Tucker Carlsons online publication The Daily Caller published a review of the new version of Carlsons old show Crossfire on Tuesday that went beyond a bad review and veered into a viciously personal attack against co-host Stephanie Cutter. The review written by the Callers Patrick Howley called Cutter, variously, a sociopath, a treadmill-stomping, Starbucks-chugging monument to modern self-absorption and an unmitigated monster.
A loathsome creature like Stephanie Cutter, the roots jutting out from her blonde dye job as black as the recesses of her soul, can push her way onto national television to sit next to a former Speaker of the House and two sitting U.S. senators, bemoaned Howley. A charmless, dead-eyed, tacky sociopath with no sense of ethics, an empty shell spewing her flat-throated bile without the slightest trace of self-awareness, can beat all of us to the front of the Darwinian line.
The pieces title, Crossfire Review No.1, implies that there will be more reviews to come. Crossfire was hosted by Daily Caller editor Carlson and Paul Begala in 2004 when Daily Show host Jon Stewart appeared as a guest and notoriously took Carlson and Begala to task for hurting America with their tedious back and forth and reduction of every issue to a left-right binary.
The shows already diminished audience fled and CNN mothballed Crossfire until this fall, when the show was rebooted with hosts Cutter and former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich.

If the man had any sense, he'd never bring up Crossfire.

He is going to live to regret that he exposed this all consuming envy.

I doubt it can be revived. It's like going to the circus. It's never the same as when you're a child.

and Patrick Howley is the guy who kisses the asshole.
