Much reaction following the first question at Thursday night’s CNN/Tea Party debate in South Carolina. John King weathered a blistering attack from Newt Gingrich after King asked about Gingrich’s second wife’s accusation that he’d asked for an open marriage before divorcing her in 1999.

“I have been covering politics for 25 years,” King told Anderson Cooper after the debate. “I understood that if I asked the question, he was not going to be happy with it, and he was going to turn on me. Knew that coming in.”

“It was my judgment, my decision, and mine alone,” King said. “If we’re going to deal with it, let’s deal with it up front, let’s not try to sneak it into the middle of the debate somewhere. And people at home either agree with that or disagree with that. You make the decision, you ask the question, and this is politics.”

David Gergen weighed in calling it, “one of the most explosive moments that we have seen in debate history,” and “also one of the harshest attacks we’ve had on the press that I can remember in a long, long time.”

For his part Gingrich told Cooper he thought “it was a terrific debate for all of us.”

“I thought the audience was really appreciative. I thought John did a great job. It was direct. It was tough.”

A CNN political analyst recently spent some time at Lake Como, Italy with actor George Clooney, filing this report about late night shenanigans that took place at Clooney’s villa:

I lost track of time, but by 2 a.m. or so — when I was hammered and was reasonably certain that others were, too — we had become raucous. Out of nowhere, Clooney jumps out of his chair and starts climbing a fence that overlooks the lake below. From the top, fully clothed, he counted, One… two… and jumped. I heard three just before hit the water. Within seconds, he was challenging our masculinity. Okay, guys, let’s see your stuff. One other guest was next up and jumped. Hell, I thought, I have an early morning plane and I don’t want wet clothes. So… what choice did I have? I stripped down to my skivvies, climbed that darn fence…. And whoa, it seemed like I was 30 feet above the water. One… two… I was in the water by three. It was very dark, a little cold, but terrific. So we kept jumping.

Eventually we repaired to his kitchen in bathrobes, trying to warm up. Out came a bottle of limoncello, and the conversation flowed on until I finally crawled up to bed at 4:30.

Who was it? Find out, and read about a practical joke Clooney played on Walter Cronkite, after the jump.

CNN has announced its coverage plans for the 2010 midterm elections. As in previous elections, new technology will be a major part of the coverage, with returning favorites like the “magic wall” and “data wall’ being joined by the “CNN Election Matrix,” which will break down data in a visual way.

The network already revealed it will be adding more “virtual objects” to its coverage.

“We are taking capabilities of the Data Wall and quadrupling it in order to report the story in the clearest way we can,” said CNN senior VP and Washington bureau chief David Bohrman in a statement. “Viewers are ready for a rich meal of election items and with CNN’s technology on air and online, paired with the Best Political Team, we will serve an unparalleled election night experience.”

Wolf Blitzer will lead the network’s coverage, and will be joined by Anderson Cooper, Candy Crowley, John King and Soledad O’Brien. Other anchors, reporters and hosts that will be contributing to the program include Jessica Yellin, Dana Bash, Brianna Keilar, Ed Henry, Dan Lothian, Suzanne Malveaux and new 8 PM hosts Eliot Spitzer and Kathleen Parker.

On CNN’s AC360 last night, during a discussion about the growing influence of the Tea Party movement:

David Gergen: “The federation also reflects their frustration at what they feel has been, uh, media misrepresentations over a long period of time.”

Anderson Cooper: “And fair enough on that, and I include myself on that, probably, early on.”

Here’s what Cooper was referring to. From just about a year ago, also during a conversation with Gergen.

> Fox News’ Chris Wallace was featured in the latest issue of Capitol File magazine — along with Winston, his yellow lab — where he talked about how he spends his free time. He also says he recently learned to fire a shotgun so he could go shooting with Karl Rove in Texas. (PDF here.)

> CNN political analyst David Gergen is the latest to start writing an Obama administration book, which was revealed by his editor at Simon & Schuster.

> Larry King has an exclusive interview with Kate Gosselin tomorrow at 9pmET.

Teabagging jokes — they’re all the rage.

The double entendres seem to have started with MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow and continued with her colleague David Shuster.

Last night, Anderson Cooper got in on the act, with a set up from David Gergen:

Gergen: “They still haven’t found their voice, Anderson. This happens to a minority party after it’s lost a couple of bad elections, but they’re searching for their voice.”

Cooper: “It’s hard to talk when you’re teabagging.”
