7. bio

Born the spring after the "summer of love"


Tucker Carlson
http://www.nndb.com/people/765/000027684/
Tucker CarlsonAKA Tucker Swanson McNear Carlson

Born: 16-May-1969
Birthplace: San Francisco, CA

Gender: Male
Race or Ethnicity: White
Sexual orientation: Straight
Occupation: Pundit, Columnist

Nationality: United States
Executive summary: Conservative dweeb on MSNBC

Tucker Carlson's father was a longtime anchorman on local news in Los Angeles and San Diego, who later in his career served as Director of Voice of America in Europe, and then as President and CEO of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. Prior to his hiring at MSNBC, Carlson wrote for the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, Policy Review, and The Weekly Standard, and came at issues "from the right" on CNN's Crossfire. He now hosts Tucker Carlson: Unfiltered on PBS.

His stint with CNN came to an end after a October 2004 episode of Crossfire, wherein comic Jon Stewart skewered Crossfire and specifically Carlson for "hurting America" with debate that was loud but rarely enlightening. "What you do is not honest," said Stewart. "What you do is partisan hackery. You have a responsibility to the public discourse, and you fail miserably." Several weeks later, in announcing that Carlson's services would no longer be needed, CNN president Jonathan Klein said, "I agree wholeheartedly with Jon Stewart's overall premise." He promised that CNN would be moving away from what he called "head-butting debate shows".

Carlson famously promised to eat his own shoe if Hillary Clinton's memoirs sold a million copies. When the book sold well over a million copies, Clinton presented Carlson with a cake baked in the shape of a "right wing-tip.

Patricia Caroline Swanson is always listed in his and his father's bio.. (She's heir to the swanson food corp..and his STEPMOTHER)..

I wonder who his BIRTH mother was/is..

4. I heard he was from California, but from Southern part

Like Palos Verdes or somewhere else that's wealthy and tilts conservative.
