seen.
hageesheart: Win. Blago and the much-neglected solipsism defense.
But you forgot self v. hair, a subject on which Geraldo has much to teach him, indeed, much to teach us all.
That’s an oxymoron, out-insaned by Blago. That’s like saying out-dumbed by Palin. Impossible!

FREE BLAGGY!!!!!1!11!!11 FREE HIM FEREVERZ.
BUT HE MUST FIGHT THE LION FIRST. EV’RY MAN DESERVES A FAIR TRIAL.
Watch out, ‘cos Blaggy is likely to go all Kosovo on Geraldo if he’s not careful.
Special Agent Jack Mehoff: honkeyman: Blaggy’s hair DOES look a lot like Milosevic’s.
Blago is a fucking psychopath. Paradoxically, he also has endearing qualities. But then, psychopaths can be very charming people.
Why hasn’t Wonkette run a post with the video of Blago running through the snow in a black jogging suit, with the lead, “Escaped Illinois Governor, Rod R. Blagojevich…”
So Blago parachutes himself into New York, and you still have to have an appointment and some media cred even to meet him in a parking lot. Fuckin’ Blago is golden, tellen you people. If he were worth any more money, he wouldn’t even be beggin’. Who in American politics can say that?
two fucking valuable americans !
Tommmcatt: I remember Norman Rockwell’s series on half-jewish half-puerto rican investigative-reporters-turned-soda-jerks, really some of his best work.
This clip isn’t nearly as good as the one that prosecutors will show in court tomorrow, where GERARDO is out-insaned by Blago.
You guys ever seen a rico suavé killing spree? No? WELL YOU WILL NOW.
Star-crossed lovers.
