25. Nope, but his father is:

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/arianna-huffington/the-full-disclosure-tucke_b_16530.html

there is one thing that Tucker Carlson has failed to mention: That his father, Richard Carlson, is on the advisory committee of the Libby Legal Defense Trust, the GOP-heavy-hitter-laden group that has so far raised $2 million.

Indeed, Richard Carlson was the Early Money Is Like Yeast of Libby defense fund-raisers, having couriered a check to Libby's home the morning he was indicted.

And Tucker Carlson's connection to Libby's defense fund isn't just familial. A quick scan of the Libby website shows that Scooter's high-powered pals appreciate the things that Richard's boy is saying.

Just last night my 17 y/o son had to gather info on what issues Shrub will discuss in the "STFU" speech for a Law & Gov't class. I walk into the room and see he's watching Tucker ... he looks at me and says, "Mom, who is this guy? He's a total stoner! Look at those squinty eyes."

3. Good gawd

These media suckups are schizo--just this morning I heard him on the Bill Press Show, slamming Bush and trying to distance himself from the neocons. Wish he'd make up his mind, or at least choose which personality will be on display most often. He's making me tired.

Talk about a sucking money pit ... What a fucking shill he is!!! I felt sorry for A.B. Stoddard as he and Terry Holt both pooh-poohed the entire trial ("Who even knows who Scotter Libby is?"). Just two partisan hacks sitting around talking out of their asses ...

Not totally true: midnight to 1am Eastern is almost as good
(better for me, since I am on the West Coast and rarely get home
before 9Eastern).

Why does he think Fitzgerald should be "in control", and who should be Controlling him.

Fitz is going where the evidence leads him, and that is what good American Justice is all about!

that Tucker's father couriered over a check to Libby for his defense fund the day the indictment was read.

It's unfortunate that Mr. Carlson does not inform the viewing public of his obvious bias.

30. In reality, it was outrageous WH leaking and coverup that was out of control

Now we find out that not only were Libby and Rove and Armitage leaking like sieves but so was Ari. Where is the outrage over the fact that the WH denied and covered up the participation of all of these aides in the leaking (at direction of the VP) causing the investigation to be impeded and dragged out so long.

33. Tucker's dad contributed big bucks to Libby's defense fund

via dKos: http://www.dailykos.com/story/2007/1/23/16219/0262

Libby Gets A Little Help From His Friends
More Than $3M Donated To Legal Fund For Indicted Former Cheney Aide

I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby won't lack powerful friends or financial resources when he goes on trial on Tuesday. A private fund set up to pay the legal bills of the former top aide to Vice President Dick Cheney has collected more than $3 million since Libby's indictment 14 months ago.

(snip)
One of those friends is Dick Carlson, a former ambassador and Republican stalwart who has headed the Voice of America and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. (Carlson�s son is Tucker Carlson, the conservative TV pundit.)

Like many of Libby�s well-heeled friends, Carlson wasted no time in coming to his aid. On the day the indictment was announced in October 2005, Carlson said: "I sent a check by courier to Scooter�s house in McLean with the assumption that he�d need it."

That check was the impetus for what quickly morphed into The Scooter Libby Legal Defense Trust. A source close to the trust said more than $3 million has been collected to pay Libby's legal bills. The public face of the defense fund is a cadre of Republican heavyweights that include Mary Matalin, Steve Forbes and Jack Kemp.

That's right. It's just hell when you try to threaten some no-name who grew up in Flatbush, played rugby, and has faced down the Mob and they flinched, and he just laughs uproariously. Plus, somehow I'm thinking he'd take the side of the video store clerk.

43. Tucker must be a big fan of Scooter's writing skills and stuff...

SCOOTER�S SEX SHOCKER

Of all the scribbled sentences that have converged to create the Valerie Plame affair, the most remarkable, in literary terms, may belong to Scooter Libby, Dick Cheney�s recently deposed chief of staff. �Out West, where you vacation, the aspens will already be turning. They turn in clusters, because their roots connect them. Come back to work�and life,� he wrote in a jailhouse note to Judith Miller. Meant as a waiver of confidentiality, the letter touched off the sort of fevered exegesis more often associated with readings of �The Waste Land� than of legal correspondence. For even more difficult prose, however, one must revisit an earlier work. �The Apprentice��Libby�s 1996 entry in the long and distinguished annals of the right-wing dirty novel�tells the tale of Setsuo, a courageous virgin innkeeper who finds himself on the brink of love and war.

Libby has a lot to live up to as a conservative author of erotic fiction. As an article in SPY magazine pointed out in 1988, from Safire (� finally came to him in the bed and shouted �Arragghrrorwr!� in his ear, bit his neck, plunged her head between his legs and devoured him�) to Buckley (�I�d rather do this with you than play cards�) to Liddy (�T�sa Li froze, her lips still enclosing Rand�s glans . . .�) to Ehrlichman (� �It felt like a little tongue� �) to O�Reilly (�Okay, Shannon Michaels, off with those pants�), extracurricular creative writing has long been an outlet for ideas that might not fly at, say, the National Prayer Breakfast. In one of Lynne Cheney�s books, a Republican vice-president dies of a heart attack while having sex with his mistress.

It took Libby more than twenty years to write �The Apprentice,� which is set in a remote Japanese province in the winter of 1903. The book is brimming with quasi-political intrigue and antique locutions��The girl who wore the cloak of yellow fur�; �one wore backward a European hat��that make the phrase a �former Hill staffer,� by comparison, seem straightforward.

Like his predecessors, Libby does not shy from the scatological. The narrative makes generous mention of lice, snot, drunkenness, bad breath, torture, urine, �turds,� armpits, arm hair, neck hair, pubic hair, pus, boils, and blood (regular and menstrual). One passage goes, �At length he walked around to the deer�s head and, reaching into his pants, struggled for a moment and then pulled out his penis. He began to piss in the snow just in front of the deer�s nostrils.� MORE...

52. As opposed to Kenneth Starr?

Puh-leeze!!! But to the likes of Carlson, anyone and anything that shines the slightest bit of light on a truth they don't want to hear is "out of control."

BTW, did you know that Kenneth Starr was initially considered for the 1990 Supreme Court vacancy, but that Attorney General Richard Thornburgh and several other cabinet members were against him because he was considered "too soft" and not conservative enough? LOL!

(which was fine, actually, because it paved the way for the appointment of David Souter, who's been much more liberal in his votes than was ever expected, to the chagrin of conservatives).
