The TV Zone

It started off badly and then...got only better! The noise. The volume. That gusty, windy, tempestuous moment that - had it been a real storm - would have shut down both LaGuardia and JFK last night. That spittle-flying, shriek-fest. That boisterous, butt-whomping. That blathering, blistering blowout between two blabbering bloviators... (Say that ten times, quickly, please)

We speak, naturally, of the on-air meeting last night between Bill O'Reilly and Geraldo Rivera. You have to see to believe, which is why Youtube is one of the great inventions of modern life (see below.) But first, a couple of observations. Foremost, this definitely wasn't staged - you can tell by Bill's quivering lip, which is sure sign that he's moved to DEFCON 1 (..."use of nuclear weapons authorized...") Geraldo, meanwhile, transformed himself into a supersize bottle of Heinz catsup - only a little redder. These guys were mad.

Now, if only Rosie would come on "The Factor"...
