A minute late, and a dollar short.

I suppose he'll be cracking the secret of Saddam Hussein's vault any time now.

CNN is still reporting that the Pentagon is going to escort Geraldo back to Kuwait.

Yeah, something about a broken nose...

From the conflicting stories what i get is this:

1. Somebody wants him gone

2. He's not gone.

Hes not offically embedded with the military. If one unit did give him the boot, he probably tagged along with another that was under a different commander.

From http://www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/meast/03/31/sprj.irq.rivera/index.html

A U.S. Central Command official said, "He is being pulled. He just doesn't know it yet. He has not gotten the word."

I know that Geraldo Rivera can be a self aggrandizing egomaniac, but I must admit that he seems to be the closest to the edge compared to most other reporters.

I thought that he would have known better than to make that kind of thoughtless mistake.

I'm NOT seeing anything on Fox about this since this morning when they were yukking it up at the expense of MSNBC and CNN.

Idiot.

His credibility just went up in flames like a Scud Missile Launcher hit by Coalition Ordinance! Oh well, it looks like it's back to Kabul for Geraldo!

He was considered credible? In the last 10 years?

Now I am surprised!


EDIT:

This time he went OVER the edge. I actually saw that live report with the diagram in the sand and thought . . . hmmm, are the Iraqis watching?

The FOXNews spin should be pretty good for this one . . .

"Geraldo deposed by rival regimes from unfair, unbalanced, and inferior networks."

What do you expect them to say, that they idiots who hired an even larger idiot who un-intentionally gave away potential future troop movements? Christ, I'd be surprised if they even acknowledged it. They never did mention all the facts he got wrong in Afghanistan.

edit: I am a very bad speller.

 

[Spudd]

He called the reports "Rumors" set up by the "rats" over at MSNBC who "had to stoop so low" to get even with him. The anchor he was talking to was yukking it up as well. It's official that the CO of that unit and the Cent Com want him gone. FoxNews looks like a bunch of idiots now. ROFLMAO...too, too funny.

 

[Soldat]

yep...he's an idiot

 

[Spudd]

Now they're saying that he was asked to leave but is still in Iraq. LOL. I can just see him being "escorted" out of the country any minute now. MSNBC should send a crew to cover THAT one! Serious payback for the cheap shots he took at them. :Q

 

[michaelh20]

How about they give him a U.S. Flag and make him walk back to Kuwait?

I'm convinced the MSNBC is manned by the former staff of the "Berkley Barb"

I bet most of the posters here haven't a clue about the Berkley Barb.

 

[JellyBaby]

You'd think a veteran reporter like Geraldo, no virgin to war reporting either, would know better. He should have (Dr. Evil voice) *zipped it*.

Hell most of them are lucky to have any hair at all

Couldn't happen to a nicer grandstander.

Maybe ask the scouts of the 101st what they think about Jerry divulging their next objective, they would be the ones cut off and sliced and diced in the kill zone.

Geraldo and the word credibility in the same sentence?:Q:Q

Amazing, simply amazing.

 

[etech]

Some of those embeded reporters are just not that bright. I was watching one on MSNBC awhile ago. He clearly stated that he could not tell where he was or what unit he was traveling with. He then proceded to name the colonel of the unit he was with. It doen't seem that it would be all that difficult to tie a colonel together with a unit. Perhaps it was just a small slip but still it seemed rather dumb on his part.

 

[Kadarin]

Geraldo is not a reporter in the true sense of the word. He's a sensationalist and egotistical muckraker who thinks he's definitely all that and a bag of hand grenades.

 

[SickBeast]

I still think it's a bad idea to have all these media people "embedded" into military units. There is no upside to having them there.
