I need to watch more Fox News Channel
Today JerseyGirl sent me this link to what may be the best cable news anchor bitch-fight in history. Basically, the gist of it is that Geraldo Rivera made his usual Thursday night appearance in the "no spin zone" to promote whatever kind of bullshit he'd be talking about on that weekend's episodes of "Geraldo At Large." O'Reilly decides to harp on about deporting some illegal immigrant who hit someone while he was DUI, and Geraldo goes ballistic.
If you don't have time to watch it, this is how it goes down:
0-1:14-Geraldo suggests O'Reilly wouldn't even be talking about it if it weren't for the fact that the drunk driver was an illegal alien, and accuses him of missing the point that this is a drunk driving story and not an immigration story. He holds O'Reilly at bay until he gets into a rant about the Minutemen patrolling the border being armed, when O'Reilly takes the opportunity to jump in with his bullshit opinion.
1:14-1:40-O'Reilly ticks off all the reasons he hates illegal immigrants and wants all foreigners deported for minor infractions like speeding tickets. "They have NO RIGHT to be here, no right at all!" he shouts.
1:40-1:50-Geraldo tells O'Reilly that this is bullshit.
1:50-2:00-O'Reilly brings up Geraldo's teenaged daughters, hoping he'll chime in about kicking out all the damn border hoppers once his childrens' safety is in question.
2:00-2:15-Geraldo informs O'Reilly saltily that he doesn't care who is driving drunk, but that his fear is of them being hit by a drunk driver. "It could be a Jewish drunk, it could be a Polish drunk, it could be an Irish drunk, it could be an Italian drunk! It DOESN'T MATTER!" The big G is starting to really lose patience with O'Reilly.
2:15-4:48-All hell breaks lose. O'Reilly and Geraldo are literally screaming at each other. Geraldo shouts "COOL YOUR JETS! It has nothing to do with illegal aliens, it has to do with DRUNK DRIVING! Don't obscure TRAGEDY to make a cheap political point!" while O'Reilly responds, "You're an ANARCHIST! You want OPEN BORDER ANARCHY!" There's a lot of yelling, emphatic finger-jabbing, and ultimately Geraldo implies that O'Reilly hates Latinos and declares his opinion a fucking sin! This is spectacular even for Fox News.
I can't really do it justice in writing, so you should just watch it. It's five minutes of highly entertaining grown men screaming at each other until veins pop out of their heads, and O'Reilly ultimately getting owned by Geraldo. In other words, it rules:
