Tucker Carlson is a dream boat (UPDATE: Tucker Carlson is an irredeemable asshole)

Not my type, really.

Plus, I have always felt he was trying to steal George Will's thunder with the bow tie schtick.

plum tuckered out cunt.

but-but-but whose bow tie will I direct my burning rage toward now?

sucks, his show actually became watchable these last few months.

Agreed, but my hope is that this means Rachel Maddow will finally get her own TV show! *crosses fingers*

I hope he stays in DC for a while so I still have a chance to randomly spot him across the street, run through four lanes of traffic, leap over a beggar and break his insipid jaw into seven thousand granules with a single left hook

otherwise I guess I'll see the little shit in hell

Oh well, I guess it's David Gregory instead. I wish he would co-host with Tony Snow.

lol angry

ann coulter is pretty

david gregory's such a bad ass. the way he would occasionally ask a question of tony snow twice! or maybe even a follow-up!

shoulda been maddow.

Home at Cato:

"I've admired the Cato Institute since I first read its publications, passed around like samizdat on my college campus," said Carlson of his new affiliation. "When I moved to Washington, I discovered that my impression of Cato had been right: The people I met there were some of the smartest, bravest and most interesting in the city. While others are blinded by expedience or group think, Cato stands on principle, always. I'm honored to be affiliated with it."

Carlson will use his initial time with Cato to focus on writing a book on the state of the American polity. Through other writings as well as media and public speaking appearances, he will also seek to educate the broader public about how the libertarian philosophy differs from the standard liberal and conservative orthodoxies embodied in the two main U.S. political parties.

Somehow I had missed Nat Hentoff had ended up there too.

he is white and has a penis.

I like how, in context, that reads like it's supposed to make him more like Halle Berry.

Does that guy's body go on for ever? I'm imagining it ending in some kind of Jabba the Hut tail.

i wonder if graham finally did see another person naked

It was ironic, in a way, that it would be the Daily Caller that published e-mails from Journolist. A few weeks ago, its editor, Tucker Carlson, asked if he could join the list. After asking other members, I said no, that the rules had worked so far to protect people, and the members weren't comfortable changing them.

In any case, Journolist is done now.

Hi Tucker - I'm interested in the remarks you made today about Iran; specifically, that it "deserves to be annihilated" ( http://thinkprogress.org/security/2012/02/22/430302/tucker-carlson-iran-annihilated/ ). I have a few questions about that:

(1) Do you have any specific ideas for how Iran should be annihilated? Do you favor a ground invasion, or a nuclear attack, or carpet bombing or something else? I realize you included the caveat that we should assess what effect it would have on energy prices, but assuming that's not an impediment, how should the annihiliation be achieved?

(2) Given your history of being a vocal proponent of American wars, have you ever considered enlistening and fighting in any of the wars you favor? I'm not suggesting that's an obligation for war advocacy: i'm just genuinely curious if you have considered it, and if so, why haven't you done it?

(3) When formulating your thoughts about annihilation, did you give any thought to how many Iranians would be killed from that? Do you have any idea of how many would die? Is there some number that's unacceptable to you?

Thanks -

Glenn Greenwald
SALON

this is exactly what they should be doing!

i think they should ask questions that the answers matter to, not leading questions designed to titillate your blogspot readership

This nimrod says Iran should be annihilated and then says he "misspoke"? Last week Diane Sawyer and Brian Ross practically begged Iran to attack us in the Strait of Hormuz.

he's also terrible, but asking him why he never thought to serve in the military is such a groaningly transparent question

i think they should ask questions that the answers matter to, not leading questions designed to titillate your blogspot readership

As to the first part of your sentence, he did; as for the second part, c'est la guerre.

if gg was more honest he would've sent him these three questions instead:

1. Are you a secret psychopath?
2. When did you stop being a secret psychopath?
3. Are you a chickenhawk?

That's not titillation: that's tantric Stingsex.

to whom does the answer to the chickenhawk question matter? it's scoring a political point.

BREAKING NEWS: Tucker Carlson Admits He 'Never Seriously Considered' Serving in Army

haters be hatin'

I've always been pretty surprised by how many people actually email GG back given his track record up putting up email exchanges on the web without asking them.

I find Greenwald admirable and annoying in equal measure but he isn't the first smug, sanctimonious egotist to do invaluable political work. It comes with the territory.

he says in his column that Carlson asked for part of this to be kept off the record and he complied.

xp

Morbz, I don't object to anything you've written here but I want to support your religious convictions and I believe posting on this thread may go against one of your self-declared principles. <3 much love enjoy pitchers & catchers!

Assuming all of the allegations in the article are true, Carlson and Coglianese fail to do one important thing. They do not rebut or even attempt to rebut any of the reporting that Media Matters has made regarding inaccurate or misleading comments in conservative media.

Alex Pareene lets it rip:

Here’s how dedicated Carlson is to producing quality journalism: He hired, as his executive editor, a former strategist for Berman and Co., the “communications firm” that specializes in the creation of shadowy front groups and biased “research” for their clients in major industries. A man whose job was to deceive journalists on behalf of corporations, as editor. He hired Ginni Thomas — the wife of Clarence Thomas, major Tea Party figure and complete weirdo — as a special correspondent, mere months after Thomas had explicitly lied to a Caller reporter.

Carlson is now engaged in giving the people — the idiotic, angry, paranoid people — what they want, which became incredibly apparent once the Caller began tackling the Trayvon Martin tragedy by launching a campaign to prove that Martin had been a thug. It was barrel-scraping racist garbage. Martin’s Twitter feed and social media presence were cherry-picked to make him seem scary because he engaged in adolescent macho posturing. It was convincing proof that Martin wasn’t as “innocent” as he seemed, if your definition of “innocence” is “not young, black and male.” Asinine race-related trolling is now a major Caller beat, naturally, because, again, it’s good for traffic. I don’t think Carlson is remotely as racist as he is sexist and homophobic, which just makes it even grosser that he’s willing to exploit conservative racism for fun and profit.

factoid the berman in berman and co is David berman of the silver Jews dad

A company that makes YouTube videos w/ titles like "Asleep in Taco Bell drive-thru" & "Hooters Waitress Tells Cop: 'I Can Take It All Off'" is suing the Daily Caller — saying the conservative website has been stealing its videos.

ok this Obama crack cocaine sex orgy thing is pretty hilarious apparently Tucker says the guy is credible because he took a lie detector test but doesn't mention he actually failed it lmao

the resurgence of the "I had gay sex with Obama" guy in 2023 is an unexpected plot twist I've been enjoying

Remember that alien who kept switching his vote in 1992? What's that dude up to?

carlson reviving a dead , disproven lie from years ago about a political figure who isn't even in office on a platform no one looks at any more is some zombie shit. who gives a fuck.

What we really should be talking about is the Texas Air National Guard

ok this Obama crack cocaine sex orgy thing

Was scrolling up confusedly for months to try and find this thing before I noticed the dates

who gives a fuck

the shrunken, tattered remnants of his FOX NEWS audience. iow, no one of sound mind.

No-one watches his Twitter stuff, despite Musk's desperate gaming of the system, do they? Guff like this feels like some kind of last gasp, before the churn of what I'll laughing call the "culture" sends Carlson through the u-bend to his inescapable destiny next to Glenn Beck and all the rest of the tired and wrung-out ghouls. None of the "stars" are bigger than the structure in this world of right-wing media demegoguery, and even that structure seems to be degrading in the face of Newsmax et al, who are, in their moment of cannibalising the mothership, making the whole thing more atomised and cliquey, which is surely not their point.

MUST SEE TV

Far-right pundit and former Fox News host Tucker Carlson confirmed on Tuesday he was in Moscow to interview Vladimir Putin, and said he will air his conversation with Russia’s president to counter what he described as pro-Ukraine “fawning pep sessions” by western media covering the war.

Speculation had been growing for days that Carlson, who was dumped by Fox last year for “getting too big for his boots”, had traveled to the Russian capital to meet Putin, whose reasons for invading Ukraine he says have a right to be heard by the American public.

But his visit, which reportedly has included visits to the Bolshoi ballet and dining in fine restaurants, has drawn accusations he is acting as a propaganda tool for Putin, whom he has frequently defended. Russian media, meanwhile, has hailed Carlson as a celebrity “who speaks the truth”.

Bolshoi & Beluga, dude knows how to party

Riding the caviar train

The hustle never stops.

I like picturing him unable to sleep in a Moscow hotel suite, sweeping the room for hidden mics and cameras.

Imagining tucker on a tramp steamer out of turkey hoping to find safe passage to moscow via oxcart

Greenwald must have hooked him up

in Russia, Czar interviews you

Oh they definitely hooked him up with hookers and blow as well as ballet tickets

Also does Putin know this guy does his show on Twitter, lol

I think it’s reasonably clear from whenever he talks about the US that Putin has been a fan of Carlson for a while.

regardless my own opinions of hookers and blow-- or ballet-- those preferences are his most defensible ones tbh

Seems like a risky life choice

Don’t stand near any open windows above tree first or second floor, Tuck

From Dancing With The Stars to Russian propagandist

oh how the mighty have tread water

Who would even report on his death? Some dude in Oakley's streaming from the front seat of his truck?

released on VHS as Fuckher Carlson, Tonight

hoping this interview is conducted with each of them at opposite ends of a thirty foot long table

The splendor adds to the enjoyment of the meal.

I'm not sure Tucker quite got what he came for, Putin bringing a different presentation than the one ordered

idk does Carlson care at all what Putin says? was there a point besides the optic?

I think to an extent, even if its just to bolster and solidify the optic. Obviously its still a win in so much that he did the interview, but as to whether it delivered what might have been hoped for, I think it was a miss

It also wasn't really all that clear what Putin wanted (or got) out of this interview either, kind of a flop all round

Both of them got attention!

In its repackaging, the New York Times has done a much better job for both Putin and Tucker than either of them were able to manage for themselves

i listened to this. it was stupid. putin's arguments about russia's historic right to control ukraine based on events in the 1300s are not going to convince anyone it was fine for him to start a destructive war there.

hundreds of thousands of deaths. tucker looked like an asshole. *tucker's* point -- that the US funding of ukraine is making the war more deadly than it should be -- is not what putin was talking about.

if that even is tucker's point, i couldn't really tell. he is against funding the war.

Putin's a crackpot.

Tucker is only against funding the war because it's "not in America's interests." Otherwise he loves him some war.

Putin saying that Poland was at fault for Germany’s invasion in 1939 should be getting more press.

I figured this guy was a Beltway hack. But.
