Looks like our report on Anderson Cooper's secret CIA summers caught his penetratingly-blue eye. The CNN anchor responded within hours with a post on his show's eponymous blog, titled "My summer job...nearly 20 years ago." The gist of his reply: Aw, shucks, why would anyone be interested in li'l ol' me?

"As a college student, I had a number of summer jobs and internships, including working at the CIA," he wrote, noting that this was, like, a really, really long time ago. "The Bangles' 'Walk Like An Egyptian' was on the radio. I was 19-years-old, and like many college students was curious about a variety of careers."

Then he did his best to quash any fantasies the revelation might inspire among his many admirers: "I know the CIA may sound more exotic and mysterious, but it was actually pretty bureaucratic and mundane, at least the little bit that I saw of it."

His parting shot: "Oh, yeah, in case you're interested, after I graduated college, I briefly worked as a waiter, but I decided not to make a career out of that job either."

Of course, for all we know, he could still be taking orders to this day.
