Kathy Griffin is something of an icon in the gay community, and Anderson Cooper is gay. There's more going on here than just "attention whoring".

They're likely very close friends and just playing around. I would be extremely shocked to find out that he was offended or anything. He surely knows what inviting her on entails.

So in your opinion, if we " call out " a public figure, that makes it ok for personal atacks darkangel218 Jan 2013 #44
