Whoops late start since I didn't notice taurenova's post until a couple of minutes ago. Although this seems like it's going to be a good night for her to take off. Not much (new at least) going on it seems.
1) Talking about Clemmons, the parolee who shot the police officers. Seems like a lot of stuff we have heard before.
2) The Salahis and who is stonewalling who and are the Republicans being overly ridiculous about the WH Social Secretary, Desiree Rogers, or is it a transparency issue. Basically only the Secret Service showed up at the Congressional hearings (Rogers and Salahi were invited).
ETA Oh it is Ed Henry hi Ed! He is wearing pinstripes and a snazzy striped purple tie, taurenova. I can't tell but I think the pinstripes might be purple-ish too.
ETA2 son of ETA Gergen's here to talk too. (His tie is hot pink.)
ETA3 Erica is here too. Mrs. Salahi snuck into a cheerleaders' union even though she is absolutely not a cheerleader. She showed up with a camera crew and the other crew was like o_____o. Anderson quotes a cheerleader ("You can't shake your pom poms!") and Gergen lols all over the place.
3) Erica's Bulletin: Suicide bombing in a medical school graduation in Somalia (with graphic video). Bernake talks to the Senate. Health care vote on preventative screenings including mammograms. The Obamas light up the official outdoor Christmas tree. The 360 writers are <3_<3 over the White House gingerbread house.
4) The American girl on trial in Italy charged with killing her British roommate in a 'sex game.' The Italian media has called her "a devil with an angel's face." The jury has gone into deliberations.
ETA Here to talk: A Newsweek/Daily Beast reporter in Italy, a critic Douglas Preston (a journalist) who says that all of the evidence is "bogus", Lisa Bloom.
There seems to be questions on our side about the validity of the evidence and the prosecution's theory.
5) Anderson was filling in on Regis and Kelly today.
A: "As always Kelly managed to make me laugh and share some embarrassing things."
E: "Oh I love that!"
They are talking about man cleavage (leaving your shirt a bit unbuttoned) and Anderson is doing silly voices with lots of giggling. Kelly grills him about his tie.
A: "If I reveal any of my chest it's like a starburst because I'm so pale and white people get blinded."
K: "Well I'll be the judge of that." *leers*
A: "So what else you got?"
K: "I got seven more minutes."
I am so sad I was not able to watch this live ;_;.
Story telling to Kelly: Sometimes Anderson uses the CNN Green Room bathroom because it's nicer than the employee one, and he bumped into Howie Mandel on his way out. He goes to shake his hand and has a moment of horror realizing he's a germaphobe.
They end up fist-bumping, which I can't even imagine. A: "I'm such a loser. I'm a total loser."
E: "You know what I think this teaches us all? It's not as easy being Anderson Cooper as it looks."
6) Erica's Bulletin: Sexting is increasingly common amongst teens -- is your child doing it? Tenn. Senator's daughter is carjacked. Denver voters will consider whether they should have an extraterrestrial affairs commission (Erica suggests bringing Reeses Pieces).
7) Beat 360! Hillary Clinton. The user suggestion is a joke about Anderson's mishap with Howie Mandel.
