Just in time for Halloween, CNN's Anderson Cooper and his sidekick, Erica Hill, offered a playful little segment last night on Anderson Cooper 360 in which they noted Nancy Grace interviewing her possible "dangerous doppelgänger." (Actually just attorney Renee Rockwell , who does look a lot like her host.) Watch 'till the end for the cross-dressing payoff, as well as a nice plug for Blackberry. And,...

FNC again topped the ratings on Wednesday — in every hour from 6p on, EXCEPT at 10, when Anderson Cooper scored slightly better than Greta Van Susteren. This happens occasionally. MSNBC was consistently third, except when Keefums barely edged Campbell Brown at 8p. Both were smashed by O’Reilly. Just weeks after being declared by the [...]

I wish I had video to show you, but on Anderson Cooper 360 last night, there was a segment with Ed Rollins, David Gergen, and Paul Begala, and there was a look of palpable fear on the faces of Rollins and Gergen. Some of the commentary: ROLLINS: The other fundamental question here is, how do [...]

Jay sent me a link to a column on Anderson Cooper's site, Palin’s female fans: Why they can relate and the article is all puff but the comments are gold. Have a read and get an idea of how appalled much of America is with her selection for this incredibly important and demanding possible position. Here, here's a taste of the well written dismissals that await you: He could have chosen a competent woman,...

Anderson Cooper Over the last couple of weeks we’ve heard politicians tell us that now is not the time to point fingers and blame people for the financial crisis. I remember them saying that in the days after Hurricane Katrina as well. The truth is that’s what politicians always say.

I'm just waiting for the day when Anderson Cooper has good news to report again. Between the bailout, the economy, the racist pigs at Palin's rallies and AIG's shenanigans there really wasn't much to get excited about on Wednesday's AC360. And to top it off we had another segment with Suze Orman whose explanation of our ailing economy was......beyond words. Let me try and recreate what she said (I...
