Could Tucker Carlson be more of an idiot?
Talking about the US giving aid to the Tsunami victims. (The guest said that it was a good way for America to show leadership, and essentially good PR.)

Tucker: Where is the proof that giving money will improve our image, (make us more popular.)

We've spent 200 billion in Iraq and we're not BELOVED there. It's essentially aid - we're rebuilding the country and bringing democracy.


Gosh Tucker, I don't know - maybe because you were the cause of it needing to be rebuilt? I can't believe he said that with a straight face.

5. Just when I think I couldn't have a lower opinion of him - I do
He can't really believe half of the bull*#%^ that comes out of his mouth.

25. He couldn't say that without believing it --- Otherwise...
he would be embarassed that he would say something so stupid.


When someone makes a statment like that it needs to be thrown right back at them hard enough so that they understand their stupidty.

Something along the line of if someone raped, slapped and abused your wife for a week... forced your children to live outside without food or shelter for a week... and castrated you while your wife watched... then brought in a doctor to attend to your wife and children until they recover and a psychologist to get over your ability to have children would Tucker opinion of that person be better?

6. I'm sure the Iraqis love the nuclear waste we've left all over...
Edited on Tue Jan-04-05 05:02 PM by purduejake
Babies with birth defects, illness, etc. Gotta love it! I'm sure the insurgents are happy, though. I heard they were collecting our used radioactive munitions to make some dirty bombs. God, the damned ingrates.

edit: link with some info and figures from other conflicts. I'm sure we're using much more of it now. <http://www.cursor.org/stories/uranium.htm>

I'm just waiting for the day when we pay American contractors to clean it up and then bill the Iraqis or act like we're doing them a favor.

9. 200 billion dollars of aid in the form of war.
Edited on Tue Jan-04-05 05:06 PM by alvis
I wonder about these people. Do they say it for the paycheck, they believe it or a combination.

On edit:
I suppose Tucker would Let Them Eat War.

10. from the sublime to the truly ridiculous
No, Tucker couldn't be a bigger idiot even if he were to make it his life's mission. But, and I hate to admit this, I sure do like to watch him try. He is such a buffoon. A court jester in training. Oh well lets hope he gets that jesters job soon. You go Tucker.:bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

11. Gosh, Tucker, this Tsunami aid might be different, since we
aren't BOMBING them! Of course with BushAmerica, one can never be quite certain when they might start.

14. Only if he dumped the bowtie in favor
of the string tie as a symbol of his absolute devotion to the Bush family.

15. We're "bringing democracy"
What a frickin farce. "Democracy". Oh. Is that what we've brought to these people--including the 200,000 who love what we've brought so much--that they're collectively trying to kill us?

Maybe, before America decides to be so generous and do favors for people, we should first ask if our services are needed.

"We'd like to bring you democracy! The first phase, 'shock and awe' entails 10,000 bombs dropped on your cities. Then, we'll kill 100,000 innocent civilians, destroy your homes, kill your friends, relatives, neighbors and your dog groomer. Then we'll destroy entire cities. We'll imprison many innocents and torture them, put hoods on them, shock them, make human pyramids out of them, beat them and in some instances--kill them. Ok...would you like to sign up for American democracy? We can have boots on the ground tomorrow!"

That's not democracy. That's democrazy.

Every time I think he's hit rock bottom, Tucker Carlson reaches for the primer cord and blasting caps and goes a little lower.

22. Tucker
Normally I'm not a violent guy but in his case I'll make an exception and say I'd like him to take that stupid bow tie and shove it where the sun doesn't shine. But first before making him do that, I would persanally like to ring his punk neck with it.

Who the hell gave this idiot a job to begin with.? Ooops I forgot. It was cnn.

29. Hmmmm could we somehow connect him with these Repugs...
If we could somehow get more of what tucker says into the public and keep labeling him a typical repug. That hopefully would discourage people from identifying and involving themselves with that party.

24. Maybe if soneone were to kick Tucker in the face
with a size 12 army boot and then offer the little bow-tied prick a bandaid to stop the bleeding he might get a clue, but I wouldn't count on it.

27. Could you believe that asinine comment???
Maybe, Tucker, because we are bringing democracy at the point of a gun???? DUH???? I cannot believe that they allowed him to get away with this! What a jerk, and so was Carville, who let him get away with it. It all gets me sick.

31. His bow tie is a fan that sits idly, waiting to blow away brain cells.
Edited on Tue Jan-04-05 08:58 PM by tiredofthisstuff
Tucker Carlson reminds me of the little ass in high school that would tell on you for smoking pot while snorting crushed Prozac off the back of a toilet. Such as his career, he has fed on the pain of others whilst wallowing in his own filth. It will not be a sad day when he is found naked in a shady motel with his hand shoved up a dead donkey's ass.(I Mean No Ill To The Donkey)
