Anderson Cooper decides to leave Egypt after constant violence
Examiner ^ | 2/5/11 | Matt Carter

Posted on 02/05/2011 2:01:32 PM PST by jimbo123

Anderson Cooper of CNN has clearly been one of the most active journalists in Egypt over the course of the past weeks, having done his best to report on the streets and also in the midst of near-constant violence. He has been punched on many accusations, had a car he was in destroyed, and at one point he was even trapped inside of an undisclosed building in order to keep both and his crew safe.

So with all of this in mind, Cooper's announcement Sunday should not come as too great of a surprise. Here is what Anderson had to say via Twitter:

"It is with a heavy heart that I have decided to leave #Egypt. CNN continues to have many teams in place. It was a hard decision to leave."

Cutie Couric and Brian Williams have already fled so I guess he feels it’s okay for him to leave too. He lasted a few days longer than the girls.

>> It couldn’t have been the rocks and punches that drove him off. He’s spent most of his life getting hit in the face with balls.

>> Anderson Cooper decides to leave Egypt fearing Egyptian muslims have learned of his homosexuality.

If he was as smart as he thinks he is, he would’ve just dressed up in a goat suit and crawled around Cairo on all fours. Win-win, baby!

You just signed his death warrant if he is so bold to visit another muzzie country.

Not so tough when the protesting teabaggers take a swing at you, are you, A.C.?

He needs to hurry home for a facial and a mani/pedi. Those desert winds were drying out his pores.

Nancy boy!

Off topic, but everytime I see your screen name, I think of my brother up in Gainesville and his three Georgia Dawgs:

You’d a thunk that Shepard Smith might have gone....he’d probably have been thrilled to find himself surrounded by dozens of hairy young brown boys.

Poor wittle ‘Hands-in-your-pooper’.

Well Anderson Pooper you just got a lesson in “Life in a Middle Eastern Arab country.” They don’t love you Anderson, in fact if they knew you were a homosexual they would have given you some special treatment! All that anti-American dribble that is spewed from CNN daily has really paid off! They hate you and when you are left in their care you have no protection. How does it feel? You ready for some of that Sharia law to come to the USA?

I don’t blame him, they point over at him there and say, “MUST KILL CRACKER”.

Sensible move in all seriousness.

Hell, one of them will probably get a Pulitzer for their “reporting.”

I’d pay a hundred bucks for a video of Cooper getting knots on his head, that would go in the library for replays when I’m blue.
