This just in: Tucker Carlson still a dick

Tucker Carlsons is back with a new show, but up to old tricks. The NY Times has this to say:

Jon Stewart appeared on Mr. Carlson’s program on that channel and complained that political pro-wrestling debate programs like “Crossfire” were “hurting America.” CNN’s new president, Jonathan Klein, said that he agreed wholeheartedly with Mr. Stewart’s assessment, adding that CNN would stick to more substantive reporting and analysis.

“The Situation” is an hour long, but Mr. Carlson has not taken the extra time to deepen the debate. Each episode hurls up a dozen different topics, from the Texas Ten Commandments case to obesity, transvestite beauty contests and Hillary Rodham Clinton; the discussion is as hurried and abrupt as an auction at an agricultural fair. Mr. Carlson does not debate a liberal counterpart, he throws questions out at guests. And he is surprisingly churlish. He interviewed Lory Manning, a retired Navy captain, on whether military women should be allowed to work in combat zones and slapped down her reasoned arguments with schoolyard sarcasm, dismissing her position as, “Mutilation is a woman’s right.” New York Times

In other words: Still a dick.

(If you have no idea what I am referring to with the ‘dick’ reference, you should go watch this.)
