Benghazi........the disgrace of Anderson Cooper:

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 2012

The disgrace of Anderson Cooper: Who the heck is Susan Rice, “this girl” we’re considering for secretary of state?

To get a rough idea, we will recommend this report by her most authoritative biographer. Meanwhile, let’s offer two more examples of the low-IQ garbage which went on the air last night.

Let’s skip the comments of John McCain, one of the dumbest, angriest people in recorded history. Speaking with the equally hapless Anderson Cooper, McCain helped us see why he famously graduated 894th out of 899 in his Annapolis class.

Let’s skip this angry old nut-bag completely. But here’s the way Cooper is still cherry-picking Rice’s statements from September 16.

Good God. This is just awful, pathetic:

When M said 4 Americans are dead in Benghazi, C asked about Condi Rice and the dead in Iraq. Am I wrong? Saw something posted here yesterday about it.

Blacks were referred to as boy or girl to denigrate them. Rice may look young but i am sure she is in her 40's at least. The girl crap is being used to make her seem unworthy although she is more than qualified. Sad what lengths folks will go through to keep a good woman down.

By age 23 I had graduated college, gotten married, and had already purchased my first home. Not too bad for a child, eh?

Glad to hear he's gotten over his bitterness about not being considered a liberal media heavyweight and gotten back to work.

and maybe there is something wrong with Cooper's coverage, I don't know. I can't tell if Somerby is levelling a valid criticism or if he just likes Susan Rice or just doesn't like Anderson Cooper.
