Then and Now: Geraldo Rivera

It was sad to watch Geraldo Rivera last night on FOX News trashing the President. When Geraldo was starting out in the 1970s as a crusading reporting uncovering the atrocities at Staten Island's Willowbrook State School, Mr Obama might have suited his interests just fine.

This was a long time ago and plenty of silly things have transpired in his life in the interim. Who can forget his 1986 documentary on The Mysteries of Al Capone's Vault? Thankfully, most everybody can because nothing turned up on this live broadcast.

I don't recall if he posed for PlayGirl but there he is looking like a hunk next to the Astrology headline.

What won't people do for a buck these days? Geraldo had a start that most investigative reporters would have leveraged the rest of their lives to examine issues which might make a difference. Now he has expensive suits to pay for, 5 divorces to his credit, and five children to his name. Trash TV pays better than any expose' he might come across, and with his track record it doesn't take a Math expert to see he has bills to pay.
