Anderson take down!!

Anderson Cooper is great. He always has hacks on who know nothing, but they're generally important hacks because they represent hackery-at-large. What I mean by that is, the people he has on who are cooks are generally accepted as non-cooks by their base. He then has them on, eviscerates their arguments in a calm, clear manner, and does so simply by stating facts. Here he takes down a Texas State Representative who, along with Palin, Bachmann and others, seems to get his information mainly from email forwards. Anderson takes him down, point by point, and makes him look idiotic. Sure, it might not sway the people who agree with him, but at least it reassures me that there are SOME people who understand facts are important.

Here's the video:

I particularly like when he says, "Sir, that's just an internet rumor that you're spreading." The Representative says, after a pause, "um...no it's not." Ha ha, classic!
