MSNBC Hires Tucker Carlson for New Show
http://apnews.excite.com/article/20050202/D880M0B00.html

"MSNBC announced Wednesday it has hired the bow-tied conservative commentator Tucker Carlson to be host of his own prime-time show, starting sometime this spring."

I guess now it's official.

18. They should use the quip...
... Carlson made one morning on CSPAN's Washington Journal for the show's title: "I SNEER FOR A LIVING."
(He said it quite proudly, too.)

9. Who does this guy blow to keep getting jobs?
Carlson has got to be the most uninteresting pundit I've ever seen. Even the wingnuts on the right don't like him. No one likes him. How the hell does he manage to bounce from network to network with such ease.

19. and they gave one to Monica Crowley too
:puke:...

rabid rightwingers are "acceptable" to them, yet only the most milquetoast and moderately unnattractive dems are even allowed to share the stage..and then only to be pointed at , shouted at, and talked over..:puke:
