GERALDO RIVERA BILL O'REILLY FRIENDS

Bill O'Reilly and Geraldo Rivera said Friday there were no hard feelings after they engaged in a shouting match unusual even for a cable opinion program where the volume is frequently set to loud. No chairs flew and no noses were broken. But the finger-pointing verbal duel over illegal immigration on Fox News Channel's "The O'Reilly Factor" Thursday night became a water-cooler topic the next day. "Geraldo is a friend of mine and I think I respect him even more now, if that's possible, than I did before," O'Reilly told The Associated Press on Friday. But they disagree passionately on the issue, he said. "I've known him for 25 years," O'Reilly said. "Geraldo doesn't come on to pick a fight." Rivera said his sensitivity to a "massive witch-hunt" against illegal immigrants set him off Thursday. The two men were discussing the case of Alfredo Ramos, a man charged with manslaughter and suspected of being drunk when his car crashed into another in Virginia Beach last Friday. Two teen-aged girls were killed. Ramos, a Mexican who has been in the United States seven years, is allegedly in the country illegally. "He doesn't have a right to be in this country," O'Reilly said. He said he wanted immigration laws enforced while Rivera favored "open-border anarchy."
Rivera said O'Reilly shouldn't be turning a drunken driving case into an illegal immigration issue. "Don't obscure a tragedy to make a cheap political point," Rivera told him. Rivera told the AP he has a particular sensitivity to the issue. His father, who came to New York from Puerto Rico in 1940, used to watch the news and pray that people who committed a crime weren't Puerto Rican, he said. "I think that illegal immigration is the gay marriage (issue) of this political season," he said. Puerto Rico is a U.S. territory and Puerto Ricans were granted U.S. citizenship in 1917. Rivera, who is a guest on "The O'Reilly Factor" once a week, said he doesn't come on to be cowed or bullied by the host's opinions.
O'Reilly called him after the taping to say, "that was lively, eh?" he said. "We're friends off camera," he said. "On camera, the fact of the matter is that we disagree on so many things that it always makes for good television." Rivera was host of a daytime syndicated talk show famous for its liveliness, where he even had a nose broken in a scrum. He's been working for Fox News since shortly after the 2001 terrorist attacks, and recently had a daytime syndicated news show produced by Fox canceled. His on-camera duel with O'Reilly seems to have struck a chord, judging by the requests he's getting to talk about the issue, Rivera said. The tape was played a couple of times Friday on ABC's "Good Morning America." At one point in the debate, Rivera told O'Reilly, "don't be ... Lou Dobbs' mom." CNN anchor Dobbs has made a crusade of illegal immigration on his program the past year. That was a new insult even for a TV host used to them. "I have been insulted by your organization and many other organizations," O'Reilly told the AP, "so nothing I hear surprises me."

FAKE PRINCE SUES FOX'S BILL O'REILLY

Bill O'Reilly Got It Right On This Fraud

Fraud and Fake ! Frederic Prince von Anhalt (bottom), husband of aging Hollywood sex symbol Zsa Zsa Gabor, Thursday said he has filed suit against a US broadcaster for libel in case involving another US sex symbol. Von Anhalt is seeking 10 million dollars damages from the Rupert Murdoch-owned Fox broadcaster over its coverage of his claims that he fathered a child with the late Anna Nicole Smith, von Anhalt told Deutsche Presse-Agentur dpa. He has filed the libel suit claiming defamation of character in Superior Court in Santa Monica, he said. The sharp-tongued Fox commentator Bill O'Reilly called von Anhalt a 'fraud' for claiming paternity of the six-month-old baby Dannielynn, who has become the prize in a scramble for claim to fame and fortune among at least four bidders who are claiming custody. Smith, the curvaceous, tragedy-plagued gossip icon, was 39 when she collapsed and died on February 8 in a Florida hotel. After 22 days of dispute over who should have possession of her body, she was buried in the Bahamas next to her son, Daniel, who died inexplicably in her hospital room last September after she gave birth to Danielynn. Fox has already apologized to Anhalt for the remarks, but 'I'm not going to take this,' the 63-year-old pretender to German nobility said. Von Anhalt claimed to be Danielynn's father in a paternity suit filed in mid February, saying he had a ten-year-long intimate relationship with the one-time model. 'I know that we were together often in January 2006. I am convinced that she's my baby,' he insisted in the interview. Danielynn was born in September. In addition to von Anhalt, the key players in the custody battle are Smith's estranged mother Virgie Arthur; Howard K Stern, Smith's companion in recent years who is listed as the father on Dannielynn's birth certificate; and photographer Larry Birkhead, a former lover of Smith who also claims paternity of the child. Smith rose to fame in 1993 when she was named Playboy's Playmate of the Year. She married oil tycoon J. Marshall Howard, 89, in 1994 and was still battling for possession of half of the late Marshall's 1.6-billion-dollar estate when she died. Danielynn stands to inherit the money if and when the case is settled. Von Anhalt is the eighth husband of the Hungarian-born stage and screen personality Zsa Zsa Gabor, believed to be 90 years old, whose fame as an actress eroded into a tabloid tale of broken marriages, contentious lawsuits and scandalous behaviour. Von Anhalt, who purchased the title 'Prince Frederic of Anhalt' as an adult, has admitted in interviews that there's not much to Gabor's life behind the mansion walls.

Fake Prince Frederic Von Anhalt

You are a fraud and a fake. You had to buy your Prince title. You are not a real Prince. Bill O'Reilly was right. You never slept with Anna Nicole Smith. He called it like it is. I hope Fox will fight this case and get you in depositions to show the world what a FRAUD you really are. Zsa Zsa Gabor should divorce you. That will be REAL NEWS !

PLEASE SUE ME !
