Did Malkin quit O'Reilly's Factor over Geraldo clash?
By John Amato Sunday Oct 14, 2007 4:30pmGeraldo apologizes to Malkin on The Factor:
Then he says he fell on Bill's sword over the apology while explaining why Limbaugh should apologize over his "phony soldiers" comment...

Malkin and Geraldo have been fighting for a while over her extreme immigration positions.
Rivera: Here’s the problem. I believe that proponents of immigration--like Michelle, Rush Limbaugh, Tancredo of Colorado, Lou Dobbs at CNN--those people would not agree to any immigration reform that allows the people who are here to remain.
Malkin: Geraldo has continued to play the race card..
Then Rivera bashed Michelle in an interview:
“Michelle Malkin is the most vile, hateful commentator I’ve ever met in my life,” he says. “She actually believes that neighbors should start snitching out neighbors, and we should be deporting people.
“It’s good she’s in D.C. and I’m in New York,” Rivera sneers. “I’d spit on her if I saw her.”
Then Malkin tried to run hate ads against Geraldo and they were rejected.....Now it looks like she bailed out of the Factor.

Subject: Re: Michelle no longer on the Factor?
I made the decision to quit appearing on the O’Reilly show in response to the poor handling of the Geraldo Rivera matter (the staged “apology” on The Factor was a complete farce). I won’t go into details, but please know that your support means a lot to me. You can catch me on other Fox News shows and read my daily blog posts and weekly columns at MichelleMalkin.com.Best,
Michelle
FOX has been grooming her for a long time and something more had to happen for O'Reilly's team to let her go or for her to quit. A network doesn't develop what they think is an asset and then suddenly drop it. She was subbing on Fridays and Bill loves his girl team segments during the week. The most extreme right wing blogger out there just doesn't give up that spot over Geraldo in my opinion....I'm trying to get more information on this, but nobody--and I mean nobody--plays the victim better than Malkin...

FOX will probably stage a big show where he will beg her forgiveness and this will be advertised as a big fu*king deal. Then with that fanfare it will be announced that she will soon have her own show on FOX.
FIRED not quit frist?
Crybaby liar. wah wah boohoo. "If they don't totally agree with my shrill POV, they MUST be wrong. And I quit."
Now please, just quit talking and writing as well. At least publicly. Thanks in advance for your cooperation.
Even Fox couldn't handle the embarrassing rabid banshee. She is a true believer. Fox "personalities" are grifters and hustlers that are in it for the money. Having amateurs threaten the cash cow is not allowed.
Gerald. Bill and Michelle, I don't believe there are three people I could care to think less about, all on Fox which I care nothing about.
Every single day Michelle Malkin breaks down racial barriers by showing the world you don't have to be Caucasian to be considered white trash.
Maybe she got caught with Oompa's Loofah...!
Wow, she is uuuuugly.
Some people need help!
Malkin cuts and runs because not everyone wants to hate with her.
...make no mistake, though, Gerrrraldo is still a hack.
Geraldo: "I threw myself on Bill O'Reilly's sword."
Thanks for that visual image there, Jerry. mick e's going to need to loofa his brain now.
Like most things of this nature, I am sure it had to do with money.
I feel respect for Geraldo????
(and the universe implodes.....)
Ahhhhh... Why don't you cry me a river MiMi, you freekin little b.i.t.c..h.... I guess ol Loofah boy will have to pull his own pud now........bummer, breaks my heart honey...
Here's an idea Michelle... Why don't go get all your rightie fascist pieholes buddies and just go ahead and form up a circular firing squad.... I'd buy a ticket to watch you morons sit around and destroy yourselves in public on T.V.......... Now that's what I'd call entertainment.......JD
"but nobody–and I mean nobody–plays the victim better than Malkin…"
Amen to that.
It's like two maggots fighting on top of a piece of shit...for me, holds little interest.
patthemonkey @ 5:
What a great call I'll join you with those sentiments 3 disgusting people on a disgusting excuse of a news network
this is evidence of the bully theory. if you stand up to a bully, they will go away. especially if its a bully who faces up against a bully. malkin is running like a dog with its tail between its legs and if she had spine, she would go back and debate with moustachio until they were blue in the face. i love seeing them duke it out with eachother, very satisfying.
Geraldo is a deperate man. Fox is the last stop before Palookaville and he realized his ticket could be punched so he started groveling. I remember who Geraldo was in the 70's and this guy is unrecognizable as the same person. He's done a Dennis Miller. Pathetic.
She's such a douchebag.
Malkin playing the victim?.....you got that right.Who cares what happens to her as long as she's gone for good.I'll bet her ratings were piss poor.
What do you suppose Malkin wants to be when she grows up?
Zenrage @ 6:
Nailed it!
Funny, too.
:lol: :lol: :lol:
milkman @ 22:
Grand PooBaa of the KKK....but something tells me they won't have her....dunno what it is....just a feeling.
Bill sure does love his girls, especially when they're naked in the shower and... say, you don't think there was a problem of that sort, do you?
Maybe Bill has a cheerleader fantasy...
Hill @ 23:
oh yeah....I'm gonna use this one...........good one Zenrage!
Why do these moronic, insulting pinheads all seem to have such thin skins? Malking makes a living insulting people-- she should be able to take a barb herself without curling up in a ball and crying for an apology.
I swear to god, I'd be embarrassed by people like Malkin if I were a right winger. They act like spoiled, idiot children.
Nice staged apology, Geraldo. I guess Malkin must have thrown herself on O'Reilly's "sword" first.
Or better.
You're right John, something's up. I think I know what it might be. SHE'S AN ILLEGAL ALIEN!! Straight out of the Larry Craig playbook.
Malkin should quit human life.
Maybe O'Reilly tried to slip Malkin some of his falafel.
If so, at least she'll now be able to afford health insurance.
It's great to see the far right feuding among themselves. Malkin is a total trash whore and deserves to be dumped from appearing on any media outlet. She is worse, in many ways than Man Coulter and pressure should be brought on all of the nets to keep both of these disgusting individuals off the airwaves!
Boo Frickin' Hoo. She'll be missed.
Not.
Geraldo wimped out.
Bullies always show themselves to have thin skin when they are up against the wall.
It's so bizarre to me that Michelle has "fans" and "supporters" and that she feels the need to thank them. Oreilly too, for that matter. I suppose anything is possible in a country raised by the TV, but still....it's just bewildering.
Best not to worry myself with it too much. "Accept the things I cannot change" and all that.
she really is the most repugnant,vile,obnoxious sorry excuse for a human I've ever seen..except for Man Coultergeist.....wow...coultergeist's name comes up on spell check now..she made the grade...
I will mail each of them an automatic rifle and hope.
LibertyLover @ 34:
Oh Snap!!, libertylover, you had me going for a sec. I was like aw naw, this cracker ain't gone come up in here spittin' Malkin love. Then in your next message you completely reversed it, wittily writing 'Not.' Bravo, sir, bravo.
Geraldo had to do it......he needs the health ins.
I understand Malkin's viewpoint IF....she is full blood Navajo or Blackfoot Indian.
If she isn't First Nations native....then she's a racist biatch!
I agree with Malkin, we should deport all anchor babies starting with... er... Malkin.
Aw man, i want to see a letter saying she's quitting all her bullshit media....or life..but that would be another type of letter. But that asshole will never go away.
Her departure does seem suspicious. Perhaps the Fox Network felt that one of their most extreme spinwhores was being underutilized. I wouldn't be surprised if she turned up with her own Fox show. Coulter seems to be flaming out and they have been grooming Malkin as a backup/replacement. Ooh wouldn't I just love to see the catfight that would cause.
Cat Atomic @ 27:
They are simply that deluded. Malkin doesn't hurt peoples feelings, she just tells the truth without the sugar coating. She really thinks she's doing you a favour when she calls you a patheticm, lying, subconsciously racist, liberal.
Kinda like Mussolini quitting WWII because Adolph hurt his feelings.
"we can make more hotair videos now, baby. Wear the school girl outfit for me"-Bryan Preston to Michelle
All it would take is for her to say the wrong thing, and her confederate of mouth breathers would pick her tiny ass up and drop her in a blender.
a malkin smoothy....except its bad for you and tastes like shit.
this is worth following. i'd love to know the real reason behind her quitting.
maybe michelle got a call from loofah man inviting her to lather up.
Sorry to do this, but: c*nt-and-run... again.
[Edited-Sitemonitor]
Yeah... figured that wouldn't last. Vile but funny.
MiMi (h/t Jack Damage) is boo-hooing over being picked-on by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution and wants everyone to vote on Mike Lukovich's latest editorial cartoon...
I have a feeling that she's using Geraldo as a scape goat...so she could make a somewhat gracefull exit....as if she knew what being gracefull meant.
Why did Geraldo throw himself on a sword?
Check out Sadly No! http://www.sadlyno.com/archives/7528.html
Translation: The O’Reilly show fired me for my poor handling of the Graeme Frost matter (my continuing attacks on a 12-year-old kid with traumatic brain injury made me a liability) and for my endless campaign against Geraldo Rivera, to list some of this month’s examples. Having been given the opportunity to resign, I have turned it around on the O’Reilly show and am now performing my Brave Little Topsy act. Can you believe their poor handling of the. . .uh, thing? I am so outraged at this lack of professionalism that I will die here in this snowbank before continuing to associate myself with such a program.
You can catch me on other Fox shows unless I’ve really done it to myself this time, in which case I’m calling Howie Kurtz to bail me out again, plus I still have a blog and a syndicated column, so nyeah.
I think you're right. There's something else going on here.
Michell Malkin debased herself and consistently carried Bill O'Reilly's political spit bucket. She even betrayed her maternal instincts to do O'Reilly's bidding by invading the home of a 12 year old to harass him and his family. This is the thanks she gets; an ignominious dismissal from the No Spin Zone.
In the first clip, the one with BO'R, he's saying that Michelle is an "Honest woman, and that's her opinion and she's entitled to it without any kind of ------" Geraldo is speaking over him at this point and I can't make out his last word. I'm curious about what that last word could possibly be. It can't be "mike cut" or "Fox security showing up at her house" or "shut up, shut UP, SHUT UP!!" This seems very inconsistent with BO'R usual attitude towards differing opinions. Any idea on what he does say?
..LOOFAH BOY DID A " ANDREA MACKRIS " ON " ANCHOR BABY " MALKIN
This woman is a total phoney. Her head is swelled so big that she can barely get through the door. She is a vile person, beauty is skin deep but like ann coulter this woman is ugly to the bone!
You guys don't know Michelle Malkin. She is positive that she is some sort of warrior. And not just a desk jockeying, culture warrior but like, she once called herself a "lion" mom in response to Sally Field's rallying of caring mothers everywhere during her award acceptance speech.
No, Malkin would quit over something like this - somehow she feels that makes her tough. Her yesmen dorkfobs at her blog (also bullshit warriors) and her pile on ol' Geraldo at any given opportunity. If she would've continued to show up on this program while O'Reilly and Geraldo are friendly it would've resonated poorly with the fapping nerds that root her on at her blog.
Malkin's a nasty, nasty woman. She makes Bill O'Reilly look like a friendly old chum by comparison. Malkin is either going to lead one of her followers to hurt someone, kill herself from extraodinary confused self loathing, or upset the wrong person. Please note, not condoning violence in any way, but if you've ever spent 10 minutes at that blog you'll understand what an extremist this crazy bitch is.
haha.... comedy gold over in the comments section @thinkprogress :
" I’ve got a friend at FoxNews. Malkin was forced to resign because, in the words of my friend, she’s “batshit crazy.” She was skating on thin ice there anyway, and she knew it.
The over-the-top attack on the Frost family was the last straw for Fox management. Believe it or not, there are actually some people capable of sustained abstract thought in the upper-echelons there. As her shtick got crazier and crazier over the past 9 months or so management grew less and less comfortable with her. Even O’Reilly wanted her out.
She cried during the meeting where her “resignation” was accepted. Apparently she was largely successful keeping the weeping under wraps but at some point she broke into long, mournful sobs as she was being led out of the building by security. Very awkward.

Course, maybe there is something to that Graeme Frost thing. I mean, how many scandals can the righty pundits handle in a month?
Yea, maybe that did have something to do with it..
I'm amazed that Geraldo is still employed by Fox News for not towing the GOP party line on immigration.
Ok. Good. We've found a positive use for Geraldo. Can we get him to move into Malkin's blog, life and everywhere in between to have her quit doing anything?
Michelle needs a goatsee, from bill oreally
please don't ask me what a goatsee is . It is just for michelle.
Oh and 69!
What makes this whole thing so hilarious is the Geraldo is not even hispanic--he's Jewish. He changed his name to land a job at ABC in NY back in the 80's. Malkin should do her homework. Sorry, I forgot it was Malkin!
If Obama sounds like Osama,
Malkin must be Maliki.
In the timeless words of Lemmy from Motorhead:
"Slut.
Slut
Slut.
You dirty bitch."
john ames @ 70:
Actually Dad Puerto Rican, mom Jewish. It makes him a hispanic guy who Jewish law would call a Jew (his mom's religio/ethnicity makes him Jewish).
His birth name was Gerald, however.
Do I smell a phony controversy on the horizon? Hooray for ratings.
curtilingus @ 69:
Don't even look up goatse. Not work friendly. Or home friendly, for that matter.
Bill o'Reilly & Michelle Malkin deserve each other.
The bitch has Narcissistic Personality Disorder and will not participate in anything unless she gets to play the character she wants to play the way she wants to play it. She is human, but barely participating in her life. She sees her mission to play a role and to repeat the rumors and gossip that prop up and validate that specific character (and believe me, it will be very specific). She has no thoughts of her own, which is why she melted down in front of Chris Matthews.
Michelle who?.............
"FOX has been grooming [Malkin] for a long time..."
Well someone's got to get the fleas out of her hair.
"F 'em all"
Malkin should crawl back under the rock she came from!
Rock'em sock'em knuckleheads.
Faux News: the WWE of "news entertainment."
Malkin is an egomaniac of epic proportions.
Her blog is the only forum where she can pontificate from on high.
Immature rants that are easily shot down by any sane person. From BOTH sides of the aisle.
Sorority wonk who lies to her base to keep it, and runs like a skittish squirrel when opposed.
She is a loser.
awwww...
boo-FRACKIN-hooo.
This is just plain flat out, wrong, but I dig the music.
~nwa
This is teh funny, too.
Enjoy.
~nwa
I can't believe it! I actually felt sympathetic for Bill O'Reilly trying to get Malkin from running out from underneath the porch to bite Rivera on the ankle!! I know, I know, poetic justice and O'Reilly sure has it coming but even *he* was plainly disgusted with her.
Truth be told, though, I think Malkin and Geraldo are hot for each other - mad, angry right-wing killer sex.
I wouldn't watch it, though, even if I could get a ticket.
Man, this clip was the best schadenfreude I've had in years.
Milo
michelle malkin is a low-life, an arrogant, a nasty faux ho. if she's a mother i feel very sorry for her children.
Kind of wierd when crazy right wingers fire other right crazy wingers. Next we need Coulter to start flipping out.
Maybe this is a sign that their BS is piled so high it's starting to stink in their own camp.
Michelle "anchor baby" Malkin, has baggage, her parents being here in USA on work visa's, her being born too them, begs too suggest she is the anchor baby she rants and raves against the hispanics anchor babies, she rants and raves on legal immigration versus illegal but she wrote a sick writing on her approval of and suggestion of legality of "Internment of Japanese Americans during world war II", even though presidents, congress/senate, US Supreme court all ruled, agreed it was a injustice, unconstitutional, disgrace too american history, she is like one coming in and writing it was justified too have slavery in the USA, she will appeal too racists, who adhere to this attitude, hatred and racism, she is merely a shill brown racist for Bill Oreilly's, Sean Hannity's white racist fans who deny they are racists, hide behind patriotism as their reasoning for anger at the hispanic illegal immigration issue, just as the Klu Klux Klansmen of 1960's recruited non Klansmen too their cause with the issue of "States Rights" as their cause and denied they were racists, today we have the same slick twisting of the racism issue, one thing common on all racists, whether they be white, brown, red, black, they all have the same mentality, hatred for anyone they deem less than themselves, only difference is usually the color/culture of those they hate, one might call them equal opportunity racists/bigots...! I would venture there is more too her leaving some of the Fox Network shows, but I doubt she is leaving Fox all together unless something or someone has discovered a story on her too make her arguments lacking such as some unethical issue in her life, or history. I often have advocted for right wing papparazzi too chase them 24/7, just as the hollywood stars papparazzi do, and believe the tabloids will pay equal multi-digit payoffs for dirt, smut, photos on these darlings of the right wing who claim themselves as moralists, right wing christians, when in reality, not one human being according too the Jesus I believe in is good enough without his mercy or salvation, and all have fallen short of gods glory, look at the fallen right wing moralistic politicians daily being exposed as closet homosexuals, whoremongers [using prostitutes], thieves of the public monies, selling political influence, and god only knows what other attrocious crimes they are guilty of, some might suggest War Crimes and War Profiteering in the Iraq War issue..., Black Water has made billions of american tax dollars on this conflict and it would take a blind person too not see it is too the right wings political cronies advantage that this war go on for 10 too 15 years for their cronies profiteering...., I wonder how god will judge a nation that allows this too continue unchecked, one might think the biblical end times being a horror not so far fetched if one believes god punishes nations for their citizens wrongs or ignoring wrongs..., Jesus does on judgment day condemn those who ignored the poor, hungry, naked those sick and in prison as biblical goats, simply ignoring these evils is a condemnation by Jesus not knowing them and god being so disgusted he refuses too look upon them, so I for one refuse too ignore these issues, am not able too do much other than rant and rave on line but I will do so as long as god gives me breathe.
There is a old saying give one enough rope and they will hang themselves, Ann "wicked witch of the right wing" Coulter has denigrated liberals, vietnam veterans [got fired from CNN doing so live on show], denigrated 9/11 widows, claims moral superiority, bravery too defend america [ironic she fled in terror across a stage from a heckler trying to hit her with a harmless cream pie, which many comedians do for a good laugh willingly], truly the list of those she demonizes/denigrates is too long too list, she is merely someone who has found a audience, hatemongers, racists, bigots, they will always love her, read her books, pander too her as fans. She has found her niche in society as the "wicked witch of the right wing", she has a counter part her sister the "asian wicked witch of the east" Michelle "anchor baby" Malkin, and both pander and sell hatred too their fans, thankfully their fans will never be a majority, but like all things it goes up and down in popularity, I foresee a day they will be mere old witches in their coven of hatred/bigotry/racism, and the majority will ignore them but they will always appeal too their miniority fan base the die hard racists, bigots, whom I like too call the biblical goats who claim too follow Jesus but on judgment day will get a awe and shock when he does not know them....
I just e-mailed the O'Reilly Factor thanking them for dumping her.
There is no joy in malkinville tonight. :D
sneakerpimp @ 64:
While I'm not saying that what is described above actually happened, I think it's probably the most plausible explanation. Faux News probably was getting flack from their advertisers, especially those who purchase time on The Factor, regarding the Graeme Frost situation and her handling of it. That, combined with everything else about her, uh, essence probably led to her being politely "asked" for her resignation. Besides, does anybody know what her ratings were when she would pitch relief for Bill-O?
The Factor is a choice gig, the flagship show of the network. Faux News invested much time and money into what I think was grooming Bill-O's eventual replacement. Because of her history and antics, Stalkin' Malkin was likely not a very good choice to begin with. But the Graeme Frost incident had to be the last straw. Cut your losses while you can-she's damaged goods, well beyond repair.
Sayonara, Stalkin' Malkin!
Pickles @ 87:
I hate to say it, but yep, she's a mother of two.
Hey guys, this is fucking All Star Wrestling. It's what got Geraldo his fame in the first place. None of it is real. None of it means anything. It's all a ploy to get ratings up on the Factor and to give these hacks something to blather about.
Oh, this is too frgn' great! I absolutely cannot stand that woman. I've been sending BillO emails this past year, telling him how hateful and vile that wench is....over this past weekend, I saw that she called someone a "nazi bitch." As much as I cannot stand Falafel Bill; as bad as he is; Michelle Malkin is much worse, and perhaps BillO has finally realized what a hateful creature she is.....at least I hope that, so she doesn't come back on!
Michelle is easily the best columnist/blogger in the business. She was also a superb anchor when she would sub in for Bill on the factor.
It's a shame that something so petty should cause this, but, as usual, Michelle is probably right on this.
She's so good that CNN or MSNBC should hire her to do an hour prime time show. If they had any brains they would. It would certainly help take them out of the ratings basement.

More speculation on my part of course. But in the spriit of Peggy Noonan here goes. Knowing Bill, he probably couldn't keep his loofah in his pants and probably tried to offer Malkin a helpful 'rubdown' after one of her shows. Even though they might seem to make the perfect ideological match (no that would Malkin and Rush, second best then) when it comes down to it, a woman is a woman after all, conservative or liberal. And when a douchebag tries to pull a loofah on a girl, then Bush be screwed, she's had enough.

Michelle Malkin: Alive and Undaunted in Malkinland.
