Tucker Carlson gets SHIT-CANNED!!!!

[Vektor]

Guess they won't be offering him another contract...
Maybe getting OWNED by John Stewart didn't help!

1. I bet he shows up

to lick Rush's balls or something regularly now. OR better yet get a program on the fair and balanced Fox network to bash that liberal CNN

[eleny]

3. I thought he was going tp get a show of his own on MSNBC

[Maddy McCall]

12. The only place I've seen that news is through a troll at DU.

33. They reported his "talks" with MSNBC

on NPR last night; I was listening on the way home. IIR, his previous boss at CNN is now at MSNBC negotiating with him for a spot there.

[imenja]

34. Jon Stewart

announced it last night on his show.

[Chipper Chat]

6. I've wanted to smack him several times. But in his defense...

I thought he made a decent reporter. I forget where he was reporting from - maybe Afghanistan or maybe even Iraq?? Maybe if he loses the cockiness bushsmirk, and anncoulter-attitude he could be salvaged. After all, he likes lesbians!

[Kurovski]

18. He also reported Bush's mocking of Karla Faye Tucker

a woman who Bush, as Gov of Texas, put to death, Then Bush made fun of the Born-again Ms. tucker when she begged George to spare her life.

Carlson still remains an asshole of the highest order. I did once have a bit of respect for hom three or so years ago.

[bpilgrim]

15. on PBS

peace

[imenja]

2. Word is he's getting his own show on MSNBC

He's replacing Deborah Norville. I can't get too excited about it. He's not anywhere near the worst. Hannity is the one I really dislike, even more than BO.

[Vektor]

4. Hannity is definitely NOT

my favorite guy. What a tool.

[Maddy McCall]

8. Where did you hear this?

From a freeper troll on DU? That's the only place I have heard it.

[imenja]

19. On DU, a thread yesterday

I have no reason to assume it was a "freeper troll" but it is entirely possible it's an unfounded rumor. I guess time will tell.

[Robbien]

5. Not only is this a duplicate, it isn't even the headline of the article

are you sure you meant it to be in LBN?

By the way, MSNBC is hiring Tucker.

[Maddy McCall]

9. Where is a link showing this?

Again, the only place I've heard this rumor is from a freeper troll on DU.

[txindy]

13. It's on MSNBC. Here's the link to the story on their website

The last line is the most telling, esp. since it's posted on MSNBC's own site.

http://msnbc.msn.com/id/6792280/

[Robbien]

14. There is a thread in LBN with over a hundred posts in it

here
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=102&topic_id=1124360

edit: and the story on the MSNBC hiring Tucker is here

http://www.philly.com/mld/inquirer/10560594.htm

Where MSNBC said there is a 60% chance they are getting Tucker.

[demwing]

20. WOULD YOU STOP!

Read the original post, follow the link, and read.

third paragraph. Final sentence:

"Carlson has been talking with MSNBC about a prime-time opening replacing Deborah Norville."

Quit harping!

25. You were given a link in the very first POST!

If you choose NOT to read, who can help you?

And you have a lot of nerve telling people to be nice or shut up. Physician, heal thyself.

[Maddy McCall]

26. Have a nice day.

:hi:

[Bono71]

7. I liked crossfire...to bad it looks like the show is getting canned as

well.

[alexisfree]

10. exit stage and right!

[hoi polloi]

17. Teach bow tie

tying. Is it true he might go to Bergdorf Goodman's on fifth avenue and teach the art of bowtie tying to NYC executives and media types?

[Mr_Spock]

11. "I guess I come down more firmly in the Jon Stewart camp,"

"I guess I come down more firmly in the Jon Stewart camp," Klein told The Associated Press.


HAHAHAHA Jon got Carlson fired and Crossfire cancelled - HAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[gjb]

24. Jon is lethal. When he calls you a dick on your own show and....

you don't have a come back you are H-I-S-T-O-R-Y. No comeback is dead air and dead air in broadcasting is lost dinero.

Tele Tubby Tucker reminds me of every self satisfied conservative student council president/cheerleader/validictorian/frat boy zombie I've ever met. Good riddance and good luck selling your ass in Times Square.

Also this is sweet vengeance as a Canadian. Canada to Tucker: we're holding a dog-sled race and we're short mutt. Are you interested in the job?

[saltpoint]

16. Good verb.

And just the right place for ol' Tucker.

[Must_B_Free]

21. I was glad to hear it put that way also!!!

I knew he was fired, but I didn't realize that he was SHIT CANNED!

[saltpoint]

23. : )

[raysr]

27. They don't need him

anymore, the dem party commited suicide.

[saltpoint]

30. I suppose Carlson is employable enough, so he'll --

-- be able to buy groceries and pay the rent.

But to tell you the truth, I'm sort of glad that he's off Crossfire.

[ragin_acadian]

28. tucker carlson shit-canned?

how apt.

tucker carlson IS a shit-can.

[Az]

29. Stewart made a great point

Jon Stewart (daily show ) pointed out that Carlson already had a new job lined up at MSNBC. Compared it to musical chairs except there were the same number of chairs as people.

They just shuffled the cards a bit.

[Must_B_Free]

31. relegated to nightsoil duties...

[Ell09]

32. How is this good news?

The one show that features a mostly fair debate between the left and right is canceled?

Tucker getting his OWN show on MSNBC without having a Democrat like Carville or Begala present to counter his spin?

So, now Judy Woodruff, O'Reilly, Carlson, and Scarborough all have their own shows.

WHERE is the liberal talk show? I'd much rather have Tucker on as part of Crossfire than have him get his own soapbox, no matter how minuscule the rating are at MSNBC.

[Prisonerohio]

35. I agree.

It was a decent show. Occasionally bits of truth would leak though. Where is the liberal show. When do we get to scream Shut Up at republicans guests.

[Lucille]

36. CNN is just trying to denigrate him as he goes to the competition

Just as Fox did w/Zahn.

A confederacy of weasels.

[itzamirakul]

37. I am going to email CNN and thank them for cancelling Crossfire.

Then I will email MSNBC and ask them not to give Tucker Carlson a show of any kind. Whether that does any good or not, I don't know, but it will make me feel better.

And also, now that I think of it, I am going to email PBS and tell them to forget MY donations as long as Carlson has a show on their channel.
