The Teabagging Comment That Anderson Cooper Must Apologize For
In one of the most shocking comments uttered by a network anchor in recent history, Anderson Cooper referred to the recent tax protests by conservatives as "tea bagging". In fact, he used the term more than once, and the fact that his guests laughed at the term means that they understood exactly what Anderson Cooper was trying to say.

For those of you who don't know what "tea bagging" is, it involves oral stimulation of the male reproductive organs.

You can't make this stuff up.

This all happened when Cooper had David Gergen and Ali Velshi on his show to discuss the events of the day. Gergen was responding to a question by Cooper about the Republicans when Cooper blurted out, "Tea-bagging. They’ve got tea-bagging."

Gergen apparently got the joke and then continued by saying this:

Well, they’ve got the tea-bagging. But there was an interesting Politico survey -- it was out today that said that, you know, the president -- the trust level in the president on economic issues is extremely high, and, you know, and everybody else in the administration is well below him. But the Republicans are a little below that. So, Republicans have got a way -- they still haven’t found their voice, Anderson. They’re still -- this happens to a minority party after it’s lost a couple of bad elections, but they’re searching for their voice.

At least Gergen was trying to get the conversation back on track.

But in response to Gergen, Cooper made this offensive remark: "It’s hard to talk when you’re tea-bagging."

Why would it be hard to talk? You see, Cooper knew EXACTLY what the smear meant.

THIS is what we are to expect from our network news anchors now?

I don't see a problem here - Anderson was just factually relaying his personal experience

IN case you didnt know Anderson Cooper is a CIA agent hes also gay so he would be familiar with the term. Come on did you really think a guy that is who spanned his career to 40+ could be single and not married or without a girlfriend mentioned without raising some suspicion. No one should be surprised at this if you are keep drinking the tv kool aid i killed my set years ago im happy to be out of touch with the world

Re: The Teabagging Comment That Anderson Cooper Must Apologize For
What about the news segment someone post yesterday along with the Anderson Cooper video? I think it was MSNBC? The entire segment was full of double entendre…heck most of it was pretty blatant. I found it all pretty funny…and yes maybe a bit shocking…but funny none the less. Fox news is the only channel that took it so seriously. Other news outlets covered it but Fox news had a party…figurately and literally. I think that made it so other news outlets took the entire thing less seriously. It became a “fox” thing.

I don’t think Anderson owes anyone an apology. If you watch his show enough there are often wise cracks and sly jokes when the news is less serious. And yes I watch AC360. Its so-so on the news…although some stories I think they do a good job on…usually their special segments. I just watch certain news shows for the personalities. Heck used to watch Glen Beck when he was on CNN because I thought he was funny as hell sometimes.
