The make-up room today featured CNN’s Jack Cafferty and a pensive, pre-election Anderson Cooper. I’m always tempted to say “love your hair” to Cooper, because then he’d see we had similar hair and we’d laugh and laugh and laugh. But there’s also a 20% chance he’d just say “Thank you,” and then I’d look like a big, gay dummy.
Jack Cafferty is my favorite CNN guy. He doesn’t mince words. I’d like to get liquored up and give him a big hug because he amuses me greatly by saying very funny things in a very dry way. One of my favorite moments is when he called MSNBC the network with “five call letters and no viewers.” Brutal, but brutal-funny. Politically, he takes shots at everyone who deserves them – as it should be.
Jack’s not afraid to wander downstairs to the mall at Time Warner Center with a long cable dangling from the earpiece assembly that’s clamped on the back of his shirt. I take that to mean he’s not afraid of anything.

I started Banterist in 2003 after this conversation with my cat. It led to all sorts of good things.
Freakin’ hilarious. (The clip, I mean. And the Anderson Cooper thing.)
You and GB have your Teletubby Ties (w/Matching Shirts) on, too, very sweet. SO maybe it’s not your comments about Anderson Cooper’s hair that you should worry about… ;-)
Love your work, Brian.
I love these Daily Show-esque pieces they’re now allowing you to do.
Awesome, you touched Fed-Ex! This is truly a peak experience, worthy of inclusion in your ever-growing Wikipedia biography. Speaking of – gee, how can I say this without being tacky?
Nice bio. Be a shame if anything happened to it.
