Video: The obligatory “Geraldo knocked over by hurricane wave” clip

I wasn’t going to post it, just because it’s not worth the aggravation of the faux-outraged “you’re laughing at his misfortune!” complaints, but (a) he’s perfectly fine, and (b) if Martha MacCallum can giggle at it, so can we.

Exit question: What happened? Just a rolling tide of sea water with a nasty undertow, or did Poseidon spit on him? Click the image and scroll down to watch.

Always fun to see the “Spit Man” get knocked down. Heh.

This is Texas! Even our storms hate that punk!

‘Gahhh!! I’m down!! Probably won’t make it!! I’m going to try and draw my exact position in the sand here…oh!! Wait!!’

I loved it when she said “takes a licking and keeps on ticking”

After watching it again, I find myself green with envy….To actually knock that pompous prick on his ass would be sublime…

It is probably a good thing it was on film….Lord knows how Jerry would turn ‘I got dumped on my ass’ into ‘The Horror!!..300 foot wave…I was helping a crippled migrant worker child into a helicopter..and the wave hit!!! The entire Fire Department of the State of Texas was on hand, but they couldn’t fight the awesome power of this Global Warming disaster the way I could…I’m going to cling to this dead, bloated corpse of what I believe to be a member of the racist Minute Men organization so I can continue reporting…Pray for me!!!

Oh I’m so glad Geraldo was OK and laughing. It made my laughing so hard out loud at his “thunk” OK. :)

Wave – meet Rivers.

Whoraldo the media whore does this stuff on purpose. It was no accident.

I waited this long to see Horrendous Revolver, get knocked off his feet for shooting his mouth off. And it wasn’t a human-being that did the job.

It is a well known fact that Poseidon loves Michelle.

These media clowns put filming at a dramatic looking location ahead of common sense. It’s just a matter of time before one of them pays with his life.

TooTall on September 12, 2008 at 6:22 PM

Geraldo put the ‘flop’ in flopsweat.

I wonder if Rather still chases after these storms and acts like he is reporting?

“Here at the edge of Hurricane Ike for see-BS News….I’m Dan Rather….’courage’.

LOL!

That’s great! Right before Geraldo gets knocked down, he says: “Look at this. I want to show you something Martha. Look at the … uh, umm, uh…”

He showed us something alright.

That is frickin’ priceless!

Geraldo: “Oh no, now I’m gonna be a star of YouTube now.”

For a long time…

Add me to the list–can’t stand this media whore either!
