should cover how some of the other olympic gold hopefuls are preparing as well
Really would like to see the interview...
As a gay man, it was inspiring for me to see you, another gay man, interview a hot straight man, Michael Phelps, and maintain your composure.
You inspire gay men everywhere. See you again in the Chelsea Equinox steam room!

- 60 Minutes is one of my favorite TV shows. It's hard to find such good TV programing nowadays, that's the reason it is so disheartening when the programing in the show completely stinks.

See all 12 CommentsToday's disappointing moment was the interview Anderson Cooper had with Michael Phelps.
As a gay man I completely understand his crush on people such as Kenny Chesney and his appreciation to people like Adele and gay icons such as Lady Gaga. Although when he splashes into the pool with someone like Michael Phelps, and a few years later insists into re-interviewing a guy who has become one of the most successful Olympic athletes, he hits high notes by exposing us to Michael Phelp's feats , but he misses when the essence of such interview delivers us nothing but information about a guy who is not so sure of himself.
I wish that very much like other respected 60 Minutes correspondents he would keep this respectful program worth of watching for it's breakthrough research and investigations rather than cheap interviews with olympic hopefuls.
