Anderson Cooper tells Letterman about Egypt attack: “I’d never been punched in the head before.”

Anderson Cooper LettermanAnderson Cooper is not an anchor who stays behind a desk when there’s a big story happening somewhere.
He spent lots of time in New Orleans covering Hurricane Katrina and in Haiti after the devastating earthquake there. He’s emerged unscathed through all of that and more.
But that was not the case last week in Egypt when he was attacked twice – including being punched in the head more than 10 times.
Anderson is back in the U.S. for now and appeared last night on The Late Show with David Letterman.
“I don’t recommend it,” he told Dave of being attacked. “I’d never been punched in the head before.”
While Anderson does not think his attackers knew who he was, Letterman pointed out that “you…just standing on a corner, call attention to yourself.”
Replied the Silver Fox: Yes, I’m like a newt who’s emerged from underneath a rock. Look for the pale, skinny, gray-haired man.’ Not too hard to identify.”
