Iraqi Elections: The Blogosphere Loves Geraldo

Lots of insomniac bloggers are commenting on Geraldo Rivera’s reports from Iraq this morning. As ninme puts it, “random people across the country, watching the same ebullient, mustachioed correspondent:”

> Decision ’08: “I must say his enthusiasm as he broadcasts from Baghdad is quite contagious. Among his comments – ‘Unimaginable under Saddam Hussein’ – ‘People in America should be proud’ – ‘The turnout is amazing’ – ‘This country will heal its wounds’ – ‘The terrorists will lose.’”

> Powerline: “By the way, this has got to be Geraldo Rivera’s finest hour…Geraldo may not quite be a real journalist, but today it seemed to me that he was something more.”

> Captain’s Quarters: “Geraldo’s emotions have overcome him, and he’s not alone.”

> The Great Nick Ball’s Weblog “His comparisons to this event like the ‘falling of the Berlin Wall’ are right on.”
