Anderson Cooper vs. Local News Anchor: Whose Side Are You On?

Derek James, a North Carolina news anchor, is accusing Anderson Cooper of ripping him off by copying a segment in which James gave a "dramatic reading" of Snooki's first book, Mediaite reports.

Yes, Snooki has a book.

“I did it first, and I did it best,” James said, declaring Cooper “the most ridiculististist (sic?) person in the world,” which will probably result in a massive self-esteem collapse for Cooper at the worst possible time, just as Cooper prepares to move to 8 p.m. and launch a new daytime talk show, "Anderson," that–as luck would have it–is on [James' channel].

Normally, we would pit the two against each other to determine who did it best, but unfortunately there are no video clips of either of the readings online, so we suppose you'll have to pick sides based on your opinion of gray hair.

    Anyone who argues over reading Snooki's book needs to be fired. Its Snooki! Why do they even care?

    I voted for James because Anderson Cooper is just the sort of weasel that would take someone else's idea and make profit from it. I don't like Anderson Cooper. I find him smug and superficial. If his mother hadn't been rich and connected, he would never have the kind of position or connections he has now. He's just not that talented.

    You mean someone is coping the unique idea of reading a socially condemned person's book in a funny voice? Horrible! That's ok, you can make a comeback! I have another unique idea: Read a socially condemned person's book's idiotic quotes with a straight face. That'll show 'em!

    Big deal, I wonder if James hacked any victims e-mail or voice mail to get a story? after watching both clips, (neither showing context of the reading) I like Andersons reading better.

    I have seen your "tolerance."
    You can keep it.
    I suppose that I should ONLY tolerate that which you say I can.

    I just respond to hatred and Intolerance.
    You will never see me open up on anyone first.
    There are so many of yours side here that hate and are intolerant of almost everyone not like you,I spend a lot of time responding to many post like yours because there are so many on your side,a lot more than on those you call liberal and leftists who usually get Blocked,suspended, banned, or deactivated
  • Lord Nils Crewshal 2011/07/29 06:45:44

    You are just proving my point.

    More than likely Anderson didn't even know Derek James did the idea. Interesting that the Carolinas are in the Anderson block! ;)

    having to "read" anything supposedly written by an imbecile like Snooki is torturous enough - having the fruit of that labor stolen is even worse ...

    Welcome SH fans to another idiotic post by a (believe it, or not) paid SH poster. Herein, you get to decide the comparative worth of two men based on your opinion of hair color. Piercing - just, absolutely, piercing, Sir, or Madam. If you can just keep-up this sophisticated level of horsesh*t blogging, you may even get a job at the N. Y. Times.

    Obamaniac = a person without the ability to think for them self, and who who rather eat the magic obama mushrooms and Biden coolaid, While they wait for the nanny state to tell them they can't take a crap until the obamacare system determines whether they are causing an ecological disaster with their biological waste products which are the result of the Big mac they ate after Momma-bama told them not to.
