When did Tucker Carlson become such a dick? He used to just be a

[redstateblues]

Nerdy moderate Republican. I tried to watch a little to see how FAUX was reacting to all the stories that broke today. He's a mean jerk.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

1. He's always been a dick.

I don't remember a time when he wasn't a dick.

[redstateblues]

5. Maybe the bow tie made him look clownish before

I guess you've got to be a jerk to get a prime time gig at FAUX

[onecent]

22. YES! He's always been a dick

[Egnever]

23. Let me add to the chorus

Carlson is a life long dick.

[joeybee12]

24. Agree. Nothing more than a douchebag in a bow tie nt

[get the red out]

30. I agree

He has been a dick from the first time I ever laid eyes on the little fucker.

[TransitJohn]

2. Birth?

[PJMcK]

26. Conception (n/t)

[Cha]

3. Always.. maybe more so now

[madaboutharry]

4. He is bitter.

He wanted to be the next William Buckley. When that didn't work out his only option was to become an asshole.

[LompocDem]

9. I don't know. I think Denis Leary, NSFW audio

Was kind of right in '93 about being an ass.

[Docreed2003]

14. Lmao...thanks for the blast from the past! Spot on!

[smirkymonkey]

15. Perfect!

[Zoonart]

31. Thank you for that!

That is perfect and I'd never seen it.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

6. He really always has been a dick.

He was NEVER a moderate Republican, nerdy or otherwise.

[redstateblues]

8. I just remember him getting his ass kicked on Crossfire

On a daily basis- most notably by Jon Stewart

[Crunchy Frog]

12. Yes, Jon Stewart called him a dick to his face that time. He's always been one. n/t

[JHB]

20. Yeah, I used to call him "Ducker" because of how often...

...he rang that silly bell they had to call for a time out.

He's always been a dick, but these days he's only catering to the Foam Club for Elephants, so has lost even the meager throttle of a mainstream venue and having to maintan even the appearance of reasonableness.

[jalan48]

7. I bet he was even a dick in prep school-bow tie and all.

[world wide wally]

10. A few years ago he told a story about how he and some of his friends beat up a gay kid

in the high school bathroom.
How's that for an asshole?

[Warren DeMontague]

11. are you kidding? That dude was born a dick.

[JI7]

13. he has always been a jerkoff dick . he was never moderate or nerdy

[smirkymonkey]

16. Tucker Carlson DICK

[OnDoutside]

17. Money ? An attempt to appear relevant to cons ?

[SticksnStones]

18. He was a little prick who grew up to be a big dick

[coco22]

19. He has always been..

He is just as bad as Slannity. I still remember when he had a show on msnbc and he and his buddy Willie Geist laugh and dance about Democrats.

I forgot the issue I have hated Willie Geist every since he is full of shit many are fooled by him.

[Bengus81]

21. Always been an ass for the decades I've seen him....

And usually the lower the ratings the more ridiculous they have to get to pander to the knuckle dragger base of Repubs.

[DefenseLawyer]

25. I must have missed the day he was a moderate

He's always been a smarmy little right wing prick.

[Jonny Appleseed]

27. Jon Stewart whooped him so badly that he became a demon, kept alive by his lust for revenge

[johnp3907]

28. You mean when was he born?

Try Wikipedia.

[MineralMan]

29. When was he not?

I can't remember that time, really.

[JTFrog]

32. I prefer calling him an asshole.

Just sayin.... I don't like gender based slurs.

[ksoze]

33. Carlson's rise to dickdom began at a very early age...

...in fact, from the exact moment the delivery doctor slapped his bow-tied naked body into life. For a while, his mother suggested they leave the umbilical cord attached so the other boys would not make fun of his shortcomings. When it later fell off in the gym shower, many believe his move to republican poster boy began to take shape.

[BumRushDaShow]

34. He and Ron Christie were 2 of the earliest quintessential RW dicks-as-pundits. nt

[Fla Dem]

35. No from the time he was on "Crossfire" on CNN he was always a far right ideologue.

I don't watch him now, so can't say he gotten worse. But he was pretty obnoxious back in the early 2000's. It wasn't just his positions, it was his arrogance.

[BainsBane]

36. He has always been a dick

That's his nature, irrespective of his particular position on the RW ideological spectrum. I expect he's moved right along with the party, though I haven't watched him since he moved to Fox.

[jrthin]

37. Always was a dick. nt

[Chiyo-chichi]

38. Yep. Always was.

A little thing I posted circa 2005. Richie Rich is much more likeable. I was going for resemblance. Scarborough didn't have the morning show at this point.
