Tucker Carlson

Carlson’s continued his trend of being a bow-tied wearing idiot spouting mostly nothing but right-wing claptrap. I really enjoyed when Jon Stewart tore into him on Crossfire, especially in light of comments like these:

Last week, MSNBC host Tucker Carlson, a well-known conservative pundit, let loose with a string of anti-Canada rants.

"Anybody with any ambition at all, or intelligence, has left Canada and is now living in New York," he said.

"Canada is a sweet country. It is like your retarded cousin you see at Thanksgiving and sort of pat him on the head. You know, he's nice but you don't take him seriously. That's Canada." Carlson also said it's pointless to tell Canada to stop criticizing the United States.

"It only eggs them on. Canada is essentially a stalker, stalking the United States, right? Canada has little pictures of us in its bedroom, right?"

"It's unrequited love between Canada and the United States. We, meanwhile, don't even know Canada's name. We pay no attention at all," he said.

It’s certainly not funny, which is what he was aiming for. I just don’t know whether that’s offensive or plain stupid. When you put something like that it matters little whether his bigger point is accurate.

P.S. I hate Tucker Carlson.
