Anderson Cooper: he's here all week. Try the veal.

Anderson Cooper on CNN! Those blue eyes. This grey hair. This impish smile. This concerned look.
It is simply disgusting how popular the man has become with his female audience. What's not to like? Very handsome, vastly well-read and perfectly well-dressed, impeccably brought up, deliciously funny, emotionally available, unusually intelligent, wonderfully modest and extremely successful.
There is not a man out there who couldn't learn something from him as far as charm goes.

Sure he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, his mother was a famous heiress, bla bla bla.
Yes, he covers hurricanes. Yes, he was outraged by what happened or rather didn't happen during and after Katrina. Yes, he was caught several times with tears in his eyes during the coverage. Yes, he's had tragedies in his life that would endear him to anything wearing a skirt. Sure, he's precisely the type of man women would love to have fathering their child. Yes, there has been much hype about him.

Still, Anderson Cooper is more than just a pretty rich boy with some sad stories. For one thing, the man can write. How well, we're about to discover when his book "Dispatches From the Edge" comes out next month. I have high expectations, as far as his literary style.
Then, in spite of the attention, the status, the adoration and the VIP treatment, he's so far remained incredibly funny, unassuming and human. That's pretty irresistible. He's the rare man who gracefully handles the spotlight, something he probably learned from his mother.



So in all objectivity, there are only two things I can hold against him:
First, his devoted female following, and believe me, it's there, it's real and it's big.
Second and most crucial...well, that's the irony. Alas, not one lady can ever seduce him...
