Anderson Cooper Loses It On-Air During Segment on Peeing French Actor

You are right, Anderson, this is the kind of thing you see on YouTube.
See, last night, CNN newsman Anderson Cooper was doing a story on how prominent French actor Gerard Depardieu was allegedly caught peeing in an airplane aisle after flight attendants told him he couldn’t use the restroom until the plane took off. Cooper decided to put Depardieu on his “RidicuList” — a segment on his show reserved for, well, ridiculous people. But this wasn’t just any RidicuList segment. No, Cooper decided to intermingle every possible pee pun he could think of. And three-quarters of the way through, he lost it, laughing so hard he had to take a break, even giggling like a little girl. Near the end, he said something like this has never happened to him, classifying it as the type of thing you see on YouTube. How true.
The whole thing is TV magic, and it’s easy to see why Cooper has become the most-liked personality on CNN:

I dont care if your rich and have wealthy contacts, your a rich guy who got lucky to be where you are now. ….I have a feeling your ratings are slowly going down. Some ole poor hard working guy trying to support a family is not, and I repeat, is not going to want to ever hear that laugh again! He doesnt really give a **** about you but dont shove that laugh down him again! Or mine either…..You just showed what a spoiled little Richie Rich you really are…

Oh yes Republicans making jokes about gays is what’s wrong with the republican party.
Way to nail down the problems our country is facing.
Gay rights is a non-issue that gets a tiny portion of the population riled up, thanks to Dems.
Vote Dem again and stay one of the fools who have let the democratic party mix up our lives with issues of race, sexual preference and gender.
Go back and vote with the party who has systematically turned the USA into a nation of Communists. Cry your little gay eyes out for the freedoms this country has lost instead of crying about what somebody commented on a news site. Quit crying how your tiny portion of the population has it so bad. Selfish people like you and all the other “disenfranchised” have destroyed this country with your selfishness. Vote for the rabble rousing Dems again and see this country you live in BURN!
