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."

The real reason is he couldn't find anybody to teabag.

He has been punched on many accusations,

Strange choice of words. Did the writer mean on many occasions? I only heard about the one where he got dope slapped around for a while.

So Copper is bugging out because there’s no lobster left at the hotel. Typical leftist coward.

“On April 18, 1945, Ernie Pyle died on Ie Shima, an island off Okinawa...”

I don’t expect the leftist moonbat Cooper to die to prove himself, but don’t try to BS me that he’s under fire.

He and katie both probably didn’t log 15 minutes in that crowd before they ran crying into hiding. You are probably right about the Pulitzer.

Will he ever get it, that Islamics hate us for our way of life, because we don’t and will not ever submit to Islamic Sharia one world religion...

Nah, he encourages them.

He would be one of the first they would like to get their hands on, so to speak.

Yeah coz they believed their own hype about Muslims being so ‘moderate’.

They better get it in their thick heads, Islamics mean to kill us period. They think they go to heaven for killing Jews and Christians.

Sad really when they will be spending eternity in hell.

Also off topics, but by any chance do those hounds play harmonica or fiddle? I’d pay good money to watch.

My guess is that the officials in Egypt were thinking that the main reason the American Press was there was to whip up anti Murabak sentiments. So, Egyptian officials whipped first.

Yes Perky Katie went to Egypt - I can’t believe you didn’t see how pissed she got when she was standing in a group and someone’s arm came over the top of her head. she gave that “don’t you dare touch me, don’t you know who I am?” looks before surrying the into hiding. Sorry - just look anywhere on MSM and you’ll find a link

I did dear, thank you. Yeah, Ms “Perky’’ looked miffed to say the least. Wonder if the stupid witch knows how lucky she is. She could have been killed just for being there. Ok, so why IS a Texas girl in PA?

A truly dangerous situation but I think she thought she would be loved and adored and safe there. Clueless woman.

Originally in PA for work, back in Texas because it is where we belong. but we did enjoy our time in PA - beautiful State.
