The Ticker: Chamillionaire, AC360, Geist

> Rapper Chamillionaire is the latest hip-hop artist to have something to say about Bill O’Reilly: “I don’t get him, man, but I think there’s a method to his madness and the crazy stuff that he says on Fox News…But [when this video came out], I felt it was only right, man. The timing for someone to come up and speak on a lot of that crazy stuff that was going on. And now we on to something different.” You can see the clip here (a little after 05:30). (h/t SOHH)

> Anderson Cooper will be anchoring “AC360″ from New Orleans this evening. As we previously noted, he is joining James Carville for a tour of the city.
