Great show tonight Anderson. Good night all. See you tomorrow night.
1 more comment via Paypal: what's to say online retailers don't store your card in a database as well? I agree, there's always a "leap of faith" you have to take with these companies, but after about 5 to 7 years of use (memory's hazy), I have to say I only have good things to say.
Hang in there Anne, I've been unemployed for like forever, 3mos can drive you nuts, but it's not a long gap in employment and that's good. I'll say a prayer for you.
Good night everyone.
Goodnight Anderson & Erica. Very funny show tonight.
Michelle Brown, I don't think this is a matter of choosing animals over people to punish Vick. Madoff is going to get his sooner or later, but Vick deserved to be punished.
You should try and learn some compassion.
Good night Anderson, Erica, David Gergen and best bloggers!!!!!!!
Have a great night and sleep tight!!!!
See you tomorrow night!!!
Day of the shot with Ed and Anderson!!!! Awww!!! That is so sweet see Anderson to swim and Ed is on the beach magum P.I. That is great shot!!!!!!!! Anderson, good job.... you were great swimming!!!!
Good night and happy Monday all.
Stay warm.
And Cooper, do some shopping already! (And buy yourself some new "bloomers"!)
Thanks to the entire AC360 staff!
I read that article at my hairdresser’s years ago, long before I ever watched your show!
I never notice his nail biting. Maybe because I have this nervous thing I do with my leg so it all seems natural to me. I'll have to check out the nail biting them in the 11pm show.
nail biters unite!!
Its just mean to show those of us here in the cold that clip again...but Anderson's bloomers make me laugh...I don't think it matters what rules you set, I hate to say but Michael Phelps is gonna beat you every time! Great show tonight guys!
Good night Anderson, Erica and bloggers!
ha anderson, i read that article, and i completely agree, there is a certain amount of satisfaction in a job well done, but how good of a job can you do between takes? lol
goodnite all. thank you very much for cheering up my monday.
Don't feel bad Anderson, I sometimes rub my eyebrows when I watch tv:) We all have our habits...
Night everyone, sleep tight...
I think Ed Henry and David Gergen need to team up and do some big time "getting back" at Anderson Cooper. However, we never tire of seeing Anderson's bloomers. Perhaps he's wearing them now since we never see him get out from that desk anymore!!!!
Great discussion and show tonight. Happy Holidays! Nite all!
Monday's Shot..At least Ed Henry didn't take a dip in the sea..Sometimes we are blessed to be spared some sights..Night all..
Thank you team of GREAT producers and Erica!
Wow Good Night Everyone!
Great comments as usual!
Anderson & Erica you both Rock! 🙂
happy holidays!
🙂 cam_canada
Anderson,
great shot! Touche! Thanks Erica! Seeing Anderson swim is alright this time of the night! 🙂 Goodnight and thanks again!
Anderson, Erica & The 360 team -
Good show tonight. Enjoying all the laughs.
Quit picking on poor Ed Henry - I have a feeling Anderson in his "bloomers" with reappear every chance the team gets!
Good night everyone.
Tahe banks certainly are not helping us, is'nt that the reason they got the bailout? Does anyone know of anyone who has gotten a loan from any banks lately? Ed Henry looks so happy to be where he is and he looks comfortable with what he is wearing.
Have no fear AC! As a fellow nail biter, I feel your pain.
Thanks for embarrassing/humbling Cooper Hill!!
suddenly Obama deserves a $3 mil $ house? couldn't he have toned it down just a bit and stayed at the 4 Seasons residences?
He does look darn good without a shirt though. An encouragement to all American to cut down on the meat and fats. Go Vegan!
Peta's representative view on the dogs is surprising. All animals deserve a second chance. The proof is what the rehab workers have done with these dogs,working with children,ect.It shows you how far patience and love will go.
Dear Erica,
You did an amazing story on Michael Vick's dogs! The pictures of those dogs playing with their new families are amazing.
I understand that Best Friends Animal Society in Utah has contributed to the rehab of the dogs rescued from Vick's property.
Let's remember there are always a thousand dogs up for adoption within a hundred miles of us.
"Your dog" doesn't need to be famous. Just loved. That love will be repaid in spades.
Whatcha waiting for? Go fetch your dog!
Anderson,
I read that article at my hairdresser's years ago, long before I ever watched your show!
Does Ed need an assistant?
I don't understand why all the newspapers and magazines only focus about Rev. Warren being anti gay because of his opposition to gay "marriage".. Much more important for me is that is has stated that all gay people are at a level with pedophiles, incest criminals and all those "other" unsavory types. Why reach across the aisle to someone who believes that more than 10% of Americans including myself are people to be despised! I am so disappointed in Obama
That woman from PETA should be put down. Why destroy an animal that didn't choose their life.
RE: PayPal...All credit cards i.e. [debit/credit] are databased into PayPal. Your card is registered forever. I don't trust PayPal for reasons I won't go into here. But I would limit my use with their easy pay system. You don't have privy to what is going on behind the scenes and that is the scary partt.
Anderson, Thanks for the update on the Vick dogs. I appreciate the work that PETA does, but I have problems with some of their ideas.
ERICA I this is a perfect segmet for you! I am completely w you All 4 of my cats are rescues; 2 my friends found in the park and I also have a stray Mom and one of her (now adult) kittens I used to volunteer w a group in petsMart and loved it! I take care of the strays in my hood and have rescued 30 and hope to be able to afford to have many more...
THANK YOU FOR SPEAKING UP FOR THE SHELTER ANIMALS ERICA!
ah yes, the nail biting.. an old bad habit.. i once wrote about it for details magazine years ago....i dont do it as much as i once did.. but old habits die hard.
Erica: Thanks for the follow-up on Vick's dogs. Glad to see they are going to good homes. With the economy the way it is, more and more dogs are in need of homes these days. That's why I've cut down my X-mas spending and have given instead to the local shelters.
Thanks, we enjoy your show. (Thailand)
wow, kill the dogs that need a little help....why not just kill everyone in rehab and prison then? get real peta
I've never really understood PETA! They think that it would be better off for these dogs to be put down then to rehab them so that they can be loved and love others? I really enjoyed that story Erica! Thanks!
Good show Anderson and all....G'night fellow bloggers!!
PETA seems a bit out of whack on this.
I think any dog saved is great!
I can't believe PETA would have preferred these dogs be euthanized.
Haha Glen. I don't think you'll find any AC-haters on this site.
As it is, I'm a journalism student/New Orleans humanitarian I utterly bow down to the man....
Anderson... don't get out there now and shop...It has gotten so crazy... I have never seen so many rude people out there pushing and shoving. I feel so bad for the retail clerks.. I bet they can't wait for it to be over. I'm ready for it to be over.
Hellooo David Gergen.....
Nice see you on Live Blog tonight!!! I agree with your comment!!!
I don't like dogs to fight each other.... it is so bad...... I love dogs to quiet , peace not to mean......... I am support dogs.....
if they can’t see the light, make ‘em feel the heat.
oh, now THAT was well put, david !! more people should be feeling more heat, i think
erica : good job on the singing – you have a nice voide
erica : biden's 2nd dog will be a golden lab from a shelter 🙂
Great story on Vick's dogs. Hopefully when Vick gets out the NFL won't take him back.
Jo Ann, go you! such a committment and it shows your great character. those poor dogs.
Is PETA ever happy?
Anderson – remember your mom likes it when you make her a gift. It comes from the heart.
Ashley : I don't know about the others, but I can speak for myself: I'm teasing Anders because I _like_ the guy! Respectfully, of course. 😉
