Have you no decency? Geraldo Rivera refers to Ambassador Stevens as 'dead dude'

“Dead dude?” That is more than “major tacky,” jackass.

Know what's REALLY tacky? Referring to our late Ambassador to Libya as "dead dude", that's what, @GeraldoRivera.

@GeraldoRivera On sooo many levels, "major tacky" is your referring to Ambassador Stevens as a "dead dude". NOT COOL. Do you have a son?

We knew Geraldo Rivera was cretinous, and an alleged man who threatens to spit on women, but this shows him as completely morally bankrupt. As Twitchy reported yesterday, CNN admitted to concealing evidence (the ambassador’s diary) in the murder of Ambassador Stevens (or as Geraldo would grossly say, “the dead dude”). Geraldo didn’t like that CNN used the diary, but as his disgusting remark makes clear, he is likely just upset that he didn’t get his despicable paws on the “dead dude’s” diary first. We suppose we should be grateful that he didn’t call the deceased ‘nasty meanspirited preppy prick who delighted in cruelty,” as he’s been known to do. He has also made it quite clear that he is a sick ghoul who delights in politicizing on the backs of the dead.

Twitter users are rightfully disgusted.

@GeraldoRivera You refer to Ambassador Stevens as "dead dude"? You are an irrelevant, pathetic human being.
