Geraldo Rivera Has a Problem

He really, really doesn't like Michelle Malkin.

Found by way of -- you guessed it -- Michelle Malkin. It's mentioned elsewhere, also.

The article is a look at Rivera's privileged lifestyle, his favorite pair of Uggs which he wore in Tora Bora and Somalia (and where the people who actually live there have no chance of ever owning a pair), his boat. How nice for him. But at one point he says, ""If you treat people right, they'll treat you right."

Really?

Later he says this about Michelle Malkin, with whom he does not agree on some issues.

"Michelle Malkin is the most vile, hateful commentator I've ever met in my life," he says. "She actually believes that neighbors should start snitching out neighbors, and we should be deporting people.

"It's good she's in D.C. and I'm in New York," Rivera sneers. "I'd spit on her if I saw her."

Note he does not address the actual issue, which is illegal immigration (the operative word here being illegal). He does not refute her commentary with facts or logic. He does not attempt to counter her viewpoint at all.

He just threatens to spit on her.

What a twerp.

This comment was telling, I think:

"I know these waters intimately, and the sailing's as good here as anywhere on earth," Rivera says, gazing out over the bay. "The ocean's the most nonjudgmental place on earth, and that's what I love about it. If you're bad, you'll get hurt, but if you're good, it's a lot of fun. And I'm good."

Okay, he's not on the ocean. He's in a bay. A bay. Slightly more challenging than puttering around in your boat in the backyard swimming pool. The ocean is in fact not judgemental. But it'll still kill you. Not that he's ever tried the challenge of boating on the ocean.

Idiot.
