I thought I wasn't quite awake enough or that perhaps I had time-traveled! Meanwhile, it was a healthy mental exercise for me, figuring out what year I'm actually in.

that the man really only has one facial expression. I wonder if that is natural or if he practices it in front of a mirror every day.

it only serves to make him look stupid!

I remember Tucker from his Crossfire days on CNN and he didn't look like that all the time back then. I guess he made adjustments for his Fox audience, who probably look confused and befuddled all the time. "Oh look, Tucker is just like ME!"

James Carville used to have him for lunch on a regular basis. The best of course was when Jon Stewart was a guest. Watching a flustered Tucker trying to save face was priceless.

clothes look rumpled and slept-in, his hair looks greasy and unkempt, and his beard is scurfy. Like somebody who's living in his car.

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) appeared on Fox News host Tucker Carlson’s program on Thursday night to beg for forgiveness after calling the Capitol riot a “violent terrorist attack.” But it has only caused Trumpworld diehards to sour on the Texas senator. Longtime Republican operative Roger Stone fumed after Cruz called his initial remark “sloppy and frankly dumb.” “You’re enjoying your last term in the US Senate,” Stone declared. “What a pandering, philandering asshole.” Jan 6. “Stop the Steal” organizer Ali Alexander chimed in: “Ted Cruz apologizes for being dumb and lying. Now, let’s see if he’ll stand up for the due process rights of patriots.” The pile-on didn’t end there. Far-right shock jock Stew Peters called Cruz a “traitor,” while livestreamer-turned-Capitol rioter Tim Gionet told Cruz to go “f*ck” himself. Right-wing conspiracy theorist Alex Jones further floated the unhinged idea that the Texas senator wants to be a part of the Bush-era Republican Party and “start putting everyone in FEMA camps.”

Ted called it right, it was a violent terrorist attack.

I have no problem with that. Except for Ted backtracking and remembering too late it was just a bunch of rowdy tourists.

Poor ted! Forgot the script he was supposed to stick to!
