Headline on Drudge's front page. The link to story wouldn't work for me.
UPDATE
AARON BROWN OUT AT CNN
Wed Nov 02 2005 15:43:11 ET
To: All CNN Staff
From: Jon Klein
We have made some programming decisions which will impact our prime time schedule as well as our colleague Aaron Brown. Aaron will be leaving CNN and is very much looking forward to some well-deserved time off with his family.
Aaron has made enormous contributions to CNN since his groundbreaking anchoring of Sept. 11th through the war in Iraq to the Tsunami to the recent hurricanes. Outside of the big stories, on a nightly basis, Aaron has provided our audiences with insight into the events of the United States and the world with eloquence and the highest journalist integrity.
Besides his stellar work as an anchor, Aaron stands as an absolutely brilliant writer, evident by the thoughtful perspective he injects into every story he touches.
Personally, I will miss Aaron and his wicked sense of humor. We cannot thank Aaron enough for the skills and professionalism he brought to CNN. Given his respect throughout the industry, there is no question that he will be missed.
He could call Alfranken's publisher. . .
He cannot be a happy guy right now. . .
Too good! LOL. . .
ROFL
I couldn't stomach the bassturd when he was a minor anchorman here in Wa. State...
I was thinking maybe old Roadrunner cartoons.
More than funny. .. OMG. . .really funny. . .
'Award winning, in fact' LOL. . . :^)
HAHA! Thanks for that laugh!
I just don't get him and as soon as I hear his voice I turn him off.
Birth - June 3, 1967 in New York City, to designer/heiress Gloria Vanderbilt and her 4th (and last) husband, writer Wyatt Cooper. His father died of a heart attack when Cooper was ten years old.
Education - BA in Political Science/International Relations from Yale University, 1989. Studied the Vietnamese language at University of Hanoi.
Family - Single, except for his dog, Molly, a Welsh Springer Spaniel
Cooper has frequently been publicly involved in supporting gay and lesbian issues.
Growing Up As a Vanderbilt: Though born into wealth, the teenage Cooper worked summers as a waiter. He pursued his first job, at age 11, as a Ford model because he "wanted to...be financially independent."
Cooper's older brother (by two years) committed suicide in 1988 by jumping from Vanderbilt's 14th floor apartment in New York. Before then, Anderson was on track at Yale to enter foreign diplomatic service.
After his brother's death, he took a year off, then pursued a job in TV. Anderson Cooper is mildly dyslexic.
Bwaahahahaha! At first I thought your post meant Aaron Brown from CNN was "coming out". Good riddance....
It sounds as if being Gloria Vanderbilt's child wasn't easy.
Ari doesn't suprise me. He kicked butt in the daily news conferences and you can't think that fast and not be pretty smart. Anderson strikes me as a deep-thinker... and I'm not 100% convinced he is a died-in-the-wool liberal.
Aaron Brown Who?
Aaron Brown = "floater"
OH! .... :P
...That maybe worth watching for a few minutes...until she opens her mouth...then change the channel.
Anderson Cooper on deck to compete with Hannity and Greta? LOL. Did you know Cooper is a graduate of Yale and University of Hanoi? LOL..
GOOD I couldn't never stand that smug
Anderson Vanderbilt Cooper got his spot, didn't he?
