Blast from the Past. At Daily Kos on this date in 2007—Oh, Tucker! That was just awful!:
In what was surely one of the most hollow, pathetic pieces of partisan hackery ever witnessed, Tucker Carlson actually manages to get himself schooled by Dennis Kucinich here, when he claims that removing Cheney from office would be meaningless, since his role as Vice President is "to go to funerals for foreign dictators."
"Really? You really believe that?" asks Kucinich, peering out from under a raised eyebrow.
Nobody in America—or anywhere in the world, for that matter—believes about Dick Cheney what Tucker Carlson just tried to claim, for the sake of saving his argument. "Hack" is a word that gets thrown around a lot when we're talking about big media types, but this really is the kind of sheer idiocy that defines the term.
One of your certified, Washington, DC Very Serious PeopleTM, ladies and gentlemen.
What a damned joke. MSNBC, get this butthead off the air immediately.
