Tucker Carlson is back and it appears that his stint on Dancing With The Stars left him a bit frisky. In this interview on Fox, Tucker Carlson states that not only is the United States the only country with the moral standing to launch a preemptive strike on Iran but Iran “deserves to be annihilated.”
However, Carlson is not without moral qualms about another war . . . well not without qualms. He notes that he is worried how annihilating Iran might increase gas prices. For that reason, he opposes a war at this time. Some 76 million people to be annihilated and Tucker Carlson is worried about another buck at the pump?
I liked him more when his concerns ran from the Rumba to the Watusi.
If it is any solace, he is not alone in feeling that whole countries deserve annihilation, as reported on the same say. It is a sentiment found common in places like Iran, but of course they do not worry about gas prices like decent folk.
He’d make hellavuh poor porn actor too, however he swings.
He inspires the insult creation vein in me:
“Wipe the shit off your mouth, you don’t dress well in brown.”
or: “Didn’t your mamma teach you to wash your face and brush your teeth after kissing ass?”
Do for a start???
It’s not “Midnight Cowboy” class, but OK, huh?
bettykath,
his partner was typical proffs: tightly controlled imitation frenzy, but yes, he can’t dance. You can dance poorly or well; or you just can’t dance at all.
It’s just not there, no heart, no soul, no joie de vivre.
And he can’t dance.
What Gene said.
dress tucker in a fur coat and send him to ohio
Mike A. asks “And why is it that of all of the neocons who constantly demand we invade someone, none has ever worn anything green other than what can be stuffed into a wallet?”
Because they are by nature exploitative venal sociopaths would be my guess.
Tucker suffers from the consequences of not knowing the difference between enlightenment and indoctrination.
Thus he is another Universal Smedley.
I look at the schmuck’s photo and recall when he was the boy tie guy and I would bet on the following: rich mommy and daddy, prep school, weenie degree of some sort, spoiled kids, ritzy suburb, living off mommy and daddy still, never cleaned out a garbage can in his life, dont know nuttin about birthin babies and thinks that Iran is Iraq and Kuwait is Koran and killing them all is fine and dandy with mommy and daddy.
Lottakatz,
interesting analysis. I never thought of it, you’re right, considering the rhetoric, it would seem that the Iranians are deliberately pushed to the mistake, only to be punished for it later.
If that’s true, then there is a lot to fear about our own policy makers in this domain…it’s terrifying, we’re definitely not the saints we claim we are!
David Griffin,
I’m not even sure Tucker really believes the stuff he says.
I’m with idealist7 when he said that “Tucker is: a trial balloon testing for public reaction (paid), seeking air time”
I remember back when he had his shows, he kept trying everything that could keep him on the air. from PBS, CNN, MSNBC…
He tried the O’reilly approach, then the Scarborough approach, by having Maddow and trying to appeal to the Starbucks population…
I guess now, he’s going Michael Savage..
Mr. Carlson certainly understands that his comments were grossly immoral and hideously irresponsible. And why is it that of all of the neocons who constantly demand we invade someone, none has ever worn anything green other than what can be stuffed into a wallet?
Great clip anon nurse, a classic for sure but it still makes me cringe. đŸ™‚
Keith: “…Netanyahu said about our highest Military General (Dempsey), which was echoed by a few US senators present with him in Israel the past couple of days. They are trashing the white house, and our highest officials in a foreign setting.”
—————–
The Right wing in America has much in common with the right wing in Israel and the rise of the right here and there are feeding off of and emboldening each other. We have two friends in the Mideast: Saudi Arabia and Israel. We see how well our friendship with SA worked out and the Israelis are off the leash IMO. If I was Iraq, considering the covert war against against them and Israel’s war talk, I’d be doing everything in my power to get a nuclear weapon or 10. That leads me to think that the increase in hostilities against them are designed to push them toward getting weapons so they can be invaded/subjugated.
I just reviewed the “Dancing . . . ” clip Elaine posted above. I withdraw my previous surmise about, even someone’s idea of, pretty face. : (
Knave, fool, opportunist, or all of the above?
Mostly, I suspect, someone’s idea of a pretty face, camera appeal, and acceptable speech.
“Tucker is: a trial balloon testing for public reaction (paid), seeking air time (payent maybe later), seeking publicity to promote himself in general and hoping to be invited for a few trips and meals to do photo ops with Rep candidates, etc, etc. He’d do it to himself with a dildo if it paid and got him airtime. He’s the guy who gives whoring a bad name.
So he trying to find a branch he can swing on, which is not already occupied.” (id707)
Truth!
David Griffin: i think you got peanut butter in your Yiddish or maybe Yiddish in your chocolate, at any rate I learned this from a crossword puzzle last summer…who knew?
mensch·es. Informal.
a decent, upright, mature, and responsible person
that doesn’t sound like any description of Tucker Faye(thanks Roger Ailes(not that Roger Ailes, the Roger Ailes of goodness and light)) I’ve ever heard
anon nurse,
Great old clip of W!
Mike S.
What’s your take on israel. For me all congressional trips are about vote and headline grabbing. But our relationship to Israel?
I can see the scene when D reported in the Oval to O.
O: Did you show them your whang?
D. Well, they pulled out theirs and what kind of studs did you send me up against.
Keith,
I don’t get it either. But there’s a lot I haven’t got. Guess everybody’s got him figured for a thinkin’ man, not a crazy one like George.
Remember George, he threatened the whole world. “You’re either with us or the terrorists.” Then everybody got limp, at least the men did.
A mad crusader.
