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.
