I know we were talking about Anderson Cooper in another thread, but I just read this transcript snippet on a weblog and had to post it here.
Coop was interviewing the Rev. Jerry Falwell about gay marriage last night when this exchange happened (emphasis mine):

FALWELL: Anderson, that's all a red herring. If you want to leave something to your cat, you can do that in your will...
COOPER: It's not a red herring. That's simply not true. It's not true. You know
we pay taxes.
