I always suspected Anderson Cooper was an entitled jerk but the following is just the ultimate in extreme douchebaggery:
As a feminist, I find it outrageous that a man bullies a woman half his size on TV and this is considered news. I also find it deplorable that Cooper uses somebody else’s tragedy to preen and self-congratulate.
Bleh, what a piece of trash.
Yep, five minutes of non-stop badgering, repeating over-and -over, “Yes, but gay people keep telling me that you’re a bad person…”
Totally contemptible.

And the part about tweeting? Seriously? 49 dead and he grills a public official about what she didn’t tweet in the past?

I don’t remember the details because it’s not where I live and I can’t follow and remember everything, but Florida’s AG does have a reputation for being very anti-GLBT. Why Mr. Cooper pussy-footed around like that and did not use stronger examples, I couldn’t say; this video is the longest I’ve ever watched him.
I think it is possible to dislike the approach he took without claiming any sympathy for Pam Bondi.

At this point in time, it seems bizarre to discuss the anti-LGBT feelings of anybody but the fellow who left 49 corpses of gay people in the wake of his night out on the town. From the video, it is clear that she is doing her job of ensuring that victims and their relatives get reunited.

I can’t even begin to imagine any fellow talking to me in this manner.

Well, it certainly isn’t good journalism, because Cooper wastes over five minutes of airtime breaking a major rule of Journalism 101: Don’t ask the person you’re interviewing the same question more than three times (because by then it’s obvious that the person isn’t going to give you the answer you want, so move on).

And it’s not even clear what the question is. It’s ridiculous.

Although the tweeting part was preposterous, Cooper is certainly a piece a trash but not in this case: he did a great job a this homophobic bitch deserved that kind of treatment.
