i don t think. again, i couldn t care less. i m accepting. what that about? it s ridiculous. he thinks he s talking to like a montana audience maybe but this is i mean this is ridiculous. he s on a national stage and he s this is a liberal democrat? i mean, come on. does he understand the base of his own party and where his party is? again, it s not something you joke about. i don t make insinuations about people s sexuality. any good politician knows this. first rule of holes, stop digging absurd. john, gloria, peter, thank you to all of you. now, next, it s the tea party versus the establishment. as republicans pick new house leaders. now the votes are in. plus, iraq under attack. cnn s anderson cooper joining us live from baghdad with the latest on the growing crisis. and president obama s decision to send hundreds of military advisors. when folks think about what they get from alaska,
