Newsey Quote Down Memory Lane: Anderson Cooper
“And to listen to politicians thanking each other and complimenting each other, uh, you know, I gotta tell you, there’s a lot of people who are very upset and very angry and very frustrated; and when they hear politicians slap… you know, thanking one another it just, you know, it kinda cuts them the wrong way, right now. ‘Cause literally, uh, there was a body on the streets of, uh, [stutters] this town yesterday, uh, being eaten by rats. Beucase this woman had been laying in the street for forty-eight hours and, and there’s not enough facilities to take her up. Do you, do you get the anger that is out here?”
- CNN anchor Anderson Cooper to Louisiana Senator Mary Landrieu on September 1st, 2005, after listening to her thank Senators Bill Frist and Harry Reid for their aid in Congress.
my grandma has such a crush on that dude, it’s hilarious.
(letting her read this was amazing, intrigue & denial have never ran so tight.)
Never seen that in print–only saw a video clip. It is great! Cooper rips right into Landrieu. Loved it!
wait wait wait… Anderson Cooper is A Vanderbilt and Gay? What were we talking about? Is it okay now that I find him dreamy?
