Geraldo Struggles to Be Relevant, Intelligent
I accidentally watched a couple of minutes of Geraldo At Large today, which included a vintage clip of Geraldo running with the bulls in Spain. During the report, Geraldo explained that the smart thing to do after the first day of running with the bulls would have been to go home. But, Geraldo said gravely,
"...pride foreclosed that option."
Really? It did? Did arrogance mortgage your ability to write a sentence that doesn't make my ears vomit blood?
What I also got from this episode is that Geraldo used to hang out with "The Beatles," a band that was apparently very important, according to Geraldo. Really, Geraldo? You don't say...What a newsman.

Geraldo is one of those rare celebrities who, while roundly ridiculed, is not made fun of enough. He is literally the worst. I went to see A Scanner Darkly the other day, and there was a preview for The U.S. Versus John Lennon, and the first talking head was Geraldo. There was, of course, audible laughter in the theater. I think that's kind of a risky move for the filmmakers, because it's really hard to wash the stink of Geraldo off of an enterprise that you ostensibly want to appear credible.
