Anderson Cooper's most artful take-down of anti-gay Amy Kushnir


By this point, Randy Report readers have seen and heard more than they'll ever want of Dallas morning show host Amy Kushnir.

But, hoping this will be the last chapter to Ms. Kushnir's public hypocrisy over "what's appropriate" to be on TV.

Anderson Cooper put the morning show host on his "Ridiculist" last night in grand style. From Queerty:

“If you’re not in the Dallas area you are missing out on a spectacular morning show called The Broadcast,” Cooper said without a hint of sarcasm in his voice, “and an incredible moment last week when they veered away from springtime pizza recipes and how to slim down your fat pets, to weigh in on this: Michael Sam kissing his boyfriend while ESPN cameras were rolling after Sam became the first openly gay player drafted to the NFL.”

Cooper then played footage from last week’s episode of The Broadcast, which has garnered more than 1.2 million hits and 600 “dislikes” on Youtube.

“Amy Kushnir has every right to express her opinion,” Cooper said. “She just wants us to think of the children. And she has a point, if we don’t take action, TV could become a Bacchanalian free-for-all complete with half-naked men and indiscriminate kissing.”

Video of an episode of The Broadcast from February then flashed across screen. In it, a very giddy Kushnir is seen being lifted up by two shirtless male strippers. Giggling, she then gives each stripper a kiss on the cheek.

As Cooper put it, "If you happen to be playing Predictable Excuse-Laden Intolerance Bingo at home, get ready to mark some boxes, folks."
