Bow-tie Boy Mea Culpa

[mindfulNJ]

Our boy Tucker Carlson must have loosened up his bowtie a bit and let some blood flow to his brain...speaking about the war:

“I think it’s a total nightmare and disaster, and I’m ashamed that I went against my own instincts in supporting it," he said. "It’s something I’ll never do again. Never. I got convinced by a friend of mine who’s smarter than I am, and I shouldn’t have done that. No. I want things to work out, but I’m enraged by it, actually."

2. Did he say it out loud on Crossfire?

If not, and he continues to spout the party line then he's just proving what a whore he is.

[SeveneightyWhoa]

3. No, he said it in an interview.

With NYTV.

8. He needs to say it OUT LOUD on CROSSFIRE

The VERY large soapbox he used to regurgitate Republican Party propaganda every day that led us into this shithole. Otherwise, it means nothing.

[SeveneightyWhoa]

9. Yeah right. He would never.

He represents "the right" on Crossfire, so he must form a stable caricature of what "the right" is at that point in time.

Right now, "the right" is pro-war and viciously, uncompromisingly pro-Bush, so that is what Crossfire Carlson is as well.

4. oh, tucker, just how smart is that friend?... hmmm...

...maybe you ought to reexamine your opinion of his mental capabilities. Maybe he's just a dumb fuck with a big mouth and a messianic complex.

5. "I went against my own instincts"

Whaddya mean, Pretty Boy? Your instincts are for gathering more money to yourself. Now that being the flag-waving jingoist doesn't pay like it used to, you're running like mad to get to the front of the other parade, and pretend that you were leading it all the time.

Sorry Tucker, doesn't wash. "Oops, my bad" doesn't come anywhere near atoning for all the thousands of dead bodies your cheerleading caused. If you resigned your position, shaved your oversized head, and went into a monastery for about five years, I'd be inclined to start thinking you might have had a change of heart, but as it is, you're just a twenty dollar whore who's decided to work the other side of the street for a change.

Hillary should have force fed him a pair of Manolos.
