'Newsweek' Loves Its Heroes, Hates Anderson Cooper

Backlash? I thought everyone liked him 'cause he's a prominent dapper gay man -- did anyone ever consider him a journalist? Harry Shearer (aka the voice of Mr. Burns) has another reason to recognize that Cooper is a vapid fool: "CNN's promo slots were filled all weekend long with Anderson Cooper saying that billions of "your dollars" are coming to New Orleans, and does Mayor Ray Nagin have a plan for how to spend it? [But] ... Those billions in federal aid are largely being channeled through a state agency, the Louisiana Recovery Authority. Mayor Nagin has virtually nothing to say about how that money is spent." Thanks Cooper for getting your fact straight once again. But you do look good in that jacket!

At least it wasn't another damn disease cover.

Didn't Colbert pre-emptively make fun of this with his "Difference Makers" bit? Why would you put out the story after the joke has already crushed it? Is there seriously no other news this week, Newsweek?

I guess if you "give back" AND you're hot, you get to stand 10 feet in front of everyone else...
