5. This is AT LEAST the 3rd, if not 4th time CNN has had this poll.

They keep asking the question and they obviously aren't getting the answers they want.

Well, if they want to keep asking, I will keep telling them NO it wasn't worth it!

8. Cooper has his own money -- doesn't need to fawn

He's the son of Gloria Vanderbilt.

An excerpt from his bio:

Because of Cooper's background as a war correspondent for Channel One News, he was sent to Afghanistan after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks to report on the U.S. military conflict and to Qatar where he reported on the testing of CENTCOM's new mobile headquarters.


Most recently, as a weekday anchor, Cooper was the only Western journalist to interview Liberian president Moses Blah on the day he took office.

Before joining CNN, Cooper was an ABC News correspondent and host of the network's reality program, The Mole. Cooper anchored ABC's live, interactive, overnight news and interview program, World News Now as well as providing reports for World News Tonight, 20/20 and 20/20 Downtown. Previously, he was a New York-based correspondent for ABC News, reporting primarily for World News Saturday/Sunday.


Cooper joined ABC from Channel One News, where he served as a reporter and producer. During that time, he was a chief international correspondent, reporting and producing stories from Bosnia, Iran, Israel, Russia, Rwanda, Somalia, South Africa and Vietnam. He also reported national stories that were broadcast over the Channel One News school television network and seen in more than 12,000 classrooms nationwide.


Cooper has won several awards for his work, including an Emmy Award for his contribution to ABC's coverage of Princess Diana's funeral; a Silver Plaque from the Chicago International Film Festival for his report from Sarajevo on the Bosnian civil war; a Bronze Telly for his coverage of famine in Somalia; a Bronze Award from the National Educational Film and Video Festival for a report on political Islam; and a GLAAD Media Award for Outstanding TV Journalism for his 20/20 Downtown report on gay high school athlete Corey Johnson.


Cooper graduated from Yale University in 1989 with a bachelor of arts degree in political science. He also studied Vietnamese at the University of Hanoi. Cooper is based in New York City.

9. I'm impressed

hmmm, think he'd accept Press Secretary for Wes Clark :)

[PDittie]

10. 360 is IMHO one of the better things on CNN

Cooper is terrific compared to that infernal Tweety.

[juajen]

14. Thanks for posting that bio

I do like Anderson Cooper. His show was great tonight. I now watch Lou Dobbs and AC every night. Both are doing good things for America, even if LD is a proclaimed Republican.

[Devlzown]

11. I think he's a hottie!

:smoke:

[pansypoo53219]

12. ain't that the truth

big hottie on my list. John Stamos? no way.

[mainer]

15. yes yes yes!

I've long thought he's hot. Mostly because he's not afraid to go gray, and he has those hilarious asides he sometimes mutters.

Does anyone else think he sounds like David Duchovny?

[NewJeffCT]

16. question on his bio - married?

I see the same stuff over & over, but not if he is married or not (or dating). It would settle a bet I had a while ago if I knew he was or was not. (no, nothing sinister)

[hlthe2b]

17. I had heard he was gay...?

No?
