They couldn't let MSNBC have all the fun.
Last week MSNBC host Rachel Maddow and her guest, Air America's Ana Marie Cox, spent a segment discussing the anti-tax tea-bagging protests being held by the conservative party. That is, between the giggles and double entendres about a certain sex act that shares the same slang name.
Anderson Cooper joined in the fun on Tuesday (April 14) night at the end of a conversation with David Gergen, the director of the Center for Public Leadership, regarding President Obama's last speech about his administration's economic policy.
Gergen concluded by saying that the Republican party is currently in a position of weakness. Having soundly lost the past election, he says that "they're searching for their voice."
"It's hard to talk when you're tea-bagging," Cooper quipped.
What do you think? Was Cooper speaking out of turn or merely stating the obvious?

Rachel Maddow: Anyone for a little tea-bagging?
Hilarious -- but probably spoken out of turn.
I don't like protesting of any kind, I think it's stupid. But there weren't any riots like usually happen when the liberals start protesting.
The liberal news media will not give the right attention that this deserves. They don't want to turn the cameras off of the obamas because once they do the american public will start to realize that the man has been in office for months now and the only thing he has done is campaign for his re-election.
Well, since they are tea-bagging parties, but tea parties, as in the Boston tea party, yeah, he's an idiot.
This "tea-bagging" protest was championed by the good folk at Fox News (you know them -- the "fair & balanced" network). 'Nuff said.
Thousands and thousands of our fellow clueless Americans took to the streets to express their feelings about the direction our country is going. The same direction the country has been going since 2000. Where were they then?
From what I read about Anderson Cooper, I think he has spent many a night on the recieving end of a teabagging...
Riots are rarely caused by protesters. They're caused by the people who feel threatened by the protesters. There weren't any riots today because while we liberals may not agree with the protest today, we do respect their right to protest and don't feel threatened by people taking to the streets to voice their views.
I didn't even know what "tea bagging" meant until yesterday. Nice to know that folks at CNN and MSNBC have such familiarity with sexual slang and find such glee in using it on the air. Stay cl***y.
I learned about tea bagging from a "Sex and the City" episode years ago. Guess Republicans aren't big HBO subscribers.
