Anderson Cooper's having a hissy fit over spending

[RandySF]

I don't remember him complaining so loud for eight years. Is we worried about his taxes going up?

[Thrill]

1. Thats what it is. Same way with Clinton

Watch how all the anchors and people with their own show start acting.

[marmar]

2. I had some respect for Anderson Cooper after Hurricane Katrina.....

......pero, no mas. ..... He's just another out-of-touch media whore.

[devilgrrl]

6. I didn't buy his act for a second

it was annoying watching everyone kiss him blue-blood ass. :grr:

[ContinentalOp]

22. That picture is terrible.

Kind of almost makes him likable!

[AlCzervik]

3. is it his bs "keeping them honest" segment? he was always easy on the gop.

[Stellabella]

12. Yeah, I love that.

"As if the GOP was honest to begin with", I always scream at the TV.

[AlCzervik]

14. Cable "opinion" shows enrage me, i gave up on all of them a few years ago, even KO

i stopped watching him after we won, i just cannot stand any of them.

4. Was it as bad as Contessa Brewer on MSNBC?

Their attempt to hold representatives accountable comes across as staged. We all knew it would take a whole effing lot of money to restart the economy. Maybe they weren't following the campaign....

5. Anderson comes from a very wealthy family...he probably is

a little worried.

[devilgrrl]

7. How will he ever manage?

:nopity:

[Thickasabrick]

8. LOL....nice Jindal pic eom

18. Well his mother was wealthy....

His mother was ripped off by a financial manager who also didn't pay her taxes. The IRS seized all of her remaining assets. She sued but never collected much of anything of hte judgement. Certainly nowhere near what she lost. She actually lived with Anderson for awhile. She was basically penniless and homeless.

She recouped some of it but what she has, and what Anderson has, they worked for. What she inherited, and what he would have inherited, is long gone. They are both normal "capitalist pigs" at this point. And like everyone else, they don't like taxes. Who does?

9. you can't trust....

....anyone with two last names....

....hey andy, don't sweat the spending, worry more about what we're getting for the money....

10. Sensationalism to draw viewers, no doubt

Our noooos programs are not news

[no_hypocrisy]

11. Why? Are his trustees worried?

[Divine Discontent]

15. maybe he's part of the 52,000 suing? hey, ya never know!

[neverforget]

13. The media just discovered that we're in debt. It's really hard to pull one

over on our crack media corps!

16. Isn't he Gloria Vanderbilt's son???

Just plain folks. Watching every penny.

[AlCzervik]

17. yes he's just like us, he's an every man, when he's not in the south of france

he's in the Hamptons, just like us.

[FrenchieCat]

19. He's worried about that "Inheritance Tax" me thinks!

[Maine-ah]
