Kathy Griffin asked Anderson Cooper who in the current administration does he want to Waterboard

[itsrobert]

the most. Live on CNN. Anderson quickly steered away from the question.

[orleans]

1. ewe. who is this freak griffin? and good for him. n/t

[varkam]

5. Kathy Griffin is a comedian. eom

[lame54]

33. She's best known for this...

[ElizabethDC]

2. She also asked what cabinet position would Chuck Norris have in a Huckabee presidency

I knew I had to watch CNN as soon as I saw that Kathy and Anderson were hosting - they both crack me up.

[notadmblnd]

12. I was watching her standup on A&E

and she thinks cooper is dreamy. Made a funny remark about Cooper covering Hurricane Katrina in Prada.

[ElizabethDC]

19. She cracks me up. I'm a huge fan.

And I think she's right about Cooper being dreamy.

[hobbit709]

3. I wouldn't know where to start.

Assuming I would waterboard anyone.

[Lex]

4. she is funny in an awkward way

nt

[sandnsea]

6. People are running. Lou Dobbs is afraid

:rofl:

I love her. Although the waterboarding question probably wasn't appropriate for this particular venue.

[ldf]

36. if it was appropriate

kathy wouldn't ask it.

you obviously don't know kathy.

love her!

[jonnyblitz]

7. "Why does Lou Dobbs want to send all the Mexicans back?"

:wow:

[K Gardner]

8. I saw that and cracked up. Cooper said she was going to get him fired, LOL.

[UTUSN]

9. She is so FEARLESS and COOPER is such a WUSS!1

It is a perfectly legitimate question for her to ask a scardey cat like him-------under the cover of "comedy". I canNOT fathom how he could participate in backstabbing Aaron BROWN. Talk about being born on 3rd base!1

[global1]

10. Andy Said She "Crossed The Line" And She Said.....

that's why they hired her - not only to cross the line - but to move it. Go Kathy!!!!!

11. Okay time to post my Anderson Cooper pictures

Since he is hosting New Year's Eve and I just read on another thread where he cracks someone up, I was reminded of these pictures I took when I met Anderson at Camp Casey in August of 2005. Yes I shook his hand and told him to tell his mom her jeans ROCK. (Seriously I won't buy any other brand)

First there is this casual pose:




Then he turned around:




Happy New Year Anderson. I hope your mom makes some pants for YOU!! :toast:

[Auntie Bush]

14. Is that my butt you just posted?

[proud2BlibKansan]

15. Only if you are Anderson Cooper

[K Gardner]

17. Cooper has Edwards ads all over his blog. I was wondering if that was on purpose..

if he's an overt Edwards supporter, or if it was some kind of recurring ad thing.

[proud2BlibKansan]

18. He seemed like a nice guy when I met him

So maybe he is an Edwards supporter :shrug:

I don't know though. It's hard to tell when you just shake his hand. LOL

[mitchtv]

22. I thought he was a log cabin republican?

Maybe I am wrong

[proud2BlibKansan]

35. I know he is gay

but I am not sure if he is a Republican or a Democrat.

[xultar]

25. Maybe he thinks Edwards is hot.... Just a thought.

[liberalnurse]

27. OMG I love it!

A treasured keepsake! Thanks for the eagle-eye!

[countmyvote4real]

13. Damn. I missed it. Was she there all night with him?

She is too funny. I love her comic sensibility. Perfect for CNN since I don't go there for news that matters.

[Ichingcarpenter]

16. She dates the co-founder of Apple - 'The Woz"

she rocks.
When she went to the woman's prison
did she have some comments.

[begin_within]

20. Also this exchange:

Kathy: "I'm not even watching my figure!"
Anderson: "Don't worry, I'm not watching your figure either."

[Bolo Boffin]

23. Whoop!

LOL, Cooper has the most transparent closet ever. Some days he doesn't even try. :)

[Hoof Hearted]

21. I thought she was pretty tacky myself. Not based on that comment but as a whole. n/t

[TalkingDog]

28. You are right

All women should behave as proper ladies at all times.

Never should they be allowed to speak out against the outrageous actions or behaviors of men.

Nor should they be permitted to be loud, rude or bellicose.

Simply not allowed.

(of course, when all our liberties are legislated away, no one will be allowed to do these things, so this will serve as a guideline for practice)

30. Oh come on. If someone finds Kathy Griffin unfunny, they support legislating away civil liberties?

She was talking about wanting to see people vomit on television. She was classless, coarse and crass.

Tacky. Unfunny. She embarassed herself.

[TalkingDog]

31. Much better.

Now, at least, you have given a concrete reason you find her tacky and unappealing. If you don't verbalize, we really do end up guessing what you are trying to convey.

And you made the assumptive connection between finding Ms. Griffin unfunny and a curtailment of civil liberties. Nowhere in my post did I state or imply such.

24. Kathy Griffin does not give a fuck...

I like her and her work.

and I would'nt kick Cooper out of bed.:evilgrin:

[Malikshah]

26. Good for her. I wish others would take the media on like that.

I am astounded at those who would think this is tacky. It's the right thing to have done.

As the regime is attempting to legitimate waterboarding and the mainstream media is enabling them, why shouldn't she and everyone else who gets on the public airwaves call them on it.

Too many people just don't have the cajones to call folks out.

Anyone who talks about "polite" actions or the idea that the message would get across better if couched in conciliatory tones needs to wake up and look at the reality around us.

[WolverineDG]

29. Too bad Ann Coulter wasn't on with Kathy

that would have been fun to watch. :evilgrin:

[AlCzervik]

32. you should see her live, she is awesome and loves her audience.

i saw her last year and she was on stage for 2 hours.

[Blue_Tires]

34. lol at that!
