Funniest comment yet heard regarding Anderson Cooper -- and it wasn't even a snark! [View all]
I had to share this brief exchange I had with a couple of friends on Facebook regarding the "news" that Anderson Cooper had officially come out.
FRIEND #1: So, to play Devil's advocate for moment, how is anything changed by this news?
ME: Hard to say, specifically, although I can only think it will boost his journalistic credibility if he is not seen as purposefully hiding this aspect of himself. Although, if he really wants to boost his journalistic cred, he should consider leaving CNN (but that's another discussion).
FRIEND #2: Yeah, but right now, Cooper is the only thing holding it all together over there. I mean, is it fair if Atlas shrugs?

At which point I promptly showered my monitor with the soda I had just taken a sip of.
