Anderson Cooper. Anderson Cooper... Come on now...

[Blue_Roses]

I sat and watched him get blown around by Katrina and now Rita. Does he have a death wish?:shrug:

I've grown quite attached to Anderson since Katrina and he worries me.

1. he is

Superman, a true man of steel

[tulsakatz]

2. I like him too!

I would hate to lose a good journalist like him but then I have to believe that these guys know when to go inside.

[Must_B_Free]

3. its silly isn't it?

what is the real point of being in the storm? Media Whoredom.

[melody]

4. It's extremely important to have the best journalists on the front lines

He knows he has to be there...which makes him a real journalist.

[incapsulated]

5. I've been waiting...

For a live beheading from a flying STOP sign since this whole silliness of having these live, rain-soaked, "look at me I'm barely able to stand and have to shout to be heard we could DIE at any minute" coverage of hurricanes for years. I love Anderson and don't want anything bad to happen to him, of course. But they all do this. I guess it will take a death to stop it.

9. I know...I keep thinking one of these guys luck is going to run out

[MazeRat7]

6. We were just saying the same thing here.... GO INSIDE...... (n/t)

[MichaelHarris]

7. seriously

he's so tough he needs his own theme music, someone call Issac Hayes to write Anderson something catchy. Next time Anderson comes on play the Shaft theme in your head you'll see my point.

8. Been thinking the same thing:

Watched the 2 hours of News Night (was gone during 360), and toward the end of the program he could hardly keep his eyes open. I was talking to him on the teevee --- "Go inside now Anderson!! Please go inside! I don't want you to get hurt!"

[buzzard]

10. He may blow away he just said he has lost weight over the last month.n/t

11. Look, his dad died, his brother jumped off a building and his mom ...

... was the "poor little rich girl" who was tossed around from home to home.

Give the man a break. He's certainly not doing it for the money.
