Donna got all flustered and Anderson doesn’t even know what it means. LOL. Those crazy commentators!

I hope white people don’t do to “boo” what they did to every other thing that Black folks have ever said.

Wait… isn’t it too late?

I turned this on last night right when she was saying are we still on TV and was wandering what happened. Thats funny. Anderson Cooper saying boo. lol
Bianca

that was… awkward.

white people already say “boo” – at least in my neck of the woods (stay-gentrifying bk)
and didn’t one of the women say boo on sex and the city once? i only saw the show, say, 5 times, but i’m pretty sure one of em said it.
Steve

that was absolutely hilarious when it happened LOL… but she’s said boo several times… She called Wolf Blitzer her boo too
LH

Hilarious. She turned red! But isn’t “boo” played out?

Bianca, that was my point too. I am pretty positive Cooper knows what Boo means. He was either doing it to be funny, or he was saying it wasn’t sure what she meant in that context. I mean, maybe he doesn’t. But I think he does.
