Well I’m quite sure that President Trump was very
much relieved to hear that old Jerry Rivers, aka Geraldo Rivera, has now
finally withdrawn his opposition to the building of a wall along our southern
border. It was Wednesday during an
appearance on Fox News Channel’s “The O’Reilly Factor,” that Rivers made the
announcement that he was officially withdrawing his opposition to a border
wall. Rivers, who has had more than a
few heated dust-ups on O’Reilly’s show during the past decade, or so,
especially on the issue of immigration, acknowledged that elections have
consequences, therefore he doesn’t oppose the wall, despite thinking it would
be a waste of money. Rivers said, “I’m
going to shock you. I am withdrawing my opposition to the wall.” And then proceeded to say, “No, listen,
elections have consequences. This was his signature issue, and if the people
want the wall, which I think is a waste of money.”
“Geraldo is down with the wall now,” O’Reilly
replied. “And you know, I think you should have a piece full wall … sponsored
by Geraldo. You could have your picture there.”
And it was in making it clear that he is far from an enthusiastic
supporter of the wall, Jerry was quick to throw in his little disclaimer
saying, “You’re going to have a $25-billion wall and a $25 ladder and the
ladder will triumph.” Any time I happen
to be watching Fox News, which is nowhere near as often as it used to be, and
someone sees fit to trot out Rivers for his take on whatever issue it is that’s
being discussed, I either hit the ‘mute button’ until he’s through talking, or
the ‘last channel’ button and wait five minutes before hitting it again. And it's not so much that I disagree with
him, which I typically do, it's just that he's such an egomaniac and
blowhard. He rarely if ever makes any
sense, and does little more than to spew the talking points of his leftist
buddies.
These days the only shows I find worth watching on
Fox are Hannity, although his ego does get in the way at times, and Tucker
Carlson's new show. Nothing else is
really worth my time. These days I’m not
sure who it is that I find the most annoying on the network: Old Jerry Rivers,
Juan Williams or, the newly returned, Bob Beckel. And since I can’t determine who bothers me
the most, I don’t watch any of them. And
can anyone ever remember when Jerry was ever taken seriously? And yet he’s a constant ‘contributor’ on Fox. Whenever I see him the first words that come
to mind are smarmy, sanctimonious, extremely creepy, hopelessly dumb, and
unwatchable. But enough about his good
qualities. No one cares about Jerry and the
truth is he was against Trump from the start.
Therefore his position on any issue, be it the wall, immigration in
general, abortion or anything else, should matter very little to any reasonably
intelligent person.
