Bow-tied anal cyst and Fox 'News' regular Tucker Carlson was never going to trouble the Nobel prize committee. To be blunt, he was always dumber than a bucket full of pig-dribble...but he's outdone himself. Carlson has managed to make pig-dribble look like Richard Feynman.
Reacting to the news that comedian Tracy Morgan's car accident was caused by a Walmart truck-driver who fell asleep behind the wheel, Carlson wondered if it was appropriate to punish the truck-driver. Carlson burbled witlessly:
“But, I mean sometimes people — and I’m not defending anyone here,” Carlson continued. “I’m really struck by the idea that someone who falls asleep — which is something that everybody does every day, not necessarily considered an act of recklessness — does it unintentionally, nods off is a criminal.”
Thank you, Tucker Carlson, for clearing that up. Many of us were indeed wondering if falling asleep at the wheel of a truck while doing 60 MPH on the interstate constitutes 'recklessness'.
Well, according to America's Biggest Cretin (sorry, Louis Gohmert; must try harder): "...not necessarily..."
Next week: Tucker Carlson explains why performing open-heart surgery while asleep is 'not necessarily' negligent.
