Anderson Cooper has seen it all – war, famine, drought: the works.
Still, the veteran journalist seems absolutely flabbergasted by Republican vice-presidential hopeful Sarah Palin’s wild – and nonsensical – assertion that her role as Alaska’s Governor and proximity to Russia translate to foreign policy experience.
Watch his disgust while discussing Palin’s interview with Katie Couric on the matter.

It’s about friggin’ time journalists start acting like journalists ans pointing out that the emperor has no clothes.
Palin is a religious extremist whose pastor burns witches (is this the Middle Ages?). Religious extremists crashed planes into the World Trade Center. Why would any sane person allow her anywhere near the nuclear weapons codes?

Funny how the one thing that got me out of my state of disbelief was the bout of laughter that came to me after seeing Coops state of disbelief.

It’s incredible that this person running for Vice President can’t put together a complete sentence. From time to time we’re all guilty of bad grammar, but this woman doesn’t seem to have a full grasp on the English language. It’s like she speaks in some bizarre form of Alaskan Ebonics.

I am stunned that Anderson Cooper is stunned at mommy-Governor (Sarah) Palin’s idiocy. Wave to Russia, everyone!

That look was the perfect embodiment of how myself and I’m sure most of the people watching felt after listening to…whatever she just tried to say there :p That’s why Cooper’s the best ^_~

I was watching AC360 live when AC pulled the perfect WTF?! face after Palin’s nonsensical response. Anderson was more flabbergasted by Palin than he was when Erica Hill showed a clip of Sharon Osbourne saying she wanted to have sex with him.

Anderson (Vanderbilt) Cooper ? Really ! I cant think of a better reason to vote for McCain/Palin than having that pansy Coop be against them. He may be a five star cock sucker but major brain…dont think so.

Uh, GARYNYC, mind explaining what that homohating diatribe was all about, huh?

Anyone questioning Anderson Cooper’s abilities
and experience (as well as his lineage) needs to read his book “Dispatches from the Edge”
or, read any of his mother’s autobiographies to confirm that his immediate family is thoughtful, talented and worthy of respect.

Oh, god, his expression. I love it. How he schools it to even that degree is beyond me. Everyone watching at home is just shaking their heads, slack-jawed.

my aunt with down syndrome was smarter than palin.

america you need all the help you can get, that woman is an idiot, no change to who’s running your country at the moment i suppose!
Candy
Fuck Anderson Cooper that closeted albino freak!
Nitesurf
No! Fuck Sarah Palin AND John McCain for foisting that fool onto his ticket and thereby endangering this country. Thank you Anderson for wordlessly expressing what most people are starting to feel about Palin.

Yes many of us that post here are accustomed, when a person has no other true means of insulting us being called a cocksucker
try something new,
as for Candy ( I hope that is not your real name poor thing) someone sounds a little jealous
I think Anderson Cooper tried to show a little restraint after hearing that nonsensical answer, I mean I would have laughed out loud and asked “this is a joke, right?”
julian
Oh Cooper. That face.

Palin as Vice President: Very scary.
I think it is becoming clear, even to Ms. Palin, that she has accepted a role for which she is not qualified.
Brian
So what? Palin had a bad interview. It was only a few months ago that Obama did terrible interviews. He also said the USA has 57 states.
Nitesurf
Palin is a fool, plain and simple.
