Good Evening Anderson, Erica. Looking forward to update on Ms. Calif., and more on long life. Oh, and Pythons rule! Thanks for that.

OMG! How could I forget to mention Earth Day! Thanks Esma for the shout!

Hallo bloggers, tweeting tweeters, and facebook funzies! Hope your day went really swell and spectacular...

A very special hallo to Anderson and Erica as well!

goodevening everyone. i so do not get the importance of the beauty contestants comments? she is simply believing what she was taught instead of thinking for herself.

Hey everyone: Anderson, Erica, David Gergen, all at AC360, the Tribe, and all the bloggers!
Happy Earth Day!!!

Hey All. Hey Anderson, Erica, David G., twitter/facebook buddies, and the rest of the best bloggers in the world.

Happy Earth Day!

Hi Anderson, Erica and fellow bloggers!

We're half way through the week.....Woo Hoo!

Good evening, Anderson, Erica, David, Jack, and bloggers!

Disturbing news in the Craigslist killer case.

Hiya Anderson, Erica, my smartees..Good evening to all!

This Craigslist killer had a crazy double life! It all seems like a real live episode of Law & Order..but in this great country, hes innocent till proven guilty..

Good evening Anderso, Erica, David Gergen, AC 360 Team, and all bloggers.

Happy Earth Day to you all.

It is disgusting how Markoff keeps victims' item as a souvenirs of successes. It is so sick.

how ironic, his souvinirs in a gray's anatomy book.

That information is pretty chilling. Sounds like the makings of a potential serial killer. Glad to see he is not running around.

good evening Anderson and crew...

Happy Earth Day! I look forward to another interesting night–maybe another surprise?

Hey Anderson, Erica, and bloogers

It's Earth Day!

Good evening Anderson, et al, (& Erica David G.)

Good evening fellow bloggers! Glad to be with ya tonight.

Pakistan is rapidly becoming a nightmare....looking forward to 360 report.

Good evening Anderson, Erica and all my fellow evening conversationalists! Hope everyone had a good day!

I'm a big believer in innocent until proven guilty and being from ND I tend to see the good in everybody...but the case against this guys seems to be pretty incriminating!

It's great that they caught Markoff (even though he (allegedly) killed someone), because the evidence against him sounds like he'd only get more and more violent.

This Craigslist killer story sounds so much like a Law and Order SVU plot.....hmmmm should make a suggestion for that when this settles down.

Good evening everyone!

Why does everyone keep saying this guy has "preppy good looks." I think he's a little geeky and plain looking frankly.

wow! This Craigslist killer is really creepy...I feel bad for the fiancee. I hope she is strong enough to face this "nightmare" and be able to move on. I also hope that he is found guilty and put away for good.

He looks so unassuming. pretty frighting...

Ted Bundy and the Green River Killer looked like 'regular guys' too.

Wow, sounds like they just might have caught a serial killer before he escalated much. He sounds really creepy.

Preppy good looks sometimes disguise a sociopath. Ted Bundy was clean-cut and intelligent, but completely twisted.

I use Craigslist often but women need to think twice before going to a hotel room with a stranger. Just spells danger.

The Craigslist killer reminds me of Dexter from the TV show.

What's scary is that he had a double life. One that was supposedly happy and another one that was dark and scary.

Greetings everyone! Happy Earth Day!!

good evening everyone.. .thanks for joining us tonite.

Hi Anderson

I never understand why people are all in disbelief when someone who looks "clean-cut" is accused of something horrible. Psychos come in all kinds of packages. And the more successful ones do tend to be good looking or at least very charismatic, one of the two at least and maybe both.

Phillip Markoff is already having his trial on air. Evidence is being brought to light in the news hour instead of the courtroom. When his trial does finally come, will the court be able to find an impartial jury?

This poor girl has in the course of a couple of days had her whole life crumble down around her...it doesn't surprise me that she is trying to defend her fiance and that she is staying with him for now...

Re: Craigslist suspect: I heard an interview with the Suffolk Co DA on a local station. The Boston Police had him under surveillance for a couple of days and made the arrest when it looked like he was trying to leave the state. Sounds like they have a lot of evidence tying him to the robberies and murder.

Wow....i really don't trust the pretty boys at Starbucks anymore.....

The world really is made up of crazy perverted weirdos. The girls that find the nice guys are just lucky.

Good evening Anderson, Erica, Team 360 and Fellow Bloggers –

Living a double life? Scary stuff - makes one wonder if we ever really "know" another person...

News out of Pakistan today is not good.....

But how well do you really know someone?

interestingly enough.. these sociopaths are manipulative, smart enough to know NOT to be noticed and some are very intelligent.

Good evening Anderson, Erica and the everyone at AC360!

Hope everyone had an awesome Earth Day

sounds like classic sociopath

Good Evening Anderson. Nice to be here.

@Julie – Boston I have too and had nothing but good experiences. Then again, I wouldn't just go to a hotel room to meet someone. Meeting in public is the safer way to go.

Good evening Randi. Thanks for your report.
If he is ended up the killer, I feel really sorry for his fiancee. He must be very good in concealing his second life that she is still defence him. She is also a victim in this, too.

Wow Sarah Palin yet again??? Can we get past it already!
So sad Levi had to stoop so low as to demeane the mother of his child!

Markoff is toast. I am sure there are many people who live "double lives" without being detected.

anderson, so glad you could join us tonite. j/k

That interview with Levi was very good! Interesting stuff. Watch out Bristol – Here come's Levi with his lawyer.

Craigslist killer sounds alot like the Canadian husband-wife murderers, Bernardo and Homolka. They were a good looking couple who abducted school girls and assaulted and murdered them.

I totally agree we need to know who were spending time with or who were dating. We need to know the true and know about their background and such stuff. It's just creepy spending time with somebody who may be a twisted person behind the public eyes.

Hey, Anderson. You just made me laugh out loud with that Miss California remark ("...and what it's like in her country.") Nice burn.

Good evening to everyone.

Interesting story about that guy. I'd be curious to hear more from that lab partner who sounds like she saw through him? Maybe CNN can get an interview?

Hi Anderson! Any information about the Craigslist family and what they have to say about him? How about family mental history, abuse?...

Greetings to All! I find that the ability for someone to hide their 'monster' side from their loved ones is terrifying.As susceptible targets,vulnerable women have their planned futures and sometimes their lives taken from them.I would think they would be afraid to ever trust anyone again.That is, if they lived through the ordeal.

RE: Craigslist Killer Fiance...no one wants to believe they were going to marry a psychopath!

Happy earth day Anderson, Erica , bloggers and AC360 team

Really creepy because I am very manipulative....does this put me at risk to be a sociopath?...... must try and re-evaluate my personality..lol

Look, we've all got secrets. Let's not all pretend we're perfect and don't have any skeletons in our closets.

Anderson,

"What does that say"

It says that he is a disgusting weirdo freak who needs to be in jail yesterday!

Hello Bloggers Megan and Anderson and Erica

This is so creepy how well can you know a person when dating them this alleged killer is ordinary in a creepy way.

@Gayle...I don't think one "hides" the other side of their personality. We all have alter egos.

His finace is living in denial. It is the wives and lovers who are the last to know and the last to accept it.

hi, everyone. more than half-way to the wkd

I don't understand why people say that Markoff looks like someone you can trust. Most sereial killers look like him.

Hello Anderson and fellow bloggers

well, obviously this guy wasn't as smart as he thought..he's been watching too much crime dramas.

Re Markoff.
Read Robert Ware's book "Without Conscience" and remember psychopaths are EVERYWHERE and there are things you can do to be aware, particularly as women. Not that Markoff is guilty, it just made me think of this group in our population...very scary.

I think Markoff's girlfriend doesn't want to admit that he did these terrible things simply because she'll be losing her future doctor. She has been with him through med school. Now she'll never get her pay off.

Actually, Anderson, the concept of keeping "souvenirs" is very common in relation to violent criminals. I actually don't know of a sociopathic killer who hasn't done it.

On the fiance, someone needs to tell her that there's no such thing as a person who "wouldn't hurt a fly." Very gullible. I feel bad for her.

all of these crazy crimes that are being committed (allegedly, of course) actually make sense to me... well, at least i can understand why this 'Craigslist Killer' guy kept "momentos"... anyone ever read the Lovely Bones? really, all of these murders and crimes that somewhat remind me of murder mysteries are really starting to freak me out...

These latest murder stories (in fact most murder stories like these) creep me out. I really wish the media would not give so much attention to these ugly incidents.

I don't mean in any way to trivialize the suffering this man is putting others through, but"Trophies"? "souvenirs"? Sounds exactly like Voldemort in Harry Potter!

Understand how there is someone that seems to be mild mannered. Some people hold all of their emotions and then they snap...

People are not allways what they seem there had to be signs of behvoiral problems anger issues to say the laest..

Markoff "mental Problems" Check his past! Probably some strange thing happened to him as a child or maybe he just has mental problems!
Has anyone spoken to his parents? I read one girl he was in High School with said he was teased and he was a bully to others as well!
He seems to think everyone is beneath him?

The only person to blame for this is Markoff (if he's guilty *cough cough*), not the victims, not the fiancee.

Hey Erica! Thats good news!

I heard the conversation about the wives/girlfriends ....are we really amazed they dont know. Honestly, has anyone ever known anyone who TELLS they are a mass murderer or child molestor? Really ? Why do we always seem surpised that the closest people didnt have a clue.

Evening Anderson, Erica everyone. Happy Earth Day to you all eventhough I got distracted by the international news today. But managed to enjoy a few earth day reports.

Trotting out all the nightmare guys. Ok but this person has not even been tried yet. I agree it's a strange case, though.

Anderson, my comment is that Miss California's answer wasn't all that gracious, but she was honest, and tried to be respectful. Oh I mean you could see this different ways. People get kind of rough on each other.

Hi all,

I like that man who commented about the "all American sociopath". He's so right. They are experts at image management, isn't that what he said?

Ms. USA:

When speaking to an entire nation, a neutral response can have as much influence as voicing one’s own personal beliefs except a neutral response will win favor from everyone. Can't loose this way...

Hey Erica i know the week is half over it's just Wednesday but don't worry Friday will be here before you know it. Time Just Fly Like The Wind!!!!!!!!

Greetings All!

Pakistan is a disaster; Obama administration must look at the long run and try to load India in case of Pakistan becoming a terrorist state.

Susan Boyle just bought some new clothes. She's fine. I would do the same thing. She will definitely be able to afford a whole new wardrobe when the money starts rolling in.

Good evening, Anderson Cooper!

Hi, 360 team, friends, bloggers, everyone!

Today is Earth Day!
The Earth needs of both attention and care!

Heey Yall! Happy Wednesday

Maybe Markoff just wanted to break out of his "good boy" image, and do something that no one would ever expect him to do...like to kill someone.

Evening Erica, A/C and Bloggers,

It's always the one you never expect to do anything but, why would that girl go there anyway. Especially off of Criiaglist.

i think this is very convenient that this Taliban story is coming out tonight – i just started a social/political art project and it involves Iraq, Iran and Afghanistan. maybe AC360 can help me with more information with this... =] actually, that story last night about the man allegedly trying to sell his daughter (the girl from Slumdog Millionaire) helped me out here too! you guys are amazing!

@Linda, I don't understand that either I trust NO ONE!

@Casey .Yes we all have alter egos,but not necessarily ones that take the form of a violent person or a killer.

hey erica! im still trying to convince myself today is wednesday and not thursday! oye! lol

I don't have a question, but I have to say that as soon as "Miss California" suggested that being gay was a "choice" she showed herself to be a loser.

As lame as it is, if someone wants to be "Miss America," no political question should be off limits.

I know a lot of people side with Miss CA for standing by her convictions, and others like me who believe in same sex marriage kind of think 'ugh'. But I agree that shouldn't have cost her the crown, being honest. But you know what? I think what cost her the crown was not being able to say her own thoughts coherantly. Is everyone else missing that? "Opposite marriage" "in MY country"...girl couldn't express herself clearly at all. And isn't the whole point of Miss America/USA to be a spokesperson?

I 'd hate having to be the one on the jury trying to decifer if he is guilty and hearing the evidence .

If Miss CA thinks her answer cost her the crown, perhaps she should change her negative views of same sex marriages.

360 is the best and most informative show. Anderson , Please don't ever leave cnn.

sociopaths are fascinating people indeed, Anderson... I run a Child and Adol psych ward and we can see who are the most likely to be on the news later in life. Like I said, they are very careful on what they do and say. Real smart kids. But one has to learn and understand why they turn out to be who they are–family history is important to know as well as earlier relationships with family.

Hopefully Pakistan can do something to keep the Taliban away...or under control.... yikes!

Happy Earth Day anyone done anything to conserve energy and better the envoironment?

Somehow the fact that this guy (allegedly) kept souvenirs doesn't surprise me. Happy people without serious issues keep medals, pictures, keychains, rocks, etc. It follows that someone would keep mementos from his victims. This might sound a bit off, but it's a lot like Voldemort in the Harry Potter series..... in the books he kept little things like a harmonica from the peolpe he tortured...

It's hard to believe that the Pakistani government, despite billions of dollars in aid from the United States to help fight "the war on terror", is allowing the Taliban to advance on their capital city. What's up with that? Taliban with nukes....there's a pretty picture.

Taliban well who could have guessed that? I really think Pakistan needs to stand up and take control and stop relying on someone else to save them!

This is just gotten out of control!

@Cristy...except a "neutral" response can make you look like a dummy–especially after your credibility takes a hit when parading around on high heels in a bathing suit (with blonde hair). This contest needs to go away–it's over the top in this day and age.

@chris sosa,

very true, they all keep souviniers. these keepsakes of theirs has often been the breaking evidence to actually convict them.

RE: Sharon...Sometimes, these folks mental wires seem to get crossed. Its a bad analogy, but sometimes, dogs are just violent...crazy violent. Its the old nature/nurture issue. Sometimes its both...or one, or neither.

If any one speaks a differnce of opinion why do they always get chatised for it bears no rreason not to weear the crown ipeople are entitled to thier opinions regardless aren't they ?

What the Taliban are asking for is insane.

Miss CA was only giving an honest answer. One which 55% of America agrees with, including Obama. She was robbed.

Well if you needed any proof that you cant make deals with terrorist I give you Pakistan as an example.

Of course if he's innocent he's not leading a double life.

Maybe his girlfriend isn't as practiced at defending him against a media onslaught as an experienced trial lawyer.

That "controversial" answer given by Miss California was probably the best thing that will ever happen to her – look who's getting all the attention. By the way, who is Perez Hilton anyway?

Leave Miss USA alone so what she spoke her opinon on the issue of same sex marriage it's not to say it interfears with her title .

One of the most important, intriguing and frightening stories today:
the Talibans increasing power and influence in Pakistan.

Octavoia Nasr, CNN's Sr Editor for Middle East Affairs, wrote a great blog earlier this month that defnitely resonates today:
http://ac360.blogs.cnn.com/2009/04/02/al-qaeda-under-the-bed/

I glad Ms. Calif believes here comments cost her the crown – now she can feel the sting of discrimination that gay men and women feel everyday.

the whole Pakistan problem really makes me wonder if the Cold War ever really ended....

Glad to have Peter Bergen speaking on this subject. Useful news!

Why is America not understanding threats and risks in advance..India was saying again and again from 90s onwards that situation will come to this point.

what bothers me the most about this craigslist killer case, is that there are no guarantees that this guy was working alone. what if he was doing this with someone – which means that there could well be someone still in the boston (presumably) area watching.

i would assume that things such as IP address and DNA would be involved in the alleged charges. or maybe he just did it, and was merely a psychopath who is now off the streets.

On Miss America -

Her answer – just the way she said it – was sloppy. So she has to admit that much.

However – I saw Perez on MSNBC saying all this crude stuff about her. It was then I realized that he only cared what her opinion was going to be. Even if she gave a grammatically crappy response (as she did) but she agreed with Perez – he would have given her a higher score no doubt. He tried to say that's not what his issue with her was but he was lying. He contradicted himself in that same interview. He wasn't making a lot of sense. He comes across as immature and crude.

The only thing this fued has done is got a few more people to pay attention to Miss USA. Too bad for the producers/directors that it was already over when the fued boiled over.

Anderson, Ericka I love the show. Happy Earth Day everyone lets do our part everyday.

@ David, Indiana

I agree with you. Miss California showed personality and courage to take such a stance politically considered in(correct), regardless of we agree or not with her.

Miss California was asked the question by an openly homosexual man...I understand that she was answering honestly, but it was really more of a tell them what they want to hear type question...

Pakistan is breeding the terrorists and they are getting out of controlthere is no reasoning

@Anderson - "Doesn't he watch cop shows?" LOL - was probably too busy planning his next crime to tune into Law & Order SVU!

People keep asking how those around Markoff, especially his fiance, didn't have a clue. The answer is, these guys are sociopaths. I recently learned the man in my life for the last 7 years had given me an alias & taken on a totally made-up persona for my benefit.. He is now being litigated for ID theft (mine & others), bank fraud, wire fraud, & postal fraud. Sociopaths are very smart & experts at exploitation. Markoff is innocent until proven guilty. However, recognizing him as a sociopath, I have no trouble at all believing this intelligent, good-looking guy could in fact be guilty.

People have been advising that Pakistan would be the next major hot spot. All we need is to be in Pakistan, Afgahnastan and Iraq. I don't envy those in charge.

So these are the people Obama thinks he can deal with? Good luck with that.

Re: Miss California, why should she be attacked for her answer? She shares the same view as everyones favorite president. Most people really don't want gays to be married, if they are truly honest. Me, I don't think marriage is all that great anyway. Never saw a very happy one, it is very rare to see a long marriage where two people still love and respect each other.

@Carole RE: Ms. USA,

She admits is cost her the crown but the diffrence is she is stood up for her beliefs in front of a Nation, and she is proud of her response. She would rather loose the crown to voice her positon to billions...

Giving a moronic answer cost her the crown!

Or, you know. Was the other girl prettier or something?

"Miss CA was only giving an honest answer. One which 55% of America agrees with, including Obama. She was robbed."

You're way behind on your poles. And the woman is clearly a biggot.

@casey, agreed, these pageants are so outdated. they do need to be stopped. its degrading to women, just cuz she can wear a bikini doesnt mean she can achieve world peace.

Why is USA allowing Taliban to creep further and further inside Pakistan? Do we think current Pakistan government will control these guys..

About Miss California, You go girl!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is the problem in this world. There is a lot of people not speaking up about their beliefs because there might be someone who does not agree with them. She is the woman I'd wanted to see represent the U.S. When she gave her answer, I stood up and clapped for her. She seems to have a VERY GOOD religious background and I am very proud of her. If she is ask if she would change her answer if asked the question again, I hope it would still be the same!!!!!!!!!

Pakistan is soon to be a weapons depot for the taliban...they need to wake up and let the U.S. military do the job!

Regarding Miss CA, I really don't think that it's what she said just how she said it. It was a poorly formulated answer.

The taliban with nukes is a scary thought...

Can we just stop talking about Miss California all together???

Just a suggestion. Thanks.

The Pakistan country is making war and nuclear wepons they are powerful and need to be stopped .

Happy Earth Day everyone!! Pakistan needs to step it up against the Taliban! What are they spending our billions of dollars in aid on exactly?

It is truly frightening to hear that about the increase in the Taliban's power and influence in Pakistan...very scary.

while the young lady in the beauty contest is certainly entitled to speak her mind, she wasn't really well spoken. i thought her answer was undiplomatically delivered.

Donald Trump has to be loving all the publicity!

Re: Miss California

Why are we focusing on someone who speaks her mind and sticks up to what she believes in? I am proud of her for standing up for herself!

Re: Perez Hilton

what a low class person who would do anything to get 30 secs of fame. Shame on you!

@Casey,

I agree...the contests are pointless today....I heard they used to have their roots based on Christian principles, but that was 50 yrs. ago...so Ms. California would have won then...but beliefs have changed over time...

Pakistan will do whatever suits Pakistan.

Miss California loss of the crown: Here's a thought maybe Miss California lost the crown because someone else out-rated her in overall pagent skills not just a simple question.

Miss California said what she believed and that is ok! We all have our opinions that is what makes America the great place it is! So why did the judge feel so inclined to dog this girl out just because he feels one way she feels another?

Ms. North Carolina...see I knew that!

Miss CA gave her answer POORLY. That's why she didn't win.

The Winner was on the Today Show....today.......She played the game smart and stayed out of the nonsense when asked about it.

Good evening Anderson, Erica & Randi. Markoff, if he is this evil sociopathic killer, was very good at covering up his psychological illness. It seems so strange to me that people this ill can manipulate and control others, like Markoff's fiance. She had no clue whatsoever?

I believe that equal rights movement for homosexuals lost some steps due to the idiotic comments by Perez Hilton.

So what is Mr Hilton's problem? Does he simply have a problem with people who disagree with him?

I agree with Gay marriage but I disagree with taking away my rights to my own opinion!

Let's stop blaming the fiance of craigslist killer for not knowing or seeing any clues. People who can do this are spectacularly good at compartmentalizing their lives. I was married to a compulsive gambler (sounds like this craiglist guy might be one too) and had absolutely no idea until all of our $ was completely gone. He is a lawyer, smart, charming, funny, personable. He could have murdered people too, for all I know. He really had completely separate compartments/lives.

Well the irony of the pageant is that the organizers say it "empowers women." But here is a woman that empowered herself to say what she felt and is being criticized for it.

I have no problem with Miss Cal stating her opinion. I am curious as to what country she thinks she is from.

The person has the right to have an opinion.

Gotta love when people ask a question and then tell you how you should answer. My g/f does that to me a lot!

Ms USA -

No matter whether a person agrees with her views or not - this is a free country and everyone has a right to their opinion - Although Ms. California could probably have worded her answer better, a judge should not score her based on whether her beliefs were in line with his. Now I know why I don't watch these shows.

And, Anderson - I believe the winner was Ms. North Carolina - and no, I didn't use Google!

I don't agree with Miss California on gay marriage, but Perez Hilton went too far when he called her derogatory names.

the homophobia storm is brewing commercial is super funny! Ridiculous...Stephen Colbert did a great parody.

I feel that Carrie(Miss California) spoke what she believed, she was honest and careful of what she would say. i dont think there should a big controversy about this issue...

@Erica – thank you for the link. terrifying story, actually. just reading further makes me nervous. in fact, i've started biting my nails again! and just when i thought i'd stopped...

That was a loaded question. She was nervous. She could be guilty of not articulating well but she gave an honest answer. Mr., Hilton is showing his ignorance and intolerance – just what our country needs more of...

@Isabel, I agree the earth needs attention and care, I love that you said that.

Pakistan has endured a lot to help the US in south Asia and Afghanistan. The Swat valley and Buner region are just a slim strip of land, but I feel SOS Clinton is sensibly and compassionately considering what his going on in Pakistan. It's worrying to hear Peter Bergen say Pakistan's economy is dematerializing. Maybe we need to appreciate the hardships people in Pakistan have suffered to help us. Also there's an expected pressure on Pakistan as the US increases troops in Afghanistan.

Ms. California should be attacked because she represents the entire USA–our country that is based on the constitution NOT ON RELIGION. She also incorrectly states that I chose to be gay.

What we didn't hear were the huge rounds of boos from the audience when she made that statement. NBC edited it out as it got replayed in later time zones.

So we finally have a girl that can speak her mind instead of same old answer "world peace"..and she looses a contest where she parades in a bikini. Our country is amazing.

Miss California – Too bad that she lives in my state. Darn!

An actor on Gray's Anatomy was fired for allegedly making a derogatory comment about one of the other actors. After he was required to make a public apology to the entire gay community. Why is alright for this gay judge to vilify this woman and make derogatory comments because she does not have the same views as he?

Miss California put her foot in her mouth. She should`ve kept her opinion to herself. Whether we want to believe it or not she should`ve been politically correct in her answer! What you truly believe you should share with your close friends and family!

We all heard her answer, she said that she lives in a land that can choose (wrong on that answer) and then injected a personal belief.

It was simply NOT a good answer...it did not expand on the issue, she showed a lack of diplomacy...etc.

Miss America needs to represent ALL of America!

Amen, Roland!
That's all I am saying...

All these pagents create such controversy first they fall they give opinoins and it's all over the crown has been tarnished.

How can she say what she said and then say she didn't mean it to be offensive? Everything she has said since the pageant proves that she didn't deserve to be "Miss America."

Perez Hilton had no business being a judge for Miss USA. I am not saying this because he is gay, it is that this guy has no credentials at all to be judging clothing and or looks of anyone!

I had no objections when Carson Kressley was a judge at the 2005 Miss Universe, because "fashion" is his business and he used to work for designer Ralph Lauren. Tim Gunn is another gay male who I think would qualify to judge a pageant because he is also in the "fashion industry" and he currently works at Liz Claibourne.

Parez Hilton is an example that shows that those who preach tolerance and diversity most are the least tolerant of those who have different opinions.

If Ms. California lost the pageant for anything, it was that she poorly articulated her reply. There were also more politically correct ways to reply without compromising her values.

How inappropriate for "Perez" to call that young lady names. What an insecure jerk. I am not homophobic, just anti-histrionic. Grow up.

Another thing...Why would someone so convicted be interviewing for the job positon of representing all....didn't she know the mission statement of Ms. USA before applying for this "job interview".

Similarly, when applying for a job, you do your research, you are relevent to the mission/purpose of the organization and you craft your response get the prize....

Ms. California implied that being gay is a choice. It is not.

She may not agree and still her opinion not be prejudice.

Opposite marriage? Like "the Iraq" and "the Afghanistan"...and um, um...*smiles*
Look, I don't think it was her stance on the issue as much as how she worded it (which was terribly).

There is no real free speech. We all must consider what we say & write. Now Miss California will only ever be Miss California.

Roland,

I agree. the problem i had with her answer was that she had to identify her belief as being due to what she was raised to believe in, she isnt thinking for herself. she answered it very clumsily.

Perez Hitlon is slimy no doubt he gossips and this is getting him more time on the tv. for publicity . pleeese!!

I find it amazing at the applause the answer got. I would like to poll the audience and ask why they clapped for her.

Happy Earth Day! We need to be the GOOD stewards of the planet!

Miss CA seemed nervous when answering the question and I think she meant to say "in my state" not "my country".

As a gay men I may not like the answer she gave because I disagree with it completely but this is a free country and she is entitled to her opinion.

@Brandi-I agree. Beauty pagents should fade away. We're going to judge a woman by her beauty and then give her money for that?

And where is the equal contest for men? Male body builders don't get schlarships for college do they? Nor are they asked about gay marriage.

I say don't ask the question, if you are not willing to accept the answer. It's pretty simple, I think this is far more complicated than it has to be.
Also judges need to be judged, if her answer caused her to not to be selected, that takes the objectivity out of the process.

This is a free country. She answered what she believes. Yea Ms. California!

I agree with Roland Martin on the Miss California controversy. She answered the question with what she believed, whether or not people agree with her they should applaud her for honesty.

@Fay...Yeah, Perez ultimately blew it. He had a lot of credibility going on and now he messed that up.

It's fair to ask the question as a current issue.

Anderson,
Hi!
I think being "Miss USA" shouldn't mean you can not have a mind or beliefs of your own. I see nothing wrong with Miss California expressing her own opinion in her own way.

Miss California may not agree and still her opinion not be prejudice.

So what?! Who the heck are any of those people that anyone they should determine how and what other people should feel?

She should have been prepared for such a question, especially with Perez as a judge. He had every right to ask it.

I think it was fair to ask the question, but it should have been asked to all contestants... Perez's name was picked at random, she didn't see his name on the card.

Question is....will we be talking about his if Miss Kansas answered the question the same way? or is it because it is Miss California who happened to get this question and the issue of Gay marriages is a hot issue in CA?

hummm....

I would like to add that the new Ms USA responded to the question on the today show the other day and she was a lot more diplomatic and articulate about it. She deserved to win

I agree completely with Roland Martin tonight...This is still America and everyone is still entitled to have their own opinion and I too am glad that she was honest about it...even though it was definitely one of those tell them what they want to hear question...I'm glad that she didn't

On Miss California, I respect her opinion. Everybody should be truth to one's believe, yet should also be able to accept the change that comes along with open mind. I think she did the right thing to stand for her believe.

For Perez, I do not like his respond to her answer. By talking harsh about her is so wrong. He had the right to ask that question, he sould have be open for the whole range of answer come after.

The problem I had with Miss California is that she said, "In my country..." She is entitled to her belief but she could have presented it better. Part of being #1 is how well you speak.

Here, I'll be diplomatic here, or maybe anger both sides – Ms. CA doesn't deserve to be Miss America, and Perez Hilton really shouldn't have been a judge, haha.

Perez only wanted 1 answer! That is clear from the interviews he's been giving. He's so crude and immature!

Maybe if he would've shut his mouth – then it would have been more clear how sloppy her answer was. But he made it CLEAR that he was looking for 1 answer.

At first I thought her response was the rite one, until I realized how many people got hurt by her words....She could have been more neuteral and not hurt people while getting her point across...

Hello Anderson...love your show

About Miss California...I congratualate her

It is not a question of homophobia, it is not a question of politics, and it is not a question of religion. It is a question of common sense.

Man was made for woman as woman was made for man...anything else is wrong and immoral.

Thank you for having the segment on the Miss America runner-up. This is totally making it up to me for missing the swimsuit competition because I was watching 60 Minutes.

Who is Perez Hilton?? I've never heard of him and from what I've seen of him, I don't want to see him again.

First, I'm sure the Miss USA questions are picked by producers, not a "celebrity blogger." And it's in poor taste for a judge to go on a crusade about a contestant..Aside from that her answer didn't make sense and showed she didn't understand the debate about it. "Opposite marriage" ??? " Her country"?? her country of what? California or her family? Plus, the other questions for the other contestants were quality political, and at least one of THOSE girls won.

There’s no way to prove that was the reason Miss California didn’t win, and considering there were 49 other contestants I thought it was a little arrogant of her to automatically assume she lost because the judges disagreed with her opinion. How does she know she would have been the winner out of those 50 beautiful ladies otherwise? She may have simply been beaten fair and square…there’s no way to know.

never say "no offense." you will always offend
the trick is to articulate your point of view in a more tactful manner

Perez Hilton got exactly what he asked for. Case Closed!

I believe that Perez Hilton did not ask a question that he wanted to hear the truth. Good job Miss California.

Perez Hilton is getting a lot of publicity for this. Could he maybe have asked the question knowingly that it would be controversial? Was it self promotion?

We should get rid of beauty pagents. They're too old fashioned. I would like to see something more up to date and not so...degrading...

Actually i'm kind of tired of the Miss USA story. If you wanna discuss gay rights, that's a valid issue and it's great to discuss that issue but I really don't care about beauty pageants. Come on does anyone care what these girls think?

The Miss America contestant have every right to say what she did and I would fight for her right to do so. I have a right to disagree. I also have the right to use the power of my vote to say so which is what Perez Hitlon did.

If "they" didn't want to hear her personal opinion, maybe they should not have ask contraversal questions. The fact that perez Hilton is hammering her for her personal opinion is sickening. This is America, and every person has the right to say what they think.

After all America is a free country ... the person may have a conservative view. This is not prejudice.

Why can't Miss California accept the facts.......you lost. Someone else won.

This story has been blown way out of proportion.

While her answer was poorly stated, it was her opinion, I think Perez Hilton was overly dramatic...

If you are in a contest to win why would you say something that would alianate a group of people?

I don't see why this thing with Miss California is a big deal. Whether you agree with her or not, she spoke her mind and said what she believes.

She should have answer the question much differently, rather than the way she answered it.

Yes, Ms. Cali lost because of her answer. It was inarticulate, contradictory, and "opposite marriage" what does that even mean?

I'm glad free speech also permits her to voice her opinion as she believes. Let's move on....please.

I am a big supporter of gay rights in pretty much every way, but even I think that the criticisms of her answer are unfair. Personally, even though her view is far from mine, I find her honesty refreshing.

situation in pakistan wouldn,t be better until they leave religion behind and country first. and Human right it doesnt matter who iam. religion is the second thing in live. or it is Human choice Pakistan and sudan are in the same situation.abusing people.I afraid of genocide in Pakistan because of religion.like what happened in south sudan for 22 years befor Darfor.between muslims and christians,what wrong if there is two brothers with difference idias..

@Velma I think the actor was fired not only from that remark, but also because he didn't get along with a lot of the other crew members after.
But if Miss California is able to make her opinion, Perez should be able to make his too... but he shouldn't be putting her down or being rude.

Taking heat for asserting your opinion is part of the walk. That's the risk you take when you say what you believe. Spare me on the boo-hoo posturing.

And this is the other current murder that totally creeps me out.

Really, i have to turn the sould down as the story makes me nauseous.

This story makes me sick to my stomach.

I still don't know why is the controversy on what miss california said at stage. the judge ask her opinion on something a she answer her opinion with clear mind. We people need to start think on respect the other people opinion and no make a scene on that.

Miss USA should be politically neutral. Miss California's answer was divisive. That it has created controversy is evidence that she should not be Miss USA.

I agree beauty pagents are not really nesesarry they use money for what ? i

The Miss California "controversy" shows how much the USA has become a nation of mediocrity. When it becomes detrimental to have your own opinion that isn't politically correct and more important to appeal to the masses than it is to believe what you feel is right, the reasons the USA was founded is lost!!

I agree with Mr. Signorile...I think Miss CA's inarticulate response was the problem...she obviously had no idea what she was talking about and the question is actually a big part of the competition...thanks...Jeff

The free speech argument here is unfounded. No one stopped Miss California from saying what she said. She's not being prosecuted for hate speech or anything else. She had the right to state her beliefs, whatever they happened to be. Winning the Miss USA pageant is not a right.

I can't listen to anything to do with Melissa Huckaby anymore, all I'm doing is getting furious and spitting venom. She's a monster. Period.

I also agree wit Roland Martian..this young lady is being branded because she answer by what she think is right... we live in a wold where freedom of speach is being taken away from us little by little if we don't agree with what the society has going than we are branded as right wings or people who aren't envoling with that world and that's very very sad

Mike…”Parez Hilton is an example that shows that those who preach tolerance and diversity most are the least tolerant of those who have different opinions.”

That’s an easy position for someone to assert considering their civl and constituional rights have been respected their whole life, while mine have not. Try living as a second class citizen with limited rights.

I pay taxes just like you do.

I doubt Perez is in this specifically for the publicity, its just a plus for him.

I rather learn about the true character of anyone who represents this country in any shape or form, than listening to politically correct lies. Way to go, Miss California!

Jishnu... I don't believe that the US has control over anything the Taliban is doing in either Afghanistan or Pakistan!

Miss California certainly does not represent the people of California with her "bibically correct" viewpoint towards gay people. If somebody should choose to live with somebody they love for life, shouldn't it be a special and sacred thing? Sorry, Miss California, but your point of view is as close to bigotry as anyone can get.

@Isabel yes, but in a public position, like Miss America, you do have to have the ability to be honest and respectful and gracious at the same time. It does seem surprisingly dramatic for the Miss America contest, usually kind of a delighful affair I think.

Tom Foreman covers all the bases

Roland has a good point about stating opinions. Get to the point, maybe no one expects any one to be right about everything.

Hiya,

I'm a little (lot) disturbed by Rolands indifference to gay marriage via the Miss America controversy. I thought he was a supporter of all civil rights.

I know Obama will come through in the end.

Darren

Beauty contestant...
No matter what a persons view, when asked a question, You should NEVER be penalized for answering the truth! ... I personally salute her for speaking the truth and her views on marriage which I also share.
remember... when the righteous stay silent, the wicked will rule.

It's a constituional right sto have an opinon so just leave it alone .

I really have no respect for ppl that prey on children..this woman is insane...

i wouldn't be surprised if this Melissa Huckaby had problems with multiple personalities. she's either 1.) a really good actress, 2.)she didn't do it, or 3.)she's really good at shutting things out.

i hope i never have to be part of a jury in case like this, it'd just about rip me apart, i don't know WHAT to think...

Melissa Huckaby is a very sick woman and needs some help!

That was straight up loaded question from the beginning, one that you know Perez knew he was going to ask from the get go. There was no way she could answer honestly and make friends with that answer.

How arrogant it is that Miss California thinks her answer cost her the crown. In reality, she is probably right...her answer made no sense..the question wasn't what did she think about gay marriage, it was did she think other states should follow the lead of Vermont and other states. Thus, it wasn't the fact that she is against gay marriage it was the fact that her answer made no sense whatsoever.

I feel sorry for the true winner, Miss North Carolina. Miss California is taking the excitement and glory from her and no matter what Miss North Carolina was the winner!

Yes, she has the right to say what she did, however, when in a competition that judges the quality of HOW you answer, not what you answer, the outcome should be obvious.

Craigslist killer, Sunday school Killer, The boy who was bullied and commiited suicide...criticizing Miss California for standing up for herself.....what is going on in our country?

Perez is definitely good at stirring up controversy. I'll give him that much. To get people to pay attention to the Miss America pageant – requires some sort of talent.

Someone should have told Miss California that she was not allowed to have her own opinion.

So why did the Freddie Mac CFO kill himself?
More drama to come I am sure, you notice we have heard nothing of Freddie and Fannie since they were charged with Fraud!

There is never anything to say that someone deosn't agree with they just use it fo publicity on the pagents.

Anderson,

I would also add that she should be allowed her opinion. Just because someone doesn't agree with it doesn't make her a bad person. Best,

Drew

Perez Hilton also should have never asked that question in the first place. He could have asked something else. I mean there's a crisis going on in this nation. Why does he have to go mention gay rights to a beauty pageant contestant.

Why is the former boyfriend of Sarah Palin's daughter getting all this media attention? He just a kid who got his girlfriend pregnant. The fact that the girlfriend is the daughter of a candidate for national office is incidental.

What kind of message does this give to young people? That if you have sex with the right person, and it results in a pregnancy, it's your ticket to fame and fortune?

There are plenty of young people who are making tremendous contributions to society. Why not interview them?

2 comments about the Miss California controversy.
First, it's called a beauty contest – none of the ladies has to be a Mensa member. So if they babble when they answer – what do we expect.
Second, I consider myself a liberal with gay and lesbian friends, but marriage is between a man and a woman.

Tonight is the first time I have ever agreed wtih Roland Martin! He was right on target about Miss CA. Enough said already CNN. Move on to more important news than this. It has been discussed to death. At least tonight you covered the story fairly by showing Perez's inflamed comments. He is the one to be disgusted with. Perez would have been all over the news as the victim if Miss CA had blogged offensive comments about him.

Horses are such beautiful creatures and it breaks my heart to continue to hear about the death of so many of them! It seems tainted food/vitamins are becoming a big problem.

I applaud Miss CA. for standing for what is biblical. Marriage is between a man and woman and yes, being gay is a choice. I detest interacial marriage and gay marriage being mentioned in the same sentence. No one chooses his or her race or ethnicity.

Just wondering - IF Ms. California has such a deep faith in God and feels he directs her life.......WHY is she being such a poor loser?? Just MY thoughts...

hello, i am absolutely disgusted with the whole miss california thing controversy whatever, i am gay and i do believe that you know what regardless of who u are you should be able too love.. miss california speaks of the bible, ok the bible says the greatest gift you could give is love... i did not wake up one day and say oh i think i am gonna be gay, this country is not about anything shespoke of that is why she didn't get a crown there are 4 states that recognize gay marriage, and i got married in cali, and guess what i still couldn'tget medical onmy partners policy , this and the honest truth is its got a long way too go, butyou know what i am an american citizen and this is a civil rights issue, we need martin l. king jr. for this one...

Hats off to Miss Cali! Being honest and not being swayed by the enormity off the event should have been seen as a strong attribute but instead, in my opinion, had a negative impact on her chance of winning. Thats too bad.

We should be past the beauty pageant stage anyway. Isn't this 2009?

I think Miss CA response to the question was a bold answer, Later she had stated that if believing in heterosexual wedding cost her a crown, she would still have not said otherwise. what an honesty..

anyway, I'm gay man and I don't find that affronting a few bit. I believe in meaningful, heartfelt, fuctional relationship ( it may mean a wedding, a marriage which not necessarily own upto anyone but me and my significant other )

The organizer for the pageant are laughing all the way to the bank. They could not ask for better publicity.

Anderson

Now that its over in a way I am glad Ms California didn't win. First of all everyone should be giving some credit to Ms N Carolina who did win. A loser always has a excuse of why they didn't win and their reason.
Also Ms America is suppose to be a representative of all America and sometimes you have to set aside your personal agendas. She is intitled to her own opinion and views but we are not always expected to go along with it. One thing that would have turned me off more than her views on gay issue was in her country, I like to know where the rest of the country who don't agree with her view live in. Too much attention given to this self-centered girl.

She could have been 100% grammatically correct and she still would have been dinged for her answer.

This is so unfair to the winner of Miss USA , Kristen Dalton. She is the winner and nobody knows her name because everyone is focused on Miss. California's comments. Much like the Don Imus/Rutgers situitation. The girls couldn't enjoy their win because his comments shifted the focus.

Do we really need a pagents opinion or Perez Hiltons for that matter?controversy is what they wanted controversy is what they got.

@Paula,

I don't think that is posible, the job position is to symbolize the Country. Her job is to be diplomatic.

Thanks Randi K and Erica H for asking the questions I wanted to hear regarding the Craigslist killing. Great reporting.

Hi Anderson. AC360 Rules!

Have a great evening everyone.

This is a story for Jerry Springer....I would totally watch that!

I praise Miss California for standing for her beliefs and those of most of us Amercans. Didn't like her answer then why ask it.

Yay! Levi Johnston and the Palin's ....my night is complete now!

I don't care what Miss Califorinia's opinion on gay marriage is, what bothered me in her response was she ended "but that's the way I was raised" and that that kind of unquestioning and non-thinking rational is actually respected and considered a legitimate basis for a position on an issue. We would be so far behind socially from where we are today if everyone just accepted things based on how they were raised. We need to consider and think about issues much more then just accepting the past.

Regarding ms. california: We're talking about an archaic meat market pageant. Come on people, why should anyone care what she thinks? I don't and I'm a lesbian. You have to consider the source.

Ok, are there REALLY people out there dying to hear Levi Johnson's "deep" thoughts?

Miss California gave her answer. Obviously, it wasn't the answer the judges wanted to hear.

I have a question about the Miss America comment , Was the same question asked to everyone, that would have been a fair way to judge the answer but if you single out only one persons answer and then judge them on the answers, then no it was not fair for the judge to make such comments in the way he did. And this is America so we all the right to speak our minds.

I actually saw that interview on LKL earlier today. I think that's sad that the Pailin's don't let Levin spend time with his own child.

Wow, Levi is one articulate fella.....

Children having children.

Anderson, i have a headache...tonights discussions are a bit too much...how about making us laugh and have the 360 Crew dance for us tonight?

Here's my question...What made Perez qualified to be a judge?

Good job, Roland!

I do not know if I want to know more aboutPalin-Johnston story. Why can't Levi see his own son anyway?

OMG this kid needs to stay home learn some skills he has NO commnunication skills that is obvious!
He is a bad joke go home get a life LEVI! idiot! Hope your Parents Aren't proud of you!

Levi seems innocent I don't think he could hurt anyone intentionally....

Go Levi! Please dont stop..

So true you guys, that watching tv at work is...work...my excuse at school all the time!

Levi`s 15 minutes are up, aren`t they.

Come on, were Johnson's words really worth hearing? I didn't watch LKL.

Levi "I don't kiss and tell..." what a lie!

Of course there were dog poo jokes, Erica...sight gags never get old.

Anderson,

These Shoes were made for planting... and that's just what I'll do... One of the days these shoes are going to plant all over you.

Drew

well, geez! if watching Larry King Live is considered "work" at CNN, then i want to work for CNN!

I feel sorry for those two kids Palin and Levi. It's bad enough to become parents when you aren't ready for it, then you break up, then
the whole world knows about it. That's a lot for two young adults to handle.

OMG...Fay. That is something I thought I never would of heard in the same sentence. Levi Johnson and deep thoughts.

I watched Larry King earlier and I really feel for the Johnston family, especially Levi. I hope they will be able to work visitation out with the Palin family. This little baby, Trip, needs his daddy too.

I wish she would have stayed the same. All Susan has to do is sing and all else is forgotten.

There will be a lot of vegtable in the "long-life recipe".
Be prepare for it, Anderson.

I believe we should all think for ourselves and that includes sometimes questioning how we were raised.

I just think Miss California sounded like a ditz ....

Sorry, I don't have any sympathy for beauty pageant contestants.

Levi's answer was pretty good... so... you'd like to discuss my personal sex life on national tv? sorry, I don't kiss and tell

(i'm sure everyone wants the dirt – obviously they did, since Bristol had a baby, but really, there is a limit to what people feel they "have to know")

Miss California was asked for her opinion and thats what she gave her opinion that marriage is between a man and woman . She did not condem same sex marriage supporters she just gave her opinion .

Good program, Anderson. Have a good night everyone.

This is so unfair to the winner of Miss USA , Kristen Dalton. She is the winner and nobody knows her name because everyone is focused on Miss. California’s comments. Much like the Don Imus/Rutgers situitation. The girls couldn’t enjoy their win because his comments shifted the focus.

Perhaps it is a blessing in disguise for her. Everyone is talking about it. She can do numerous interviews and even write a book that people would buy. She's had to have figured that out by now. Her star power is much bigger than it would've been if she would've answered the question a different way.

Is Anderson eating his vegetables?

@Erica Hill and @Anderson Cooper

Do you check out Dan’s vitality compass? How were the results of you?

Levi is so full of himself and so is Palin! Let's move on~

It's about that time.....

Anderson, Erica and Team 360 - interesting mix of topics tonight - although I could have done without Perez Hilton and Sarah Palin. Thanks for showing Beat 360 -

Fellow Bloggers - interesting chat tonight –

And, Erica, yes, I agree - 360 should have sent you to Greece for this story –

Until tomorrow night .....peace, everyone.

Whenever i hear Sarah Palin's daughter's baby daddy talk about his issues, i always hear, "blah blah blah" and more "blah blah blah!" the blahing just cant stop can they

As Spock said: "Live long and prosper"

STILL too scared to take that longevity quiz...

How about quality life? A meaningful life?

Anderson said it best..*pause* in his own words..that Levi certainly knows public speaking.

I feel quite sorry for Levi. I've never had a high opinion of the Palin family, and if anyone seems to be fishing for fame/wealth in the midst of circumstance, I think that would be them.

Apparently, Susan Boyles has decided to step out of a very isolated life to reveal her talent. She may as well decide to have a make over to coincide with her new adventure. It may be necessary if she choses to advance in the intertainment world.

I would agree with that. I use olive oil that way.

you are what you eat ...

wow beans?! that surprises me.

Goodnight All

People are nuts! You live until you die, live with it and enjoy your life.

Yummy! I love blackeye peas! Yummy! Take me home.

oh no.... is time to dig out the veggie debate again ...

Great...now I'm hungry...man, that looks good!

A good answer to that same sex marriage question (for Miss California) would have been

“It doesn’t matter what my personal belief is about the issue because we live in a free country. I believe in separation of church and state so although I may not agree with what my neighbor says or thinks or where he goes to church, I stand by his right to make those decisions for himself.”

YES to olive oil and red wine! I'll drink to that!!

Tip: Reveratrol is the antioxident in red wine.

Good evening Anderson,

I find you to have many positive qualities, especially being extremely fair in anchoring the news. Thank you.

Sincerely,

Lisa L
Sydney, Australia

Uh, oh! I have start drinking, now?

Good Night! I love you all! XOXO!!!

hahahha oh alcohol! So crazy how something so bad can do some good.

Mediterranian diet, sounds basically like no processed food, fresh ingredients and high in fiber....sounds like common sense to me

Wine is very good! Even more when we know what good it does to health.

Tip #2 EEVO makes your skin and hair look better too!

goodnite all! great show, perhaps we can now put the Miss Cali thing behind us.

I can only drink wine while eating or else I will not be able to walk afterwards. lol

The media has been hard on Sarah Palin's kids and Levi Johnson and his family, seems like.

Oh all that stuff looks delicious. These are great stories from Ikaria.

Here's to you guys.

This has been a great show! I love you Anderson and Erica!! Shout out to Jack Gray! You are the best!!

Anderson,

Let's all have a drink....

Drew

Susan Boyles is fantastic! I want a CD! I use olive oil for all sorts of good things.;-)

I like beans. Good night all. I'll leave on that profound note.

good night, Anderson and Erica and you amazing Bloggers!!!

Be safe! see you all tomorrow!

Anderson, I don't like beans!

Hey, a stylist would have eventually gotten hold of Susan Boyle...why not be proactive.

That is so funny I love beans all types and I love wine! and I always try to drink a glass with meals but my parents have good genes too so I may live forever at this point! Great to know!

I'm ok with the wine and olive oil, but not so hot on the beans. The test puts me at life until 93. I will have to adjust. I thought there would be fish, also.

Ikaria looks and sounds like a great place to live for the rest of my 92.6 years!!Thanks again for a great show.Goodnight everyone.Peace to all of you and yours

I am hungry too Anderson!! And a little thirsty too! But alas it is time for bed! Good night Anderson and thanks for another great show!

Tip #3 Excerise raises HGH human growth horomone levels and is good for your life.

I think they should travel to Algeria. I have been there and i loved it. the berber culture should be looked at closer.

Miss California had a perfect right to express her opinion. The Judge had a perfect right to ask her about gay marriage. But her answer was absolutely inarticulate, clumsy, stupid and WRONG because currently in America there is NO choice between gay marriage or straight marriage. If there was a choice and equality of rights, there would be no debate about the issue. I'm glad she lost...I don't want someone who doesn't know her own country's laws representing as Miss America.

@Drew

Excellent! That was hysterical!

Night all!

Fame changes everyone.

i would love to live on an island... i think that's the biggest thing that contributes to Ikaraens living longer

Susan Boyle is my hero! I dont; care what she looks like. Here personality and sincereity comes through loud and strong!

Susan Boyle looks fine. All she did is a get a new dress! I can't even remember the last time I wore a dress.

Goodnight all! I'm going to have a drink.

Well Good night Anderson, Erica and my fellow bloggers! Have a good sleep and a great tomorrow!

She is different!

More beautiful and vain. This is very good!

Good night Anderson and all on and of 360. Great show again this night.

Good night fellow bloggers, will see ya tomorrow.

I'll pass on Miss Palin's boyfriend..

I think Susan looks great! It was not that much of a change!

What happened to all the troops that were chasing the taliban in 2001? Oh yeah, the got diverted to Iraq with all the money and resources as well. An invasion that has cost us much more than monetary resources.

Susan Boyle want a change and she get it.

Have a great night, everyone! See ya tomorrow.

Just Watched tonight. Good show, paid more attention. Have fun on Leno. Good Night Anderson and Erica.

Happy Earth Day everyone—Remember think GREEN

If Susan want to change, she has all the right and support to do so. But I think however she chang outside, her inside will stay the same. There is nothing wrong if she wants to look better.

Good night everyone.
Have a great Thursday tomorrow.
Sweet dreams all.

Good Night Anderon good to see you again and company!
Have a lovely evening all!

Good Night Anderson, Erica, Bloogers

If she wants to, um, Spice Girl herself up, I think we should let her. Wouldn't be my first outfit choice, but it's ok, let's go with it.
Goodnight, everyone!!!

Good night, Anderson!!

Good night, everyone! Good night David, Indiana!

See you tomorrow!
