I hope next week's game, My 'Boys and those E-Birds, do better!.......

...and a legend in his own mind.

If I were at MSNBC, I'd fire Keith Olberman and hire Brown; addition by subtraction.

Outside of live sporting events and DVD viewing, who the hell needs a TV?

I definitely think you are on to something.

"Anderson WHO?"

He was that guy on CNN staggering around in the hurricanes a few weeks ago, proving to his dad that he's a real man, too.

Clearly you have never watched Mythbusters.

Prissy boy.

OH Yes, NOW I remember....
Well, at least he should know all about hot air!

Anderson Cooper

[Steve_Seattle]

In a few weeks, expect "Commander In Chief" to have an episode where the lady prez grabs a bullhorn and a rope, commandeers a skiff, and personally rescues hurricane victims.

[Andyman]

CNN is SO 20th century.

It's amazing, how well some replies work in entirely different contexts. For a moment there, I thought I was on the iPod thread, lol.

Anderson Cooper, IIRC, was the first host of the reality show "The Mole" where teams of people went around the world doing wierd tasks to earn bonus money, but one player was a "Mole" hired by the network to pretend to be a player, but sabotage the team's success as much as possible, while still evading detection.

BWA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!

HEY CNN, DON'T YOU GET IT??? FAIR AND BALANCED WINS THE DAY!

A pity, you know; CNN could give Fox a run for its money if the execs over there could wake up and smell the coffee!! Instead, CNN continues in the delusion of an Old Media world.

"CNN Anderson Cooper only debuted to 631,000 viewers from 10-12 PM ET on Monday . . . Cooper lost 42% of Larry King's lead in (1,079,000 viewers) and the debut show was down 10% from what he & Aaron were averaging in October..."

Sounds like AC's rabid and faithful gay audience with a total of 629,999 turned out in full for their gay bro.

Who was the one straight liberal, who watched?

[new cruelty]

One of the few moments I can actually ask "who?" and mean it.

[blackie]

I've never watched any reality TV ~ my wife loves Survivor.

DISH satellite and four TV sets are marriage savers. ;)

[BigSkyFreeper]

He reminds me of the wuss that every kid would gang up on and give a swirly to in the locker room toilet stall after gym class.

[TheForceOfOne]

Never made it off the runway before the crash and burn.

[onyx]

He's so pathetically prissy.
