Is it fair to discount everything Tucker Carlson says simply because he's a twerp? Because, you know, he is. So it can't be a smear, right?

I've never been able to watch Tucker Carlson or any of his ilk, whether on the right or the left. Like virtually all TV pundits*, he uses people's real lives, as well as serious controversies, to create entertainment masking as journalism.

* To clarify: Some "pundits" are less irresponsible than others.

The day news became entertainment (and began chasing ratings) was the day the republic began its long journey to hell.

The law as written will not put a stop to these lawsuits. The plaintiff can simply sue on the basis that the defendant was not acting in good faith.

If you wear a bow-tie AND claim to be a serious political pundit you might as well have Carrot Top be your co-host.

No, Ara, you're right. It's not a smear to call him a twerp because it's true. But pointing out this truth shouldn't discount what he says because even twerps have moments of clarity. Even a bozo like Al Gore has them. ;-)

Yes, it's called an Academy Award. BTW, when is Bush going to get a moment of clarity?

Probably right after you do, Tim :)
