sorry if this has been posted. Please provide a link if it has.

Thanks.

Tucker said Stewart was sniffing Kerry's seat and was Kerry's Butt Boy. Unbelievable.

Stewart IS God!

I love him.


(Nice whoring for the repubs by Begala (friends, meaning McKinnon, work for Bush and Bush is a nice guy and NOT a liar)and calls the Bush debate"wire" a nut case leftie conspiracy. I was surprised that Stewart missed that story but, of course, he has a new baby and is promoting his book and was on vacation)

2. Homophobic remark

Tucker pretends to be outraged by our next President acknowledging that Mary Cheney is a lesbian, but he uses homophobic/derogatory statements. He should be censored by CNN.

This is an outrage.

4. Tucker

He came accross as a real Dick head, and Stuart told him so right on the air. :P

7. Write CNN & ask if they support Tucker's on air use of homophobic slurs.

I don't watch much on CNN but I'm wondering if this is the level of "civil discourse" the "most trusted" news network favors. Disagree with one of their hosts and you get called a "buttboy?" Perhaps CNN and Tucker Carlson would care to clarify that term for those in their audience who may not know what activity that refers to? And how that language is appropriate on a network that wants us to take it seriously as a "trusted" source of news and political discourse?

Let's thank CNN for proving Stewart is right.

13. Sounds pornographic to me.

Maybe we should complain to the FCC. I'm sure they would be shocked at such explicit sexual language, especially since "Crossfire" is on at such an early hour that little kids could be watching.

3. BAWHAHAHAHAHA!!!

CARLSON: I do think you're more fun on your show. Just my opinion.

(CROSSTALK)

CARLSON: OK, up next, Jon Stewart goes one on one with his fans...

(CROSSTALK)

STEWART: You know what's interesting, though? You're as big a dick on your show as you are on any show.

(LAUGHTER)

CARLSON: Now, you're getting into it. I like that.

STEWART: Yes.

CARLSON: OK. We'll be right back.

[seventhson]

14. Tucker Buttboy:" ... as big a dick on your show as you are on any show."

(LAUGHTER)

CARLSON: Now, you're getting into it. I like that.

Tucker Buttboy likes being called a big "dick"?

Which way does HE swing.

Talking about butts and seat sniffing?

Tucker is just buttnasty


AND the question Stewart asked was a really persoanl and reasonable one at that.

This was really outrageous

[TomClash]

5. Tucker Carlson looks like everyone's buttboy

6. Buttboy...dick...

FCC fine?

[NYCGirl]

8. Cable isn't covered by the FCC. (eom)

NT

12. FCC

So if the Jackson wardrobe malfunction had happened on ESPN, it would have been okay? (With the FCC?)

[NYCGirl]

15. They have no jurisdiction over cable. (eom)

NT

[SemperEadem]

17. FCC covers broadcast, not cablecast

you have to pay for cable. You don't have to pay for broadcast, hence the difference.

so, to answer your question--no, they wouldn't have had the same doors open to them to go after Jackson if it had been on ESPN---however, rest assured that someone, somewhere would have whined, stomped, held their breath til they turned blue and all other overly childish expressions of complaint and grievance over something like a glimpse of one of the first 4 things that is shoved into the face of every newborn human being on the planet.

10. Bowties

I can't imagine wearing one of them.

I'd be a big grumpy pants I'm sure.

[gordianot]

16. Seriously

This needs to be investigated by the FCC. Disgusting, creates a visual image for me much worse Ms. Jackson's wardrobe malfunction.

[SemperEadem]

18. it's cable, which you have to pay for, so they're not going to investigate

if you want him censured, then boycott his show and advertisers. But the FCC isn't going to do squat about it because cable doesn't fall under its jurisdiction.
