Wow, FOX/CNN live coverage of the Iraq election is pathetic.

[kuozzman]

Geraldo just compared the election to the Berlin Wall coming down and the 60s civil rights movement. He's ignoring the blasts that have already occurred and spitting out propaganda faster than anyone I've ever seen! You should really tune in, it's rather entertaining.

[kuozzman]

1. They've got CHALABI on the phone now! nt

[diamond14]

4. chalabi LEFT Iraq before the airport closed....he's no fool, and

has a LOT of experience in inciting violence....chalabi KNOWS that HE has to leave before they close the airport...

wonder where he's really calling from.....

[Bozita]

7. Is Ms. Miller there too?

Judith, where are you?

We need you for the upcoming war in Iran.

[LostInAnomie]

9. Isn't he supposed to be in jail or something?

eom

[proud2BlibKansan]

2. Geraldo is a twit

I can't stand watching him anymore. No surprise that he's fucking up this story.

[DrWeird]

3. Geraldo's mixing up cement walls coming down.

It's easy to see how he's confused.

[TrueAmerican]

11. You mean the walls

to Al Capone's Vault? LOL

[Placebo]

5. But Freedom™ is on the march!

It's spreading like a glorious sunrise. Free nations, free people, free elections. How can anyone say the world would be better with Saddam in power? God™ Bless America, and God™ Bless Our Troops.

[lebkuchen]

8. How's the voting in Fallujah going?

Any 1st Marine division hooplas there?

[Dagaz]

20. Yes how can anyone not agree?

Let's cheer for the voters not the bombers.

[LynnTheDem]

30. Yes cheer for the voters who are voting for unknown candidates of unknown

party platforms under martial law under occupation by a foreign army!

WE would vote, if say China invaded us and occupied us and killed off 1 million Americans (equivalent of # we've killed in Iraq) and under martial law and occupation of a foreign Chinese army forced elections on us to pick unknown candidates with unknown party platforms who will pick a group to write a US Constitution and next year pick another group to select a US President and executive staff!

rotfl!

[lebkuchen]

6. I just saw an MSNBC video file of more of the same

BTW, has MSNBC taken on a Fox Format? I was looking for the FOX label in the corner. It's been awhile since I've watched MSNBC, and it has since acquired even more of a tabloid look and sound.

The videofile before the above mentioned did say that only one Iraqi civilian in a city (Ramadi) of half a million had voted.

HUGE success. HUGE!

[Clark2008]

21. You were watching Joe Scarred-borrow (from Fox)

I hear Keith Olbermann supposed to cover some of this, although I don't know when. It should be a much better format when the Faux-pretender isn't there anymore.

[lebkuchen]

23. Scarborough--don't know him, guess that's obvious

Thanks for the heads-up. I will avoid MSNBC in the future, as far as learning anything goes.

[PATRICK]

24. One vote?

That means even the poll workers are too scared to cast ballots? By the way, how many Iraqis want their picture on camera in any fashion whatsoever unless they are disguised American troops parading in front.
You would expect the media locations to be completely deserted by any prospective voters.

[Downtown Hound]

10. Hey Geraldo

I understand you had some surgical procedure done where they sucked fat out of your ass and stuck it in your forehead. Well, I guess that just made you physically what everyone already knew you were, a true butthead.

[Halliburton]

12. MSNBC can't be much better, last I checked Scarface was on!

He was talking about how great a day it was for Iraqi's and now Bush can claim victory. He was bragging about how there were not attacks even though the polls were only open for twenty minutes. He said the insurgents failed, what you'd expect from the corporate media.

[Check12]

13. What about Al Capones Vault?

Geraldo's biggest moment in history.

[Oreo]

14. Geraldo: "it is the dawn of freedom"

ACKKK!!!!

Queue lame ass no-name singer commercial

[alcuno]

16. Geraldo says turnout is "unbelievable."

I don't know if I believe him.

[Laurab]

25. Maybe he meant

unbelievably low?

[DougieZero]

15. Geraldo... simply amazing

I have to give Geraldo credit... He is pathetic but also charming. He is spitting about these silly quotes. Very epic stuff.

EDIT: "I know Shep... But how do you feel in your heart, do ya feel your heart buddy?... Do you feel the freedom in your heart?"

[Oreo]

18. "You should be proud of this"

What a great day!

[Mike Niendorff]

17. Not to mention, they're broadcasting voters' faces.

Seriously, what the hell are these TV crews thinking?


MDN

[alcuno]

19. And they are broadcasting from inside a polling center.

On FAUX. Meanwhile CNN says they have to stay outside.

[minkyboodle]

22. to quote the late great Johnny Carson.... "mmmmm thats good propoganda"

Geraldo is in rare form in his flack jacket. I keep waiting for him to open the glove box of Iraqi democracy..... Really quite incredible.. It took this level of absurdity to bring me back to posting at DU..... I so missed it but have been a mess recently. THank you Geraldo!!!
Scott

[5thGenDemocrat]

26. "the glove box of Iraqi democracy"

Hyuk.
John
Good one.

[hangemhigh]

27. "The voting is going on as normal"

Back to Rita "catfish" Crosby.....

[7th_Sephiroth]

28. how manny 'splosions?

well

[LynnTheDem]

29. LOL!!! geraldo is such a mental midget!

Too funny!

The world is NOT FOOLED, geraldo. And even most of America isn't fooled. But hey, gotta keep the little fringe group rightwignnuts appeased. LOL!

[fooj]

31. Geraldo needs a paycheck...he's a newlywed!

After they bitch-slapped him at the start of this war he's been nothing but a full on ass kisser! If it wasn't so cheesy it would be laughable! I saw that, too. Man, he barely flinched when that loud explosion went off behind him! I looked at my husband and we started howling! Hilarious...I can't believe how transparent they are! Get it all in before that pesky little STOP GOVT. PROPAGANDA ACT passes legislation!

[Darranar]

32. Ah, yes, the glorious triumph of Freedom!

A president elected in two fraudulent American elections culminates a war based on fraudulent evidence with a fraudulent Iraqi election!

Hail Democracy, Bush-Style!

[Bouncy Ball]

33. No thanks. I actively shun the presstitutes.

Still, it will be good entertainment for those of you who still watch them to watch their heads explode from the centrifugal force of the spinning they'll have to do for the next few days, turning a 1% (maybe) voter turnout into SUCCESS AND FREEDOM AND DEMOCRACY!
