Has anyone seen Anderson Cooper vacationing in Colombia? Has he been hanging out at La Dolce Vida?

See his favorable mention of Colombia in the New York Post:

I prefer Lou Dobbs, a GREAT American, and Glenn Beck. The rest of CNN can rest in peace. Fox is the only "fair and balanced American television network! They give BOTH sides of the issue.

Anderson’s view: A week in Colombia

Posted: 05:09 PM ET
Permalink | 81 Comments
So I’m back, and yes I actually did take a whole week off. I can’t remember the last time I did that. As I’ve said before, I don’t relax all that easily and since most of my vacation days are used up shooting stories for 60 Minutes, I rarely take a whole week off. I spent last week in Bogota and Cartagena, Colombia.

Many of you will say to yourselves, “why in the world would anyone go there for vacation?” But the truth is, it’s a great place to go. Cartagena is an old colonial city that, even during the worst years of violence in Colombia, was a safe spot. Bogota is a vibrant, chaotic place, that hums with life. It’s got great food and music. There are huge problems with violence in Colombia, narco=traffickers and armed groups are still out of control, but the violence is way down, and at no time did I feel unsafe.

Everywhere I went in Colombia, complete strangers, who didn’t recognize me from television, asked me if I was enjoying my trip, and wanted to know if there was anything they could do to make it better. Anyway, it was nice to discover a new place, and I will definitely be going back.

Campbell Brown and Erica Hill did a great job while I was away, and I want to thank them for holding down the fort.

Tonight we focus on the race in Pennsylvania. The ongoing back and forth about bitterness, and how it is playing on the trail. We also go in depth on the ongoing drama in Texas over the polygamist compound, and the repercussions last weeks raid is having on polygamist communities across the country and in Canada.

I will be broadcasting from Miami tonight, and back in New York tomorrow. It’s good to be home, and I will see you later tonight.

Glenn Beck? please tell me for the sake of civilization that you are joking. Lou Dobbs is pretty kool but he has a hard for being so against immigration of Latin People. someone should advise him that they are the largest minority. He is so prejusinced against Latinos.

Smile if you are a thinker!

Anderson Cooper is just pretty kool because he has so much energy, but he does not touch on really important topics, however I would blame CNN for that.

Smile if you are a thinker!
