Could that be Anderson Cooper?
Back in Gulf War I CNN had the "SCUD Stud". Anderson could be the "Flood Stud" after Katrina?
Regardless, Cooper is about the only anchor on CNN worth his weight in spit. Which is a rare breed ever since Time-Warner took over and axed all anchors with any experience in the field (and with anything resembling a salary) -- and replaced them all with anonymous, brainless beauty clones who work for little more than a parking spot in exchange for airtime and blowjobs.
Radio is the worst, but TV news is littered with talentless, photogenic floozies and studs who work on their knees half the time just for the priviledge of being on the air.
I'm exaggerating a bit, of course, but the spirit of that is quite genuine in the field. My wife used to be a TV reporter for a station in Sacramento many, many moons ago, and she has great stories of why she got out of that business.

Canadian hockey fans at an international tournament in Vancouver, B.C., chanted anti-U.S. slogans as they cheered the Russian team to victory over the American squad.
A Canadian columnist, who called the booing "disgraceful," said the venom began toward the end of the semi-final game at the World Junior Hockey Championship, which concluded last night with Team Canada playing the Russian national team.
"U.S. sucks!" the Canadian fans chanted.
Pete McMartin, writing for CanWest News Service, pointed out the Canadian team wasn't even on the ice at the time.
If it were, he said, "that would have gone some way toward explaining the Yankee animus oozing out of the stands."
But McMartin said the Canadian crowd "wasn't just rooting for the Russians – amazing enough in itself, considering that bitter history – it was rooting against the Americans. And the chanters weren't so much interested in a hockey game as scoring points against America, the country, not the team."
The columnist said the Canadian crowd's "antipathy toward the American team has been a constant."
In a previous game, U.S. goalie Cory Schneider, he noted, had to concentrate to block out the boos raining down from the stands.
U.S. head coach Walt Kyle, McMartin commented wryly, "was under the mistaken impression – one still shared by many Americans, the poor, trusting boobs – that because our two great countries are neighbors, and have co-existed peacefully for over 150 years, and have vast economic and cultural ties, that he could consider Canada a home-ice-away-from-home and Vancouverites would naturally cheer for the American team rather than for a team from a country which, not 20 years ago, was chiefly known for its vicious soul-crushing despotism, and whose hockey teams were reviled by Canadian fans as products of a drab socialist machine that saw sport as nothing more than an arm of state propaganda."
McMartin said the U.S. coach probably "hadn't figured on the Canadian weakness for envy."
"His charges are, after all, 17-to-19-year-old boys, not architects of the war against Iraq," the columnist said.
If it had been the other way around, McMartin wrote – an American crowd chanting "Canada sucks" – there would be "country-wide alarm" accompanied by a televised forum on the "crisis in U.S.-Canadian relations."
McMartin said he wants the coach and his American team to know they deserve an apology and that the anti-American chanters "do not typify the Canadian sense of patriotism; that they do not personify our relationship with his country; and that lastly, and most importantly, they are idiots."
As WorldNetDaily reported in 2003, a group of U.S. peewee hockey players at a tournament in Montreal were barraged with anti-American insults and witnessed protesters trashing the American flag.
Hundreds of college students were marching through the streets in an anti-war demonstration and seized upon the players' bus as a target for its anti-U.S. venom. Several demonstrators made obscene gestures toward the bus, and an American flag was dragged through the street.
At another demonstration, the Americans watched as a crowd cheered when a protester waved the Iraqi flag, and booed the U.S. flag. Next, the Stars and Stripes were doused with kerosene and ignited.
During their trip, the visiting youngsters attended a Montreal Canadiens-New York Islanders game at the Montreal Bell Center during which the U.S. national anthem was widely booed by the crowd.
During their own games, the boys said their Canadian counterparts were verbally abusive during face-offs.

The Canadian fear of unintentionally being flattened by an oafish neighbor come out from time-to-time. I'm not surprised.
As the great, former PM Pierre Trudeau once put it, "Living next to you is in some ways like sleeping with an elephant. No matter how friendly and even-tempered is the beast, if I can call it that, one is affected by every twitch and grunt."
