Geraldo's Sinking Ship Show

I just saw part of some special Geraldo did on the crashed cruise ship Costa Concordia. It was pretty good reporting. But in listening to Geraldo bash this captain for his blunderingly bad judgement, etc., I couldn't help but notice that this condemnation was coming from the same guy who had the bad judgment to draw a diagram in the sand of an imminent US military operation on a live news feed, giving away their position, and ruining the element of surprise. So a good show on this maritime disaster, but maybe the editorial stuff could remind us of things we're not supposed to remember? So perhaps a simple objective report of the facts would be a better course of action for Geraldo. But then again, he used to be a daytime scandal rag TV show host, so maybe he's not capable of repressing that habit.

One thing I will say, though, is this: Geraldo called this captain a coward, and it may be true, too; but there's one thing that's definitely, positively for sure: Geraldo Rivera is one brave Motherf#$%&! He's had his nose crushed by skinheads, and he's been shot at by both sides of this recent Libyan revolution, and that's a fact! In fact, anyone who saw his Fox News coverage of the Libyan rebel fighters knows he was under fire and almost left to die on the battlefield, and he never stopped reporting the whole time (!). He never even said: "Hey: where are you going?" (His producers said that, and most likely saved his life.) Plus, the whole time, he was saying that the rebels were completely incompetent with weapons, and the only people they were liable to kill were themselves, all within earshot of the rebels holding loaded weapons, and while they were being fired upon by Khadafi's troops (!!). So this guy knows about courage, that's all I can say! Judgment? Maybe not. But Geraldo is one tough guy, you'd better believe it!
