(18,640 posts)I don't recall Ken Starr or Newt Gingrich battling it out with Geraldo Rivera to impeach Clinton. Not at all.
What's his angle anyway? Trump's never going to nominate someone with such a Mexican sounding name to a cabinet position.

(5,727 posts)...interviewing Godzilla.
No, seriously, I think it was on ABC or NBC way back in the late '70s. Geraldo was in a studio news desk mockup, and a simple loop of Godzilla just standing around facing camera was running on the monitor behind the desk. Geraldo would ask a stupid question (they do exist) and they would cut to another loop of Godzilla grunting or roaring, as if in response. That's some award-winnin' journalism there, I tell you what. Wish I could find video of it.

(115,828 posts)"Folks, I've got some bad news. We've been getting closer to starting an impeachment process. We've been winning in the courts; we'll get the witness testimony and the documents before long, and after Mueller's statement Nancy seemed to be changing her mind. But Geraldo Rivera has just tweeted this: "I tonight announce that if you want to impeach this president on these facts you'll have to come through me.""
The room goes silent, then there are scattered gasps and moans. "Oh, no!" someone said. "Not that!" someone else sighed.
"You all understand what this means, right?" Nadler continued. "It means impeachment is impossible. There's no way we can get through Geraldo. Impeachment is doomed. We might as well just forget the whole thing."
Without another word, they all shuffle despondently from the room. Someone is overheard to ask whether anyone wants to go out for pizza.
