good night everyone
lovely monday evening to you all
Great show tonight Campbell and Randi. See you guys or Anderson tomorrow night. Good night bloggers. Sleep well all unless you have to be at work at midnight. In that case awwwwwwwwwwwwwww.
Good night Campbell, Randi and best bloggers and Anderson.....
Have a great night!!! Sleep tight!!!!!!
See you tomorrow night!!!!
Awesome!!!!!! I bet Anderson just so scared of shark! day of the shot!!!!! 🙂
That is really cool! So is 360! Thanks for great conversation tonight, bloggers. I missed David Gergen's input however. 🙁 Have a wonderful Tuesday.
Good Monday evening..The Shot of the Day? Those big teeth coming towards you? What a way to spend the day. night all
Randi, Campbell, be careful how you talk about the TSA. Remember that the Dept. of Homeland Security and the FBI does not discuss who may or may not be on the "Watch List". If they will not discuss it then once they add you then you can never get off of it because they will not discuss it with you.
Good show tonight Campbell and Randi. It was nice to see Anderson smiling and enjoying himself. Good for him. Nite all.
I wouldn't mind trying that!
Anderson gets to cuddle with gorillas and sharks...he's so blessed with his job!
Dwight, San Bernadino,CA
The list is not published.
You can call it harrassment but they'll say "they are just doing their job." No one can ever win against TSA.
Randi,
My friend's brother who is a policeman is actually on the list. Not only his first and last name but his middle name too. He has to go through what Drew does every time! He's tried to get off for a while but nothing works.
Who shot this shark footage?
McCain's health should not be a joking matter.I do wonder if it will effect his job perfrmance. JUST be careful when you vote in nov. I have a gut feeling this will be a critical time in history. Vote with your mind not your heart and bias thought against Obama or MCCain . Age or skin color will not be what hurt this Country but weak and stupid policies
I'm still waiting to see the watch list. Where can I see it?
I suspect that when they set up the list, they didn't put a lot of thought how to manage the list. Typical federal incompetence. These are the same bozos that will be running our health care program if it's started.
Drew is clearly getting harassed by the TSA. I can't believe they get away with that.
Randi, I'm on the watch list. I was attempting to get tickets to Chigago. No word on whether my name is of the list yet.
Gotta love Drew's passion for this TSA story. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that he gets his name off the list. I suppose adding birthdates to the watch list could help.
Randi,
I agree with you...... I watch tv on Animal Planet and I saw sharks is so very scary one!
Randi, I agree with Ken, I rather watch from the comforts of my home that kind of exciting stuff.
Well during Vietnam, children were used to maim US soldiers with a hidden grenade. Terrorists will use every means to scare peace loving people like us.
mental note to all: do NOT travel with Drew Griffin... if you want to make your flight on time! Any of you aware you're on the watch list??
I believe that it's harder to stop the women bombers as well. Culturally, it's not possible to search them at checkpoints like you can men.
Hi Randi, it is about multitasking, I didn't see Anderson in the shark cage but It just takes guts to do that. Now I saw it, yep that's scary, a lot of things to know how to do just to get in the cage. I'd prefer dolphins, too, but they can bat a swimmer around as well.
Randi, if it wasn't for people like Anderson and his camera man, I would not be able to safely sit in front of my TV and play with the sharks. Kudos to Anderson.
that's true.. this political season feels a bit like swimming with sharks.. some of the critics have quite a bite, eh? on both sides of the aisle.. but that shark was frightening! i don't even like the shark in the fake lake at disney world in florida.. but i'm a lot more squeamish than AC! any of you ever swim with sharks?
I think I'd want an underwater bazooka even in the cage.
I don't think these kind of attacks using women will change no matter what they do.
The gender of the suicide bombers hardly matters to the deadliness of their mission. The willingness of the terrorists to use women as "delivery vehicles" is clearly a tactical decision designed to facilitate entry into target areas. Perhaps the profile for the would be suicide bomber should be changed.
My hearts go to Iraqis people who lost many lives........
Who cares who checks them – somebody needs to inorder to help some of the suicide bombings from happening.
What's next? Children suicide bombers?
How sickening to think of that..
Always great to hear from Peter Bergen. The trend in women suicide bombers is alarming. Just goes to show that females are not seen in high regard by the terrorists.
Randi!
I am really scared of sharks and Anderson Cooper….. I am so nervous about him!!!!! But I love dolphins. that is my mammal dolphins.
Randi, Sharks are probably a walk in the park compared to covering the jabs of a political election season.
Eh, too early to take polls too seriously... unless you're a pundit 🙂
Nope you wouldn't catch me that close to the sharks, cage or no cage.
Hi Randi, I would love to dive with sharks! I'm sure I will do that in the future.
Love your new haircut btw!
i think joining Obama backstage in Denver is worth $5...heck, if I had the money, it would be worth $5,000 or more.
Hi Randi: Well, let's put it this way, getting close to sharks would not be my #1 thing to do in 2008, however, as long as I don't hear the Theme from Jaws and I am in a cage with 6 others just a crazy, sounds rather exciting to me.
I don't mind sharks, but I'll be in my chair and glad that wasn't me in that cage for sure.
Campbell – Anderson Scared – NEVER!! ......
Well....let’s hope not!!
I’m sure Anderson was quite excited by the adventure and the experience to swim with Sharks!! Africa has some beautiful marine and plant life and awesome game wildlife, believe me I know. I was born, raised in that environment, and I miss is dearly.
Randi!
I am really scared of sharks and Anderson Cooper..... I am so nervous about him!!!!! But I love dolphins. that is my mammal dolphins. Bwt, I like your haircut!
hi Randi!
i would definitly do the shark cage. it would be such an amazing experience.
Unfortunately with skin cancer, the risk of it recurring goes up with age. The media has given McCain a free pass on a number of issues and gaffes committed this campaign season. Apart of the health question for McCain, is answering what medications is he currently on?
Medical problems increase exponentially once a person passes 65 years of age.
hi everyone.. glad you're all tuned in online and on tv tonight! it's all about multi-tasking, eh?? did you see Anderson in that shark cage?? yikes?? cant' wait to see that story.. i fed a stingray once but don't think i'd have the nerve to get that close to a shark.. cage or not? how bout you??
David Gergen mentions the GALL/USA Today poll in favor of McCain, but fails to explain the poll. That GALL/USA poll was conducted among likely voters? What the hell is a likely voter? Typically and reliably, polling is done among registered voters. I have no idea of what this new methodology of polling means.
Oh my gosh!!!! I am so scared for Anderson Cooper in ocean and saw shark!!!!!!
i will scared of the sharks enough for Anderson....I would NEVER do that. Dolphins yes, sharks no
