Video: Anderson Cooper can't believe what he sees...

CNN's Anderson Cooper, or "The Silver Fox" as I call him, did a piece on Katie Couric's much-lampooned interview with GOP vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin. The look on his face after he views the piece is priceless.

I have to admit, this is a lot less fun when you consider what dire shape our country is in economically:

(AP) WASHINGTON - The House of Representatives on Monday defeated a $700 billion emergency rescue package, ignoring urgent pleas from President George W. Bush and bipartisan congressional leaders to quickly bail out the staggering U.S. financial industry.

Stocks plummeted on Wall Street even before the 228-205 vote to reject the bill was announced on the House floor.

When the critical vote was tallied, too few members of the House were willing to support the unpopular measure with elections just five weeks away. Ample no votes came from both the Democratic and Republican sides of the aisle.
