Tucker Carlson Crosses His Legs When Jon Stewart Speaks
Castration anxiety poster boy Tucker Carlson has a long rant up at the Daily Beast all about how Jon Stewart is so not funny. Carlson is especially upset about the fact that Stewart has a hit TV show and Tucker has none.
Carlson is seriously holding a grudge about that CNN gig Stewart helped him lose. And why not? Those old Crossfire days were the best days of Carlson's career.
Much like Tucker's deranged view of Hillary Rodham Clinton . . .
"[T]here's just something about her that feels castrating, overbearing, and scary. . . I cross my legs involuntarily every time she comes on the air" . . .
there's little logic and much emotion in the Daily Beast rant about why Tucker hates Jon Stewart. John Cook over at Gawker does a fine dissection of Tucker's piece and notes that the fool did get one line right:
"The relationship between Stewart and the media is a marriage of the self-loathing and the self-loving: He insists their real news is fake, they insist his fake news is real."
