Goodbye bowtie (Tucker Carlson)


MSNBC Cable; NBC News; Tucker Carlson
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you’ve watched the show before, you may have noticed that I look different. I’m not wearing a bow tie. This is odd for me. I’ve worn a bow tie on television every night for the past six years, and for 15 years off-air before that. Since I was in the 10th grade. I like bow ties. I’ve certainly spent a lot of time defending them.

But from now on, I’m going without. No ties at all.

No, I didn’t lose a bet. It is not a political statement. I didn’t ditch the bowtie as a protest, or in solidarity with any oppressed group. It’s not a ratings ploy. I just decided I wanted to give my neck a break. A little change is good once in a while. I feel better already.

So to the three of you who watched for the bowtie, I’m sorry. To the rest of you, who don’t take a position on neckwear one way or the other, we now return to our regularly scheduled programming.....

1. I just decided I wanted to give my neck a break

He's not the only one.

[Hobarticus]

4. LOL!!!! Post of the day!!!!

:applause: :applause: :applause: :applause: :applause:

[Demit]

5. Good one!

[madeline_con]

7. Bwahahahahahaha

:evilgrin:

[cassiepriam]

2. Great, his head will now fall off.

That bow tie was the only thing holding it on.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

3. He's still the same pencil neck asshole he's always been. n/t

[WillYourVoteBCounted]

6. Jon Stewart humiliated him out of that tie

Bow ties look so dorky, why do men wear them?

There are few and far apart any men who look good in
bow ties.

He still is a dork and yucky.

[Jacobin]

24. Exactly!!!!

[Zookeeper]

25. He IS yucky and dorky...

I say he should keep the bow tie. But, I'm partial to truth in advertising.

[Atman]

8. Those clip-ons are a bitch when your arthritis kicks up

Stop jerking off, Tucker, and maybe your knuckles will heal.

[terrya]

9. But he still has that poofy looking hair!

Well, losing the bow-tie really isn't going to make much of a difference, now is it?

[DeaconBlues]

13. I think if he got a haircut MSNBC security would tackle him

McKinney-style. Without the 7th grade spelling bee look nobody would know who he was.

[tanyev]

10. He'll be making up for it with some new headgear:

[SharonAnn]

23. Oooh, cool! I have one of those hats.

[Crunchy Frog]

11. Has he finally reached puberty?

This smacks of adolecsent rebellion.

[DeaconBlues]

14. Nah.

His mother has just stopped dressing him.

[Botany]

12. Stick with it

Don't worry Tucker, plenty of women will like the Glen Campbell hairstyle
too .... as long as you have money.

[Marr]

15. I give a shit.

Some professional media clown- our 21st century version of the jester- changes his costume and he thinks I need an update?

Thanks, Tucker. Whatever.

[DeaconBlues]

18. Well, at least he was being honest when he wrote:

"So to the three of you who watched for the bowtie, I’m sorry"

Actually, he would have been more honest if he wrote: "So to the three of you who watched my show, I’m sorry"

[carolinalady]

16. Translation: Tucker-we want you to attract the younger, hipper

crowd that Olbermann catches every night. Screechy Rita was not able to do it, so we are gonna move you to Prime Time. The only thing is--you gotta lose the tie.

[alcibiades_mystery]

17. Republican affect took a header roundabout 8 months ago

And the execs at NBC just told him so. Next, he'll be wearing love beads and promoting Suburu Outbacks. What a shill.

[blondeatlast]

19. But will he ever change his pretty, pretty hair?

I'd like to see him with a pompadour, a la Trent in "Swingers."

[DeaconBlues]

20. How about a crew cut?

Tucker says he's against the war, but he sure does attack other people who are against the war every chance he gets, and he advocated voting for the bastards who got us into Iraq. I say he put his money where his mouth is.

[blondeatlast]

22. I can see his whiny ass crying now, clutching his pretty, pretty

brunette locks and crying for mama.

[debbierlus]

21. The tie wasn't the problem...

I thought Tucker had a little hope. He certainly has attacked Bush from time to time. But, alas. He still is a arrogant lil Republican guy who has the 'short man's' syndrome. Many shorter guys do not suffer from this...But, there are a few who feel they have to compensate for their lack of height with being arrogant, bullying, condescending, insulting....

Tucker is the classic example.

Perhaps, he is suffering from being small in other areas as well (we know he has a small brain)!

[EST]

26. Don't forget "prick!"

I am worried about him, now. Without the bow tie the condom might slip off.

[Ksec]

27. maybe now, oxygen can flow to his brain

Lets hope so.

[freeplessinseattle]

28. Since the 10th grade?? no wonder he's such a bully

probably got teased mercilessly in high school (and I would have been one of the teasers)

btw, he's pretending he wrote this piece for only 3 people? why bother making a big deal of it then? what a dork!

[Judi Lynn]

29. His show was on our tv for a few minutes tonight, & I never noticed

his bow tie was gone. I think he overestimates his impact! I did turn to my husband to ask him if he knew Tucker wears a toupee. Hmmmmm.

[Reciprocity]

30. What it is, is he's a whore, pure and simple.

Way back when he used to follow Keith's show he was somewhat more liberal. Then he got the slot after Joe Blow and oops turned into the nasty little turd rethug he always was.

Guess what the giant brains at MSNBC now have wised up to the fact that Keith's audience isn't sticking around for Cosby's, help white girl in trouble stories. And now have scheduled Tucker back after Keith. So of course losing the bowtie is the first step for us to forget what a dick he truly is. Yes they think we are that stupid!

[SheWhoMustBeObeyed]

31. He did it to accommodate his second chin

I'm the last person to criticize another for gaining weight, but while waiting for Countdown to start one night, I noticed he has plumped up a bit. Stress eat over low ratings much, Tucker?

[grasswire]

32. will he be dressing like Ron Reagan now?

Reagan dresses in the hip liberal fashion. He always looks great, and contemporary. I don't think Tucker can pull that off, nor can he pull off the sartorial splendor of Keith Olbermann.

[No Exit]

33. He's got the "Saddam" look now. Must want more of a bad-boy image

Saddam never wears a tie, either.

Tucker the Wingnut Welfare Baby is irrelevant, anyway.

[Crankie Avalon]

34. So he grew out of a teenage (10th grade, he says) affectation...

...he still reminds me of Chris Elliot's character in "Cabin Boy."



He still has the hair, so all he needs now are the shortpants. :eyes:

[Atman]

35. My non-designer jeans are preventing a group grope with college co-eds

That's gotta be it. I've been wearing plain-old Levis since I was a teenager, and I've NEVER been able to get a dozen 20 year old cheerleaders to do me in a hot tub! Clearly it is time to change my brand of pants.
