Geraldo Rivera Being Pulled From Front Lines

03-31-2003, 04:55 PM

for violating military security when he announced the position of the troops he is with as well as where they are going last night/this morning. As of now he is still in Iraq but is expected to have a military escort out of the country by morning.

You think he would have learned LOL.

ROFL!

from the article:
Rivera has suggested he would try to kill al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden if they ever met face to face.

I can picture Geraldo with one foot mounted majestically on the carcass of bin Laden as if he is some Indian tiger shot during a safari..

MSNBC and NBC have been reported this as well, but around noon, Geraldo rejected the story (and spewed quite a few rough comments towards NBC and MSNBC) while reporting from Iraq for Fox while still embedded with US troops. Fox also seemed to be rejecting the story, but MSNBC continued to report throughout the day that the US military was booting Rivera.

Better yet...

Can't you just picture his upcoming TV special, "Gerald Rivera: Opening Saddam's Vault". [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

We'll see. I was up in the wee hours of this morning and saw Geraldo's report and wondered WTF he was doing, but it's not my call in the long run.

Djinn Raffo,
LMAO, same here...same here.

MSNBC continues to report he's been asked to leave by the Pentagon. Apparently, he is with the 101st Airborne, but he is NOT officially embedded with those troops.

The footage MSNBC showed, shows Geraldo making a diagram in the sand (they digitally disguised his directions), and him explaining the movements of coalition troops in relation to Baghdad.

Yup, and this morning on FOX, those directions weren't digitally disguised.

I didn't hear anything official on ABC's evening news cast but CNN repeated their story that Pentagon officials have ordered him removed...FOX still says they nor Geraldo have been notified of anything.

Someone dumb enough to go to those lengths deserves... well, deserves to have a chair break his nose.

Seriously, I'm sure they told the rules to these guys. A map? Gawd.
