IN usual Geraldo Rivera madness, the Saddam mustached thrill seeker has challenged MSNBC's Keith Olberman to a round or two in the ring. But will the pussy come out in Olberman or will he talk his way out of facing Rivera in the ring. You know, this could be great press for both men.

"I would make a pizza out of him." Olbermann countered on his MSNBC show that the "midget" remark confused him since, "I'm about 7 inches taller than he is." And of Rivera's challenge, Olbermann, 47, said: "Geraldo, you should not give me a hard time. I can still remember when you were a big deal . . . back when I was a kid."

Hey Keith, don't talk about it, be about it.
