When will Carlson eat his shoes?

[RummyTheDummy]

This question has probably been asked before but does anyone know if a specific date/time has been set?

1. Happened already

I believe Hillary herself brought him a shoe-cake?

[trof]

3. true

It was a "right" wingtip shoe cake.
She was very gracious and good humored about it.
She's a classy lady.

10. What a weasel-dick!

4. Eat his shoes??? In about 7586761982726350091817 years

That asshole will never eat his shoes. Proves how arrogant these Pubs get, they think they are invincible.

last seen running for the hills..............................like the weasel he is.

5. Somebody clue me in

I missed out on what this is about. I heard about the Hillary incident with the cake, but what's the story?

6. Tucker said

something to the effect of "If Living History sells 1 million copies I will eat my shoes".

:)

8. "He would eat BOTH shoes and his bow-tie!"

The cake show is the only shoe he will eat. Even Paul Begala declared the issue DEAD yesterday - it will not happen.
He let his alligator mouth overrun his canary butt. And got away with it.

17. he's a punk/arsewhole

and I cannot stand the little :puke:

[PsN2Wind]

9. Bow tie

If only he had said "I'll stick one of my goofy bowties in my ass"!

[trof]

7. some weeks(?) ago

smug & smarmy Tucker was into his usual putting Hillary down mode and said on Crossfire, for all to see and hear, "If she sells a million copies of her book I'll eat my shoes and tie".
She did, and he did, sort of.
See my post above.

11. Here's the story:

(snip)

That's when the senator herself popped on the set, in Washington, with a giant brown shoe made of chocolate cake.

"It's a right-wing wingtip," Mrs. Clinton said to loud applause. She gave him a copy of the memoir, signed: "Tucker, you're number one million in my book."

"It was a trip," Mr. Carlson said in an interview later. "I had no idea she was coming. My producer had said: `We're changing the segment. Ignore your scripts.' I said: `Well, gee, Sam, it's live television. I'd kind of like to know.' Next thing I know, this woman who looks exactly like Hillary Clinton is standing there."

One aspect of Mrs. Clinton will soon begin looking different: her bank account. After the book sells about 1.3 million copies, Mrs. Clinton's $8 million advance will have been met, and she will begin earning 15 percent of sales, or about $4.20 per book sold, her lawyer, Robert Barnett, said.

CNN replayed the shoe walk-on several times. Mr. Carlson, who called the book "kind of dopey, kind of Midwestern-fifth-grade-girl-scout-leader," said he was impressed with Mrs. Clinton in person.

"I'm easily charmed in general and I'm particularly won over by witty inscriptions, and she had a good inscription," he said. "If Pol Pot came on the show and was charming and witty and good humored and had a good inscription, I'd say, `Well, Pol Pot, charming guy.' "

13. Hillary was a class act

She basically let him out of an incredibly embarassing situation with charm, grace, and humor. She does this for one of the crowd who hounds her mercilessly.

And in return, Tucker basically compares her to Pol Pot. What an asshole.

"I'm easily charmed in general and I'm particularly won over by witty inscriptions, and she had a good inscription," he said. "If Pol Pot came on the show and was charming and witty and good humored and had a good inscription, I'd say, `Well, Pol Pot, charming guy.' "

15. yeah

She gave him an out, she appeared as class act with a capital "C", and he still looks like a dick. I'd say that's a pretty good resolution to the issue.

12. Just imagine if it were James Carville and Ann Coulter

Can you imagine if Carville said he'd eat his shoe if Coulter sold a million copies of her book (of course, he'd know that was safe bet :evilgrin:).

Had the tables been turned, Coulter wouldn't have come out with a shoe cake...she'd probably come out with a loaded revolver and pop one off into Carville's head.

14. I could put my shoe up his @ss and via reverse peristalsis ...

it could come out his mouth (gross south park reference).

In fact, my working theory is that most repuke pundits are not expressing opinions but are actually voiding their solid waste through their mouth due to reverse peristalsis

16. Instead of really eating his shoes

I'd let him off the hook if he would buy a few hundred pairs of shoes for poor children or families in need.
