Geraldo Rivera compares running for the NJ senate seat to Theoden's battle with the Orcs....

Radio and television personality Geraldo Rivera said Friday that he would not seek New Jersey's Senate seat in a special election to replace the late Sen. Frank Lautenberg (D-N.J.), despite earlier suggestions he might run.

In a Fox News Latino column, Rivera compares running against Newark Mayor Cory Booker to a battle in The Lord of the Rings books, saying the race would “be as one-sided as Théoden faced when leading his riders against Mordor.”

In the book, Théoden is overwhelmed by a massive enemy army — but Rivera says he finds solace in the fable.

"Because of his sacrifice, the good guys ultimately win,” Rivera said.

1. More like a battle between Corey Booker and a big mouthed douche nozzle with a molester 'stache. nt

2. Would that make his moustache "the precious"?

3. The delusionality of that entire metaphor is mindblowingly staggering

On second thought, Rivera should just dress up as Théoden and ride a horse around New Jersey.

At least THAT will be mildly amusing to see.
