Anderson Cooper's Pronoun Problem
The Rev. Jerry Falwell was on Anderson Cooper last night, talking "values" and whatnot. The argument seems to have gotten, uhm, personal:

COOPER: But there are a lot of gay families out there, Reverend Falwell, there are a lot of gay families out there. I think there are like a million kids being raised by gay parents who say that if you want to protect families, you know, civil unions will give inheritance rights, will give Social Security, survivor benefits rights to...
FALWELL: Anderson, that's all a red herring. If you want to leave something to your cat, you can do that in your will...
COOPER: It's not a red herring. That's simply not true. It's not true. You know we pay taxes.
We assume that is a royal "we." (We're big fans.)

1. Randi Rhodes already outed him on her show months ago

She made a big issue about his gayness.

2. Sounds like it.....

Hmmm...it's not as if anyone didn't know already. I do have a crush on him though. I just like gray hair. Oh, he wouldn't be attracted to me anyway:P

[6000eliot]

18. Agree

I think he's kinda cute too. Too mainstream politically for my liking though. I'm glad he gave it to that idiot anyway.

3. Janeane Garofalo on AAR

mentioned once that he was gay...and then sorta backtracked. She became real uncertain as to if he was "out" or not. If he's not out then it's not that big of a secret.

4. Anderson Cooper is Gloria Vanderbilt's gay son.

[UdoKier]

6. Repuke gay son.

9. well he must be fabulous

probably exceedingly so.

[Bunny]

12. How do you know he's a Republican? n/t

[UdoKier]

15. Seems to be the conventional wisdom

His attitudes in dealing with certain topics make me believe that he is at best a moderate repuke.

5. why does Falwell get to be on TV?

:eyes:

19. Why does Cooper get to be on TV?

[Mojambo]

7. That should read Radical Cleric Falwell n/t

[JI7]

8. Cooper has always been openly gay

he was never in the closet (at least not during recent years).

10. Anderson Cooper was cool when he hosted THE MOLE

a smart reality show where the point was to figure out who was lying throughout the show and sabotaging the proceedings.

[Piperay]

11. I loved the Mole

it was one of the best 'reality' shows, took real brains to figure it out. I wish they would bring it back, the one with real people not the celebrity version. x(

[donsu]

17. yeah, I too liked the Mole

13. So?

Not news to me. I think he's a great journalist. One of the young, and brighter people on the horizon.
News like this reminds me of the Daily Show tonight, men, women, and kids dying in the Sudan , Iraq, and Afghanistan don't get half the coverage. Also the Di tapes. Shameless exploitation of a dead lady. Is it any wonder the media can't stand up to this regime. They have their heads up the wrong butts!
Sniffing celebrity ass and new dish on Di is SO important, like Cooper being Gay... Let's move on to real issues, like dumping the Senate republicans next election. That should be our only focus now!

Sorry medeak but a rant needed let out, thanks for the place to let it go!

14. Anderson Cooper is just another bad actor doing infotainment

[prodigal_green]

16. I didn't know he was "in"

Since the first time I saw him on TV I knew he was gay. Didn't think there was any controversy there.

[AngryAmish]

20. I was always under the impression he was out

I guess he does not want to make a big deal out of it. One could here the Repukes calling for his firing because he is biased.

21. CNN CHANGED THE TRANSCRIPT!!!!!!

I posted this in another thread... CNN Changed the transcript to read "You pay taxes" from "WE pay taxes."
The CNN revisionist patrols are out in force, folks. Scrub the news.
