kathy griffin teaches anderson cooper some manners.

[RepublicanElephant]

watching anderson cooper's new year countdown show, kathy had to correct him when he said "bill and hillary clinton" would throw the 2009 switch at midnight est.

kathy says "bill and hillary? how 'bout mr. president?!"

anderson stood corrected.

kathy's great!

[Cash_thatswhatiwant]

1. they're great together.

theyre talking to a drag queen now.

[begin_within]

2. So for the record, it's "Bill and Mr. President Clinton"

[RepublicanElephant]

;-)

[Sultana]

[OhioBlue]

3. or Senator Clinton and the former Pres?

not that I'm offended by the familiarity in using first names - I'm not. Just thought I would add another appropriate address?

5. Richard Quest is drunk

[RepublicanElephant]

6. or sky high. remember his drug bust in central park? nt

?

[JI7]

8. haha, i remember that, i am still glad he is back on CNN

he is always fun to watch.

[JI7]

7. i just tuned in, Kathy is too funny

i love how she makes jokes of other CNN hosts.

[MadMaddie]

9. If you haven't had a chance to see Kathy in concert

and you don't mind cussing.....she is damned funny. We saw her in Seattle in November and I laughed my ass off....she says out loud what we are thinking.

I think Anderson doesn't really know how to take her sometimes...

[ZombieHorde]

33. she says out loud what we are thinking

"I wish that I was home watching a zombie movie or playing video games; God, I hope that no one tries to start a conversation with me."?

Strange act.

[RepublicanElephant]

10. president and senator clinton preparing to throw 2009 switch at times square!

:party:

happy new year!!!!

[merh]

11. is it me or does that Toshiba

part of the 2009 sign kinda bother anyone else?

oh and Happy New Year! :toast:

[shayes51]

29. I thought the same thing.

Happy 2009 to you, too!

[RepublicanElephant]

13. kathy just asked "who's the most unreliable source on 'reliable sources'?"

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[question everything]

14. Anderson Cooper appeared uncomfortable in this scene

I don't think that small talk and banter is his "thing."

[JI7]

15. i think he is ok with it but he is nervous she will make a reference to him

being gay.

[Withywindle]

17. I do wonder why he doesn't just come OUT already.

It would do a lot of good, and I think his career can take it, IMO.

[JI7]

18. he is actually out , but he doesn't make mention of it in public

and i don't mean in wanting to publicly discuss it but it seems like he goes out of his way to avoid making any mention of it. he did once slip and say "us" or "we" when talking about gay rights, but it was by accident for sure.

and this is what i thought of when he had those criticisms of Rachel Maddow and whether he has issues with her more open with who she is.

[Withywindle]

19. OK, that makes sense.

Cause I could have sworn there was an article about him in the Advocate a couple years ago, but now it seems he's semi-closeted again...? But maybe not. You can't put the toothpaste back in the tube. I can understand him not wanting to be The Gay News Anchor, tokenism and all that. But, dude, pride is a good thing, that's why there are parades for it, y'know?

[Cash_thatswhatiwant]

20. Well Kathy Griffin made reference to it on Larry King when he asked if all gay people should . come

out. She said that in some countries, if you go over there, they're not as open to gay people as some are in the United States. I mean it means death in some countries. I think she was really referring to why Anderson doesn't come out publicly. He may think if he goes overseas to a very traditional country he may not be safe.

[question everything]

36. Or he prefers to keep his personal and professional life separate

and it is really no one's business. It were different if he had incorporated homophobic remarks on his show, or let homophobic guests spread their bile. But otherwise it really is no one's business.

[JohnnieGordon]

21. Rachel's proving you can be out without being pigeonholed

My honest opinion is she just has more courage and is more concerned about gay equality than he is. And that does make me dislike him. If Rachel can do it, he can.

[Divine Discontent]

22. ditto. I wanna like him, & it's not his job to stand up for rights, but he is famous, and his voice

would help!

[question everything]

35. Is he? Not that there is anything wrong with it..(nt)

[AirmensMom]

23. I had to change the channel.

I thought she was the most obnoxious person I'd ever seen. Can't imagine why people like her ... but I guess obnoxious is "cool" these days. :shrug:

[a kennedy]

25. normally obnoxious isn't cool, but knowing KG, and how long she's

been doing it.....she's the only one who I tolerate it from, others try to do it, she's the master.

[Myrina]

27. I know ... I can't watch her either.

Ever since she was RuPaul's "co host" on Ru's VH-1 show (seems like a hundred years ago) ... Griffin's voice and abrasive, bitchy manner makes me cringe.



:hi:

[NashVegas]

26. Comedians Eat Teleprompter Readers for Lunch

I watched a little bit last night, it was funny to watch Anderson try to keep up with her.

[bigwillq]

28. I love Kathy Griffin.

I think she is so funny. She's not for everyone's tastes but I think she is great!

[ColbertWatcher]

31. And she did it with such class too, and in no way homophobic! n/t

[Hieronymus]

32. Kathy teaching anyone good manners is a joke. The woman is crass.
