Geraldo Rivera, we’ve commented on, many times, here. Suffice it to say he’s not the most popular person, here.  Similarly, Bill O’Reilly.  As for the combination, I’ve always considered that there wasn’t a half a human between them. 

By way of Memorandum, I see a New York Times article from Richard Perez-Pena:

 (“If you like oral sex, vote Caragol for council.”) Just some political slogan in Hialeah, Florida, which the Miami Herald informs

Shocking news from Two Thousand, the New York Times admits, kind of, sort of, that Al Gore lost Florida:

WASHINGTON, Oct. 12 — Al Gore‘s seven-year journey from loser to laureate began in bitterness, settled for a time into

O, yes, good old Libby. She is once again showing her concern for her fellow man.  (think about it)

I swear I’m worried about McQ. I’ve always thought of him as a sort of rational voice for his side of
