*ucker Carlson - encapsulation of everything that's wrong with the right
Don't ask me why I put myself through it...just saw *ucker speaking with Rachel Maddow (why she subjects herself to his sliminess is beyond me....are they paying her a fortune to ensure his idiocy?). Interesting discussion on whether we still have free speech - *ucker mentioned NY Times running the spy story an example of the power of the press to ensure that we will always have free speech....Rachel mentions that the Times sat on the story for a full year....*ucker ducks and changes the subject. ANYONE who can't see this obvious right strategy of constant lies and spin must be stupid or insane. Isn't it alarming to realize just how many Americans are just that - stupid or insane? Terrifying....

Well, that's my annual allotment of *ucker Carlson - maybe I'll tune in again for 5 min next year....or, I could drive nails into my eyes for a similarly enjoyable experience.

2. Nah, ya gotta view the glass as half full
where else can you see anyone as intelligent and well spoken as Rachel Maddow on cable or network TV? Or for that matter anywhere in the media? She regularly smacks bow tie boy down and does it with poise and grace. She won't back down from the wingnut idiots who often appear as guests. I'd put up with *ucker just to watch her.

6. Agreed - though I thought that in the brief section tonight she
played a weaker hand than I would have expected...she let him get away with far too much, didn't nearly go after his panopoly of lies as vigorously as she could or should have.

3. Another telling indication - all ads during his show are snake oil,
rip off, bullshit products for the very gullible or insecure amongst us (fools and their money soon parted...I suspect that most watchers of *ucker are fools!)

4. "encapsulation"
Isn't that word frequently associated with puss-filled cysts, as in: "He had an encapsulated cyst on his butt"?

If so, it is certainly a good word to describe little Tucker.

5. Tucker is the eptome of what's wrong with the right these days
he's smart enough to know better, but he insists against it.
