Anderson Cooper attacked in Cairo
He’s okay. He managed to go on filming with a Flip camera.
Question: Did the CNN manager actually count the punches? One punch. Two punches. Three punches. Like The Count in Sesame Street.

I was at the edge of my seat when Christiane Amanpour’s group was hounded by pro-Mubarak protesters.
May the young people of today have a better appreciation and pride for EDSA 1.
It’s daunting and awe inspiring at the same time; that protest around the arab world all started with a single act of self-immolation.

What was Anderson expecting? A dinner party? Of course, it’s a revolution!

Chus: Oh no, he was expecting it. He is a journalist. It is a point of pride, being beaten by thugs of oppressive regime.

Oh, no. Poor Anderson and his pretty silver head.

I wish AC had thrown a punch back or two, but I guess that would be asking for too much. But yes, getting roughed up by thugs gives a journalist (a Vanderbilt, no less) some bragging rights, that’s why this story is news by itself.
