• Fox News host Geraldo Rivera is attracting some attention for a gross joke he made while discussing the rising tide of anger at the TSA for their often invasive airport security mishaps. Rivera appeared on everyone’s favorite trove of Daily Show material — Fox News’ Fox and Friends— and laid this one on us, as flagged by Politico’s Dylan Byers
• He’s obviously (okay, just hopefully) exaggerating a bit, but — unintended puns aside — he is speaking to a larger point. This is a world where the mother-in-law of The Atlantic’s Jeff Goldberg gets flagged for an “anomaly in the crotch area” and a toddler finds herself on the no fly list.
