Let the "F-Bombs" fly, Kathy Griffin has officially nabbed the questionable honor of first to drop one on live TV in the new year. While 2009 had several accidental slips, Griffin’s was intentional, to the apparent chagrin of her co-host Anderson Cooper, who couldn’t contain a small smile. The event happened Thursday night,while co-hosting "New Year’s Eve Live With Anderson Cooper and Kathy Griffin."
Who was hitting the hard punch at the CNN company party and thought of pairing these two polar opposites? The question is more puzzling if you recall that at the same event last year Griffin shouted down a heckler with vulgarity. The network is in apologetic mode.
Griffin and Cooper were discussing balloon boy (AKA Falcon Heene) when Griffin intentionally pretended to have great and grim
trouble pronouncing Falcon Heene’s name. After the mini-drop, Cooper shook his head and smiled. "You’re terrible. Really terrible," quite a reprimand from the reserved Anderson Cooper. Hmm…perhaps Anderson wasn’t so much shocked as wishing he could let fly now and then while he’s discussing the news of the nation, which far too often is more absurd than the Balloon Boy episode?
