To the surprise of very few and the dismay of millions of American housewives who would prefer a silver-haired articulate lean man-machine who probably smells good all of the time compared to that grotesque hairy-backed beast over there butt-welded to the barcalounger when he’s not dispensing “forty seconds of pleasure” in the conjugal bed, Anderson Cooper admitted that, given his druthers, he prefers his genitalia of choice to be more outie than innie.
Hearing this, Brent Bozell, who got his start serving under closeted gay Terry Dolan, sent his wingman Tim Graham on a gay spelunking tour of Anderson Cooper’s homoeuvre looking for examples of Anderson covertly shoving his Cooper down America’s throat.
First, according to Graham, here are the pertinent quotes (YOU LIE, ANDERSON!) that Cooper gave for hiding his gayness in plain sight for all of these years:
…as a society we are moving toward greater inclusion and equality for all people, the tide of history only advances when people make themselves fully visible.
[...]I’m not an activist, but I am a human being and I don’t give that up by being a journalist.
[...]I’ve never wanted to be any kind of reporter other than a good one, and I do not desire to promote any cause other than the truth.
…and, after peeking through the media glory hole, here are a buttload of Cooper’s crimes against opposite marriage that Tim came up with:
On June 30, 1997, then-ABC reporter Anderson Cooper provided a long, sympathetic portrait of two elderly gay males marching in New York City’s annual Gay Pride parade. Carole Simpson introduced the story: “The question of legalizing gay marriages has become a political issue this year, but for many gay couples a longtime committed relationship is as sacred as a marriage.” No one opposed to gay marriage was invited to appear.
On November 28, 2007, Cooper began moderating a Republican debate by telling the viewers at home “all the questions tonight come from you.” Standing up in the audience after being flown in by the debate organizers, retired general Keith Kerr threw a hardball question at the Republican contenders about the “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy toward gays in the military. He listed his military credentials and proclaimed he was gay, and then said “I want to know why you think that American men and women in uniform are not professional enough to serve with gays and lesbians?” After several candidate answers, Gen. Kerr interrupted and began lecturing the Republicans on how insensitive they are to gays in the military. Bloggers quickly discovered Kerr was a Hillary Clinton supporter, and not just a supporter, but a man whose name was listed as part of the Clinton campaign’s Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Steering Committee. CNN claimed they had no idea.
Shorter: Anderson Cooper should have known that Kerr was a gay who worked for well-known lesbian Hillary Clinton.
– On April 14, 2009, Cooper crudely joked with David Gergen that the Tea Party were “tea-baggers,” crude sexual slang for testicles on someone’s face. “It’s hard to talk when you’re tea-bagging,” Cooper said.
– On March 11, 2010, Cooper heralded the “extraordinary transformation” of transgender activist Chastity “Chaz” Bono – meaning her breast-removal surgery. Cooper oozed, “In a rare interview, he [Chastity] talks about life as a man and the journey he’s still undergoing.” He used the politically correct terms in softball questions: “And you talked about top surgery. What was that process like?” He asked Bono if she was happy and how she felt about shaving.
Shorter: Tim calls his ‘moobs’ and if it’s good enough for Tim, it’s good enough for Chaz.
– On October 6, 2010, Cooper tossed softball questions at gay University of Michigan student body president Chris Armstrong, and labeled him “remarkably strong” in light of attacks he received online from Michigan Assistant Attorney General Andrew Shirvell, after crusading against Shirvell in five out of his last seven programs. Somehow, the student government in Ann Arbor was top national news to Cooper, if to no one else.
Shorter: Because of Anderson Cooper, Andrew Shrivell, a Michigan assistant state attorney general, was unfairly discharged for cyber-stalking a gay college student from work and then lying about it, but he was actually exercising his freedom of association and speech just like the founders (who were visionaries) intended even though the internet and homosexuals had yet to be invented in the late eighteenth century.
There you have it, Anderson Cooper’s fifteen year reign of homosexual indoctrination so subtle and devious that it flew under your Aunt Sophie’s gaydar and now she knows why Anderson Cooper will never settle down with a nice girl like, say, Jodie Foster because I hear she’s available.
Such a lovely girl … just hasn’t found Mr. Right.

Double “WAS” there, Mr. Bogg. No harm done, just bein’ a pedant. I’ll move along now.
Well, shucks, if we’re pointing out minor typos, might as well fix “that is” to “that it” in the next paragraph.
Minor typos aside, it was a dandy read as usual.
Not to mention the “‘s” in “he prefers” in the first paragraph.
Pretty sure Wolf Blitzer won’t be next.
Ya Gotta wonder about the compulsion they have to keep proving how big of assholes they can be.
Bozell deserves some kind of lifetime achievement award for his efforts in assholery.
Tough, but literate, crowd.
I’m pretty sure the only one on earth who didn’t know Mr. Cooper is gay is Gloria Vanderbilt.
Yeah, I bet they don’t get a lot of that over at Big, Dead Breitbart’s Book Groupe & Chest Beating Shoppe, where “like” is considered a multi-syllable word and thus counts double in a blog entry.
So, when is Mr. Cooper going to present Teh Gay Agenda, on his wildly popular TV show?
Inquiring Republikkanz need to know!!!
It is a source of continual amazement how everything becomes crystal clear when viewed through the wingnutoscope.
Also, too – cue the Westboro Baptist Church picketing of CNN headquarters.
“See? There’s no conspiracy any more, it’s right out in the open!”
Anderson Cooper is gay?
On Newsroom a couple nights ago they addressed this issue. Sometimes there aren’t two sides to a story. Sometimes one side is just plain right. Why give airtime to someone who’s wrong?
Wrong! Tea-bagging is crude sexual slang for testicles in someone’s mouth.
Jesus, these hacks can’t get anything right.
I find the nude Spongebob creepy.
I don’t get the obsession with figuring out who has what sexual preference. Unless you’re planning on sleeping with the person why would it matter? As for the idea that it is a sin, big deal. The Bible states we are born sinners and by God’s grace our sins are forgiven. So everyone who claims they are a Christian hyperventilating over whether gay is a sin ought to re read the Bible. (shrugs)
Needless to say Bozell “pings” right off the charts.
FWIW… Cooper was out until he got his CNN gig. Then the curtain was drawn.
He also “outed” himself on air a few years back when the gay marriage issue was a wedge issue. He was interviewing some proponant and made the mistake of saying “We only want…..” instead of “The gays….”
He has also dont story after story about gay youth and its one of his causes it seems.
Just when Anderson comes out, Andy Griffith dies.
Coincidence…or, conspiracy?
Andy!
He’s wearing shoes and socks, isn’t he? Which, considering he has no place to put pants, is as much as one can reasonably expect. Unless you’d like him in a toga.
Clearly Brent has too much time on his hands. A lot of these professional rightwad fusspots would be much happier doing physical jobs. They’d be tired, and feel like real men at the end of the day, instead of sputtering and pouting, and making everyone else jumpy and cranky. True, we get to laugh at them through TBogg’s good offices, but how’d you like to be stuck in the same workplace with Brent as he drills down, ever downward, into the next liberal sinner’s internet musings? It would be like being in the next cubicle to some kind of cut-rate digital Torquemada.
Hopefully Brent never learns that pedophile Rush Limbaugh fuma cigarros muchacho pequeño haitiana…
At least Sponge Bob doesn’t flaunt one of these…
“Poor Kathy Griffin!”
– someone’s mom, right now
Kathy speaks.
I love your Wee Proofreaders’ Coterie, T! They are so charming.
Goddammit Teddy!
Howcanonesleepknowingtheresanundottediorforfucksakesnocommainthepixelacommadesires?
The horror! The horror!
Oh, Anderson, you can shove your agenda down my throat any day.
[Goes back to writing "Mrs. Anderson Cooper" over and over again in his trapper keeper.]
This is how the Republicans browbeat the media into doing things like giving Senate Republicans — who are in the minority — much more air time than they do Senate Democrats.
Right. Because all those stories about gay youths being bullied, committing suicide etc. wouldn’t be real news stories unless Cooper made them his “cause.”
Wait, Cooper wasn’t already “out”?
Hot damn, I think this means I’m psychic!
To approximately the same degree that predicting the sun will rise in the East tomorrow makes you psychic.
Oh, well done!
I salute you.
Please correct me if I’m wrong, but didn’t the wingnuttier faction of the conservatards self-identify as “Teabaggers” around that time?
Why yes. Yes, they did.
Ooopsies.
Being gay matters?
