"News is a flirty business." . . . Please come CAPTION Fox's Geraldo Rivera!!!

Geraldo (The mustache with its own timezone) Rivera is saying: "Just because I defended the ability of men to make a little pass at women in the workplace, doesn't at all mean that I think women are lining up to tell their stories about me. . . . Why would anyone think that?"

**************************************************************

Above CAPTION based on this bozo's tweeting in defense of Matt Lauer as noted in this story in Entertainment:

http://ew.com/tv/2017/11/29/fox-news-geraldo-rivera-sexual-harassment-tweets/

Here's the actual tweet:

Sad about @MLauer great guy, highly skilled & empathetic w guests & a real gentleman to my family & me. News is a flirty business & it seems like current epidemic of #SexHarassmentAllegations may be criminalizing courtship & conflating it w predation. What about #GarrisonKeillor?

8. To continue off your thought:

"As I said in the books, I have slept with over 1000 women, . . . and most of them actually did sleep after they stopped kicking and struggling."

4. Geraldo continues:

Last edited Thu Nov 30, 2017, 10:01 AM - Edit history (1)

"You see, One man might flirt with a phone call or a little gift, or by paying special attention, if you know what I mean, while another man might flirt by locking a women in his office and bending her over the sofa, or showing her how his immediate self-pleasure can be artfully accomplished, or a thousand other exciting things. . . . Telling someone else how to behave is like restricting free speech."

17. He suggested claims should be considered only for 5 years after the assault

Wanna bet Geraldo cleaned up his act about 5 years ago?

7. I think Geraldo will be meeting retirement very soon.

I thought he was a wildly sexist idiot 40 years ago.

11. Why the fuck should it be?

You should not "flirt". You should act like a fucking professional, which is not "flirty" in anyway.

I think this guy probably did a Matt Lauer or two.

This is the same spectacular moron who disclosed U.S. military plans on TV during the Iraq war, right?

15. One thing about Geraldo: He's consistent.

He's the same tone-deaf, showboating shit-for-brains he's always been. Why he still has a job in broadcasting is a mystery to me.
