Nearly one week ago Geraldo Rivera decided to make the world a better a place to he tweeted this gorgeous picture to the universe.

Sorry!

“70 is the new 50,” he proclaimed.

And “drunk is still drunk,” we soon learned, when Rivera admitted that he MIGHT have drank a little too much tequila the night of what I like to call “Nipplegate.”

His explanation is quite awesome:

“I did a great show on black-on-black crime and race relations and the Trayvon Martin fallout and federal charges … and I get home and there’s no one to talk to, everyone’s asleep,” Rivera explained on 95.5 FM’s Scott & Todd morning show about his “Geraldo at Large” TV show, which he films Saturday nights. Still “wired” from work, Rivera admitted to having “a couple of drinks.” “This weekend, it was tequila. I never do tequila when I’m alone, but I had this new bottle that someone had given me for my birthday,” the 70-year-old star admitted. “By the second one, my fate was sealed.”

Ha! I love the whole “I never do tequila alone” defense. That’s why I say too. It’s usually beer, wine, or whiskey alone for me!

Whatever, I still love Geraldo. And because I may have horrified you by posting the picture above for the second time in one week, enjoy this jpeg to cleanse the palate.

Did you pervs really think I was going to post a picture of Jon Hamm again? Well, you were almost correct. Almost.
