This Is Stupid - SML is Anderson Cooper.

Rate: 11 Flag

First, I wrote a lovely piece about my husband.

Then, I refused to participate in this because it's foolish.

And sexist.

And pointless.

While I was busy with those things, I was doing my favorite activity: Watching ::cough!:: Anderson Cooper on CNN.

I see your Keith Olbermann and raise you a Rachel Maddow.
Ladies and Gentleman, I give you...

ANDERSON COOPER

He started off pretty...

He loves kids...

He has a great sense of humor…

He is a serious, globe-trotting journalist…helicopter   cnn.com

 

He rocks a hoodie, even in the worst of circumstances…

He won't let anyone forget about Katrina…

He loves his Mama…
(Okay, this one is a little bit Miley Cyrus, but when your mom is Gloria Vanderbilt and your baby picture was taken by Diane Arbus, what do you expect?

He's a great foxhole buddy…

Combat boots! What more must be said?

I love him for his mind… really...

In conclusion, I must respectfully submit that Anderson Cooper is the sexiest man alive. After all, a president is only for four to eight short years, but a news anchor can last a lifetime. /fangirl

For those of you who would like to point out that Anderson Cooper may or may not be gay, I must ask, do you think it effects MY chances? Somehow I doubt it.
A strange set of pics you post for this. rated.
Suzy, would you expect anything less from the Weirdo-In-Residence? LOL
Much appreciated and rated.I remember when you posted a photo of the man ;0). I vote for posting his nomination also.
You sold him very convincingly! And I agree, gayness is not a deterrent. :D
Dorinda, it's been done so well here by other women, LOL. But, I let him read it.

Marple - Honestly! It's like when one of these guys gets married! The ladies freak out and hate the woman! As if Tea Leoni marrying David Duchovny were the only reason he didn't run away with them. Okay, perhaps now that is a bad example.
Good job Jodi. I admired greatly the job AC did in New Orleans. I admire that he's a working journalist despite being a gazillionaire rich kid. I've always liked the dude a lot. His funny side is what few have seen. And as for the gay thing, I'm the same way toward Rachel Maddow. Like I would have a shot even if she weren't...
Greg - That is the best part. Here's a guy who really doesn't have to do ANYTHING for a living, but he's really trying to change the world. That's just sexy.

Most people don't even know or care "who he is" because of who he has chosen to be. If that doesn't rumble the cockles of your crotchal area, I don't know what should...
He is quite sexy. Perhaps a perfect cover would be Anderson Cooper and Walter Cronkite, who I have nominated.

I think what we're getting at here is that we need the fairness doctrine back and a better, more responsible press. That would be SEXY.
I'm starting to come around on Anderson, both as a journalist, and a hottie. But I'm still lukewarm, especially on the hot part. A lot of my gay friends agree with you, but the most I can muster is "fairly attractive."

Those last three pics illustrate what most turns me off on him, though: a kind of haughty, affected look. I like him much better when he cracks up and quits trying so hard.
Did you catch him yesterday with the dogs? AC had two reporters bring their dogs on as a sell for the Obama family. My heart has always thumped for AC but when that adorable WASP mouth declared that one of the dogs had a "shana punim" (pretty face for you non-Yiddush speakers) I nearly swooned! Straight/Gay/Bi I care not...
You wanna know something creepy? THE OLD APE HAS A HUGE OLD APE CRUSH ON ANDERSON. In fact a lot of the old apes at the retirement home think he's dreamy.
He doesn't "'rumble my crotchal", but I admire him greatly. He could have gone into "mommy's" business and lived off the Vanderbilt fortune, but he chose to make good with his life. Not sexy to me, but hellaciously admirable.
I agree - whatever his sexual preference is - he's the whole package and a babe to boot. I'm a lesbian - and I might change sweatshirts for a shot at Anderson (fat chance).
Us Texans think that AC is the sexiest man alive..after Harry Dean Stanton. (We have a soft spot for craggy old men who waltz with a broom in a Dolly Parton video) AC won my heart when he went to New Orleans and showed a lot of correspondents how to report on Katrina. He is very hot! Gay, smay! Send him to Austin! 6th Street beckons.
Little to quibble about with this piece, but I must add my $.02, about his funny side. Did you catch him with Kathy Griffin on her show? It was a while back, but watching him giggle with her does me in.
Great choice! He's definitely the sexiest anchor (okay, I put Jon Stewart on my list and I stand by him but he doesn't anchor real news.)
"foxhole buddy"...schoolyard snicker
I agree. He is absolutely beautiful. A specimen to be be sure. If he's gay, lucky for men. If he's not, well, as you said, what chance do we have anyway?
Who dug THIS out of the bin?

Jebus!
