Anderson Cooper is one of the most powerful person in US Media. He essentially shut down the cheating story. Whether he is upset or not, he does not want it discussed in the media so he shut it down.
Nobody will talk about it anymore.

I doubt AC and Ben would have looked "very relaxed and very happy together" if this cheating scandal was a big deal to them. I'm sure Anderson didn't enjoy having their relationship discussed in the press, but aside from that, I don't think there was ever any drama between him and Ben, surely nothing close to them breaking up over this.

Well, we know for a fact that there are some VERY determined people who keep trying to start some trouble between AC and Ben.

As long as there's a photo, the gossip sites just make up a story that seems plausible. I read somewhere that rags like The Star used to pay their insiders for gossip but now they no longer pay their sources. Ever since then they just make up headlines and stories and sometimes gets caught being embarrassed.
That's probably why there was less follow up stories from places like the Enquirer. Their headlines were that Anderson Cooper was devastated and kicked off Ben off the boat. They're not about to put out a story that they were wrong about that.
Also the ones that made it seem that Anderson Cooper was consoling himself with new man Andy Cohen--some retracted their stories and others just didn't bother.
Besides everything, Anderson Cooper is in media like them so naturally they're not going to push too far with this. AC probably knows some of their tawdry secrets and does have two shows where he can call them out. There's a little bit of professional courtesy that'll stop them from going all out against AC.

Ben doesn't OWN shit!
He "co-owns" Eastern Bloc with 2 other guys, and he "co-owns" Bedlam with another guy (who has a majority stake in the business).
Also, it's not like both bars are hot. Bedlam is still in right now, but Eastern Bloc's heyday is long gone. People don't get rich from being joint owners of a couple of bars...even in New York City. What would bring in the big bucks is if Bedlam or Eastern Bloc were franchised, but they're kind of too New York-centric to really work anywhere else.

Trying to argue with R112 is exhausting. She always wants to have the last word, no matter what. R116 should just ignore her. Why engage the angry nut? No matter what Anderson does or doesn't do, she'll always find fault with him. That much is clear by now, so why engage in a fruitless conversation with someone who's absolutely incapable of conceiving of any other way to look at things besides her own warped perspective?

Do you know R112 personally? Your acting like you do R117. I'm one of those people that was baffled because he wouldn't speak about being gay publicly but since he has we should support him. At least on that subject matter. Everyone is entitled to there opinions but I think we should at least give AC credit for speaking about it in front of millions of people.

Anderson Cooper seemed to have put the past — and the park — behind him at Saturday night's Madonna concert at Yankee Stadium. The anchorman pre-gamed in Madonna's suite with Ben Maisani, his long-time boyfriend who was photographed kissing another man in an NYC park last month. "They weren't overly affectionate, but it was obvious they are a couple," says an eyewitness who spotted the handsome pair along with Andy Cohen and a few pals.

R194 is halfway there but doesn't have the brainpower to go all the way. Ben has a military-styled haircut, not a typical business man's haircut.
A military-styled haircut looks great on a guy in a military uniform but Ben isn't wearing a military uniform. A military-styled haircut looks great on a guy in casual clothes, but Ben isn't wearing casual clothes in the photo.
Can you take it one more step r194 to figure why Ben doesn't look right in a business man's suit in that photo? If you're a true Benderfrau there's no way you can take that giant step. To do so would mean you're open to a "Ben hater" accusation from r191.

I thought about the same thing too when I watched that part of the interview. I wonder if that was an oblique reference to a past bf on Anderson's part. His relationship with Cesar seemed to be quite volatile, as they were constantly on and off.

YOU don't know this and we don't know this since he has never acknowleged Ben as his partner so stop acting like you know when it's clear you don't.
R214 I agree with you. Ben is uglier than dirt and honey all the muscles in the world won't change that. The bigger question is why is AC so ashamed of Ben?

R197 AC must not like Ben's face too much since he won't be seen with him unless it's in the middle of nowhere in the dead of night on a boat in Croatia. Even then AC threw a hissy fit and did not want to be photographed with Ben the slut. Give it up. AC does not love this man. Ben is nothing more than a rent boy (a warm body) that can be disposed of at any time. AC proved that a few months ago when they broke up and that recent pic of Ben standing behind everyone else pretending to be AC's bodyguard further proves my point.

Anderson doesn't have to tell the public that he loves Ben and he doesn't have to acknowledge him for most reasonable and thinking people to recognize that after almost 4 years together that Ben is someone VERY important in Anderson's life and I might add that he's not "ashamed" of him. Just because Anderson doesn't feel it's necessary to inform the public about his relationship and love of Ben doesn't mean that he's ashamed or that Ben's unimportant to him because that is clearly not true.
BTW, Ben is hot as fuck and AC knows it.

How can anybody in their right mind think he was talking about Cesar when Gremlin was just recently CAUGHT sucking face with his trick in public. AC was NOT talking about Cesar today he was talking about Ben and the way he's been treated that past few weeks. Duh!!!! It doesn't take an Einstein to figure this one out. Ben was caught kissing some random dude in public right? And we all know AC has some self-esteem issues he needs to work through. Why do you think he won't claim Ben publicly? Because he's not sure about Ben or the relationship. It's quite obvious. Actions speak louder than words my Dearies.

That's correct "dearie". Anderson including Ben in every aspect of his life is an action that speaks to how strongly Anderson feels about him. Anderson staying with Ben after those pictures were released speaks to how important keeping Ben in his life is. Anderson and Ben being together for nearly four years speaks to how much they mean to each other. Yes, actions speak louder than words, which is why if Anderson NEVER acknowledges Ben, we see by his ACTIONS, what Ben means to him.

AC and Ben have been on and off for 4 years. They haven't been together that whole time. That statement is definitely something I wouldn't brag about. What you're truly saying is AC has been a closeted for over 30 years, has finally come out of that closet and he still won't recognize Ben as his partner. It shows how money hungry Ben is to try and keep himself in the mix because someone with high self-esteem would not allow themselves to be treated like trash that can easily be disgarded.

That's right, sweetie, you keep telling yourself that if it helps you sleep better at night. How come Anderson hasn't kicked Ben to the curb, especially after those embarrassing photos of Ben making out with a hot dude, if AC really didn't give a shit about him? Your argument makes no sense. If Anderson really wasn't that serious about Ben, he would have dropped him like a hot potato as soon as those pics became public. The fact that he hasn't, and that they're still living together after this episode, shows that Ben means a lot more to AC than what you so desperately claim.

I want to know in what kind of alternate universe R230/R231 lives, where Anderson Cooper comes out of the closet to improve his ratings WHILE HIS DAYTIME SHOW IS ON A HIATUS AND WHEN HE'S ON VACATION FROM HIS DAILY NEWSCAST. If he really did it to boost his ratings, don't you think he would have done it on his show, instead of doing it online, while he was away? As to Anderson's claim that he was out since high school, he specifically said he meant that he was out to his family, his friends, and his co-workers, not to the public at large. There's no reason to doubt that he was out to those around him, since he's been known to leave his life as a gay man for years.

Whatever was the real context of those kissing in the park pics (old photos, evidence of an open relationship, actual cheating that was forgiven), the fact that Anderson and Ben are still together after they were published shows that AC treats Ben like an equal partner in this relationship. This is quite different from the way things were with Cesar, whom AC definitely treated like a second class citizen. Cesar would occasionally show up in Anderson's life when he was needed, and never seemed to have much of a say in the way their relationship worked. Anderson was constantly stepping out on him with other guys, and Cesar just had to put up with it and did as he was told. Cesar was never allowed to share much of AC's life, and was rarely seen anywhere in public with him (no Vanity Fair Oscar parties for him, although Anderson did take him to a fucking dog show once!). Things are very different this time.

AC's second season while the topics are a repeat of last year in the first two weeks I do like the new segment the first 15. It's kinda funny and quick. Overall the show does have a fresher feel to it. AC is still jumping in on guest though not allowing them to finsih speaking and it the show does feel a bit rushed. But it's a funnier show so far and it's welcoming now that AC is Publicly out. AC seems to have never had a problem with being gay unlike alot of people. At least from stating he came out in high school, told his mom, friends and all that. He's lucky unlike alot of people including myself. Tho I never had a problem with being gay I didn't want to come out because of my religious mom. But at 21, I came out to my mom. I'm 27 now and all is well, though she being religious wish I would "change" oh well....

I don't think Anderson liked Cyndi Lauper going off on Romney, he said a lot of people agree with Romney and he's probably one of them even though on 360 last night he was going after one of Romney's surrogates pretty hard. AC said all of the controversy may not even affect the race because it's still tied. Sounded like he was HOPING that Romney wouldn't be affected by it. He's wealthy and probably hates the idea of redistribution of wealth even though Romney's "facts" are bullshit.
AC also said he kicked someone's car after they cut him off on his bike. Man, he sure is aggressive and confrontational. Maybe it's just a New York thing.

I know some people think he's a pro-Romney Republican, but I really don't think so. I think he's trying hard not to take sides, as he goes after Republicans and Democrats alike when they're full of shit (and God knows both sides are guilty of that, especially during a campaign).
I actually thought that he seemed to really like Cyndi Lauper, it made me wonder if they're friends in real life.

No R272, the exact opposite is happening: for the first time, AC can truly be himself and say what it feels like to grow up being gay. It has nothing to do with what people want to hear, because his day time audience is mostly straight women (like you R272), and most straight people don't want to hear about a gay perspective (just like you too R272). Anderson cannot be accused of catering to his straight audience here, because if that was the case, he would stop mentioning being gay.

That's your opinion, and not a very perceptive one, R272. You simply don't like the fact that he can freely discuss his experience as a gay man and you accuse him of being more fake because you're homophobic, but that's your problem, not his.

It is him, but you don't want to see that, so you come up with stupid accusations of him being fake and playing an act. What's fake about discussing his lack of interest in women?

[italic]COOPER: Our final point tonight, not exactly the end of an era, but the end of a magazine, "Penthouse." Publisher Bob Guccione, the man who put the graphic in pornographic says the run of "Penthouse" magazine has come to an end. Newsstand sales are impotent, and the company simply can't get them up.
So deep in debt is "Penthouse," Guccione has even put his own $40 million mansion on the market. It's not a penthouse, but I hear it's quite a spread. "Penthouse" has been captivating the hearts of pimply teens and lonely Lotharios for 32 years now.
Who can forget their first "Penthouse?" Minutes of ecstasy followed by hours of guilt and shame, ah the memories. Buying your first porn magazine, the smell of the seedy newsstand, the leer of the guy behind the counter, the look of horror on your mom's face when she found it hidden under your mattress all crinkly and torn. Those were good times.
Remember the lovely ladies at "Penthouse," Bambi and Amber? Did we ever really get to know them? Vanessa Williams appeared. So did Gennifer Flowers and Paula Jones. She posed twice as I recall. Of course, most people read "Penthouse" for the articles and what articles they were. I don't actually recall any of them, but I'm sure they were really good. So, so long "Penthouse," hello Internet. I'm Anderson Cooper in New York. That's it for THE POINT. Coming up next on Larry King, Michael J. Fox sits down with Larry King for a candid conversation about living with Parkinson's Disease.

The angry fraus got all hysterical about that comment earlier on this thread and they accused AC of lying because of that Penthouse introduction. Only a really stupid person (or a delusional Anderfrau who'll cling to any statement that can be misconstrued as indicating an interest in the opposite sex) would interpret that as meaning that he used to jack off to Penthouse and got caught by his mom. I guess they still can't accept that he's 100% gay, even though that's exactly what he said in his coming out announcement.

Penthouse showed dicks. It had photos of couples. How is is dick in Penthouse the "opposite sex" of Anderson Cooper? Are you some stupid 14-year-old who never saw a Penthouse?
Straight men bought Penthouse for the photos of naked women. Closet cases bought Penthouse for the photos of the naked men alongside the naked women. It's easy to figure that someone like AC, who hid in a closet for three decades, would be checking out Penthouse.

I don't think R292 knows what a closet case is if that's what she calls a gay teenager who buys Penthouse to look at pics of dicks. Then again, she also used the term "twink" in her post R267 to describe the guy that Ben was making out with, which indicates she has no idea what a twink is. I guess this is what happens when clueless straight fraus try to appropriate gay terminology.

The delusional DL fraus are having a really hard time accepting what we gay men have known all along: that their precious Coopie was never interested in pussy. I said so myself for year, along with many others, only to be attacked and called a liar by hysterical straight women who claimed he was bisexual and even had a secret girlfriend (remember that one?). Even before he came out, he's made it perfectly clear that the female body was completely unknown and uninteresting to him, yet those deranged women are still arguing about some hypothetical Playboy story? How long will they rant about this? In his own words, Anderson is gay, always have been and always will be. The message can't get any clearer than that, but apparently it's still not enough for those stupid fraus who'll argue till their dying day that AC lied and misled them for all those years.

Yes, too much reality show stuff, I guess I'm biased because I don't watch X Factor/Idol/Dancing with the Stars/Housewives, etc, but I get really bored when he starts talking about that and I don't understand his Lindsay Lohan fixation. I hope he realizes that not everyone is "rooting" for her or gives a shit if she cleans up her act because I sure don't. I wish he'd do more adult topics and less about kids - there's something coming up about kids and pole dancing - I'm sure this doesn't concern most people. There are a lot of celebrities this season, he didn't used to have celebs on every day. I don't really like that, I like an interesting topic, but they pick strange stuff. Plus he needs to pay more attention to his co-host if he's going to have one, he usually leaves them flailing around, he barely acknowledge Retta after the first 15.

Please provide proof backing up your claim R334. It's clear that Anderson dated Cesar for a much shorter period than 6 years. From what I can gather, they didn't spend that much time together even during the period that they were supposed to be an item. If they were together for 6 years, how comes there's only 4 pics of them available? And don't give me the usual crap about AC not being famous enough at the time and people not taking so many pics back then, because it's not like he was totally unknown (especially after Katrina which was in 2005), and cameras were invented before 2009 if I'm not mistaken. There was always a lot of interest and scrutiny re: Anderson's personal life, dating back from at least the Mole days. If Cesar had really been part of AC's life for as long as you claim, there would be a lot more pics.
[quote]It didn't work out and Ceasar got out of the relationship.
From what I gather, Cesar didn't get out of the relationship of his own volition, but was shown the door. Interesting how you're so keen to rewrite history in a light that's favorable to Cesar. Why is that?
[quote]He's free and probably very happy.
Apparently Cesar isn't so happy, being unemployed for so long and having been kicked out of his HK digs that he could no longer afford, but keep on spinning R334!
[quote]It's obvous he wants nothing to do with the Coop or his issues.
The only thing obvious, apart from your determination to paint Cesar as some sort of saint whose star only got brighter once he moved on from Anderson, is that AC himself wants nothing to do with him, not the other way around as you desperately try to spin. Cesar hasn't been seen anywhere near Anderson since they broke up 4 years ago. Believe me, this has nothing to do with Cesar's decision. He would love nothing more than to be allowed back in the inner circle, but that ain't gonna happen. Why is that? Inquiring minds want to know.

There was also a report here, on DL, a couple of years ago that Anderson was seen talking to Cesar at a DVF fashion show. I think it was the one where photos showed up of Anderson in the front row with SJP, Andy Cohen, Barry Diller, etc.

Why do you lie R371, when the truth is so much juicier? Don't you think there's a reason why Anderson has cut all ties with Cesar in the first place? Now that would be so much more interesting to discuss, if only you knew what you're talking about.

R374, that comment reminded me of Ben's haircut in the most recent pic taken at Gloria's art opening. It was very short, and shaved on the sides. All the angry DL fraus were up in arms about it, but clearly Anderson likes that military look and wishes he could sport it himself if he could get away with it.

He's got a cute head shape, but I don't know about going as far as his co-host. He looks good close-cropped. Anderson seems very happy about the talk show even though his ratings aren't good. I guess he can stay on if Wendy Williams and other low rated shows can.

He can't keep doing the same topics he did on season 1 of Anderson. He's going to have some little couple on Friday's show, seems to me he already did that and it's not that interesting a subject. It's just a way of promoting TLC and other reality-based channels or something and it's very boring. I'm sick of him always talking about Honey Boo Boo. His producer Terrance acts and looks a little like Andy Cohen. Anderson's such a laid back type personality and they are both super hyper or at least Cohen comes off that way on his show.

R351,R352,R353,R355,R361,R375, are all benderfrau trying to discredit Cesar because they are intimidated and insecure by the "close" relationship AC had with him. No use in arguing with the crazies. They do this in every thread R362.
Cesar is a gorgeous exotical. AC had very good taste back then. I honestly don't think AC broke off the relationship. I think Cesar DID. He is a lot younger than AC and was probably introduced to very influential rich men being with AC. It is likely Cesar upgraded and is very happy with his partner. If he can snag someone like AC and keep him for 6 years he can snag just about any rich man and they will worship the ground he walks on.
I think the benderfrau bring Cesar up in every thread because they are trying to find out Cesar or any of his friends still POST here.

Here are AC's ratings. They are pretty good compared to last year. But Ellen, Dr. Phil and Dr. Oz are still tops with Katie leading the pack of newbies.
Source: The Hollywood Reporter
UPDATED: "Dr. Oz" also gets off to a strong start in its fourth season, and "Anderson" improves with a new format. While Katie got off to a strong start Monday, the best among the talk show newcomers, veterans Ellen and Dr. Oz returned with noteworthy season premieres.
our editor recommends Katie Couric Tops New Talkers, Pulls Best Daytime Premiere Ratings in a DecadeTHR Poll: Daytime Viewers More Likely to Watch Steve Harvey Than Katie CouricTV's Biggest Stunts, From Katie Couric Tossing Footballs to Steve Harvey's Hair SalonEllen scored a 3.0 in total households in metered markets, and its highest rating since the 2006-07 season. (Full national numbers wonât be available until next week.) That projects Ellen as taking an 8 percent share of the viewing audience, which would be her best in that measure since the show went on the air in 2003.
Warner Bros. and stations carrying Ellen DeGeneres' show have to be very pleased. Ellen was tops not only in households but also among women 25 to 54 (with a 2.2 rating among the key daytime audience demo), women 18 to 49 (1.7) and adults 25 to 54 (1.4).
STORY: Katie Couric Tops New Talkers, Pulls Best Daytime Premiere Ratings in a Decade
A year ago Ellen had a 2.4 opening-day rating in households, a 1.1 among women 18 to 49, a 1.3 among women 25 to 54 and a 0.9 among adults 25 to 54.
Dr. Oz, despite being forced into time periods an hour earlier in some markets to make way for Katie Couric's new show, delivered a 2.8 rating to start its fourth season. The Sony Pictures Television show improved on what was in that time period a year earlier by 33 percent.
That 2.8 rating for Oz is the same as the national household average in metered markets for Katie.
STORY: The Booming Business of Ellen DeGeneres
In Los Angeles, Dallas and Nashville -- the three markets where Dr. Oz is its lead-in -- Katie was the winner with a 3.5 household average, and Oz had a 2.8.
In the 10 markets where Katie and Dr. Oz go head to head, Oz was on top in households with a 3.1 average to Katie's 2.2.
That was easily the best among the new talk shows. The comparable numbers on Monday: 1.5 for Maury and Steve Harvey, 1.2 for Jerry Springer, 1 for The Jeff Probst Show and Wendy Williams 1.0 and 0.8 for The Ricki Lake Show, which was hurt because of a dispute in the New York market that kept the show off as much as 40 percent of all TV sets there.
There was also good news for the revised Anderson Cooper show now called Anderson Live. It scored a healthy 1.3 rating Monday in metered markets in total households, which was up 18 percent over a year ago.
PHOTOS: A Day in the Life of Ellen DeGeneres
Steve Harvey continues to hold his own. He started last Tuesday with a 1.5, went to a 1.4 on Wednesday, a 1.3 on Thursday, a 1.6 on Friday and had a 1.5 again this Monday. Overall that means that his viewership has quickly found its level. It is up 50 percent in households (on average for five days) over a year ago in the same time periods. It is up about 100 percent in every key female demo.
Katie's premiere rating of 2.8 in metered market households is the best launch for any syndicated talk show in ten years (since Dr. Phil in 2002). It is far above what other new talk shows have done in recent years. Last fall, Anderson was hapy to start with a 1.1 rating. While the huge start is impressive, there was some slight decline from one-quarter hour to the next so it is important to give the show at least a week or more to find its real level of viewership.
The reigning talk show top dog, Dr. Phil, was pre-empted Monday in many markets on CBS stations by the U.S. Open, so there is no comparable data. Dr. Phil makes his season debut Tuesday with a show that features interviews with friends of George Zimmerman. Dr. Phil on Friday will have Trayvon Martinâs parents on his show.

I guess he's hanging in there, but the talk show still needs work but I don't think they'll address any of the issues. I saw some angry comments from people who had reservations but were turned away when trying to see 'Anderson Live', they were pretty pissed off. The show needs work in ALL aspects evidently.
No sightings of AC and Ben recently besides that Gloria Vanderbilt even a week or two ago. Maybe over the weekend someone will see them.

I wonder what makes R383 think that Cesar used to post on DL. She has said that before, so I think she really believes it to be the case. Anyone apart from crazy R383 also suspects that Cesar was posting here? For his own sake, I hope not. Engaging with a delusional AC stalker like R383 wouldn't be a very good idea for Cesar to do. I doubt Anderson would encourage that. Having online discussion with insane "fans" is the last thing Anderson would want his own bf to do, and would be a serious breach of trust. Maybe that's why he broke up with Cesar.

I haven't mentioned Ben once in any of my posts, so why would you even accuse me of being a Benderson, R401? All I did was discussing Cesar, and the highly unlikely possibility that he might have posted here in the past. Not a single mention of Ben anywhere.

I agree R409. Does anybody else think ACâs show is just a regurgitation of last year? Heâs had about 4 or 5 guest on the past 2 weeks that was on last season. Andy Cohen is really pimping AC out by having every âreal housewifeâ under the sun on this season. I donât think he realizes this is hurting his show. Would Ellen or Keli have the same guest on over and over again? Nope. He just doesnât get it but I guess a hard head will make a very light wallet. Heâll finally realize all the mistakes heâs making when his show is cancelled. Right now heâs tied with Wendy Williams in last place. Anybody watching?
âWarner Bros.' Anderson Live! opened its sophomore season at a 1.0, even with the prior week. Anderson Live! is down 40% compared to the 1.4 it scored for its national premiere last year.
Anderson Live! tied Debmar-Mercury's Wendy Williams, which is headed into its fourth season and flat compared to last year. Source: Broadcasting cable.com

And Anderson was talking about only having one bedroom because he did not want family or any other uninvited guests staying over. That's when Bethany said you could have more than one person in the bedroom. Speaking of overnight guests or family, not Ben.

Anderson is pissed because Star Jones refused to come on his show to help boost his ratings so he concocted a plan. His feelings were hurt.

He sits at home eating de leche ice cream trying to figure out ways to stay relevant in hopes that people who think he walks on water will defend him to the very end. I think he's a very miserable person and is bi-polar. I don't even see how Andy Cohen can even stand to be around him because he's so bitchy. I'm sure his co-workers are snickering behind his back.

On Ben's Instagram, there's a painting of a lady in red - that painting was also in AC's old West 38th Street apartment because you can see it in the Instyle pics from 2004, so they must've brought that painting to the firehouse.

"Anderson also humiliated her and showed her up for the fool she is and people are applauding him for it."
Your clueless..... If Nene Leaks or Babara Walters couldn't get to Star Jones how in the hell do think a yellow-bellied comment AC made to her 4 months after the fact is going to hurt her. She basically responded in one small sentence on twitter and then kept it moving. Doesn't sound like someone who is humilated. She could have cared less. He was the one with the hurt feelings when she refused to be on his show. I'm not even a Star Jones fan but she was right. He's trying to conjure up ratings by feuding with her getting the idea from the Mariah Carey and Niki Minaj feud.
"Maybe you should join her fanclub, she could use the help."
Don't throw stones if you live in a glass house. It's not like AC doesn't need the help with his ratings. That's why he brought the comment up almost five months later to attmept to boost his sagging ratings on both shows mind you.

Considering that AC only came out 3 months ago, their time line is as distorted as their perception of reality!

Anderson is a closet racist. He hates anything Obama, he stans for Mitt Romney, you would think him and Arie Fleischer (who loathes Obama) are fucking, and he loves invoking smear campaigns against prominent African-Americans.
AC along with Fox news went on a smear campaign for over a year trying to create pressure in order to get Attorney General Eric Holder fired without having ALL of the FACTS. When the findings stated Eric Holder was not responsible for the border patrol officers death AC stopped reporting on it altogether. It was like it never happened.
I'm pretty sure he was embarrassed by the whole thing because his reporting on the story was so bad. Instead of making assumptions about other people's quality of work he should focus on his own. He's now obsessed with getting Ambassador Susan Rice (who is also African- American)fired.

Anderson has declined to an all time low by using that poor woman who lost her son over in Benghazi to come on live televesion and attack the administration. Why is he making this political? Let me guess, he stans for Mitt Romney. Listen to the questions he asked her. They were carefully crafted to make her upset. He's such a knee jerk for doing that.
This man will do anything for ratings including taking advantage of a grieving parent who just lost her son and is not thinking straight. He was too much of a coward to attack the administration himself especially after being wrong about Eric Holder so know he's using a different tactic by using the families to push his agenda.

For all we know, his relationship with Cesar may have been over even though they might have gone to Egypt together. I remember back in 2006, AC was often seen out with other men - I remember Gawker talking about how AC was out on a date with someone and that they had a long, intimate dinner - they knew about Cesar at the time but didn't say it was him. There was also a sighting of AC at some noodle restaurant or something in Brooklyn with a "curly-haired guy" according to Gawker Stalker, probably not Cesar. And what about that old pic of AC walking with this punkish looking dude in Central Park - all of these things happened around 2006-2007, so for all we know, he and Cesar may have been done as a couple then and in 2008, but were just hanging out. They certainly don't do that now and it's probably because AC has a more steady relationship.
