Tucker Carlson Says Al Gore Is Like George Bush

Brent Budowsky

It had to be the most preposterous segment in the history of cable television to witness Tucker Carlson say Al Gore and George Bush have much in common.

Granted, Tucker’s comments were sandwiched between the expressions of sneering contempt that he holds for Gore. Sadly, the guests on the show either lacked the intellectual firepower or minimal courage necessary to rebut this incredibly bizarre and laughable analysis from the host…

On what matters, Al Gore and George Bush have zero in common, and in fact, Gore is the exact antithesis of everything Bush stands for and does…

General Electric has now embarked on a major policy that bears a close relationship to what Al Gore has been advocating for decades. In fact NBC and its cable properties have done outstanding work recently on climate change and global warming, from “The Today Show” traveling the world to CNBC profiling green businesses.

When I hear Tucker sneering and leering with contempt for Gore, it reminds me of JFK’s famous line during the Cuban Missile Crisis: “There is always somebody who does not get the word.”

Budowsky serves on the Advisory Council of the Intelligence Summit and is a contributing editor to Fighting Dems News Service. He handled intelligence issues for Sen. Lloyd Bentsen when the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act was originally passed, and was legislative director to Bill Alexander, then the chief deputy whip of the House. He can be read on The Hill’s Pundits Blog and reached at brentbbi@webtv.net.

...at least when Bush isn't falling-down drunk.

Tucker is a shit eating weasel. Albert Gore is not. Major difference.

So the front page can see more of our corporatewhorism at work.

I posted a rant about this very segment last night and I'm still spitting mad over it. Thanks for the links & story.

And good to know your historical quotes, Brent!

“There is always somebody who does not get the word.”

One could feel pity for the little carlson kid if he weren't such a sanctimonious, traitorous, self-righteous A$$hole.

That Gore is actually just like Hitler. :eyes:

Both Bob Franken and Roger Simon were countering Fucker at EVERY TURN -- every time BowTieAss tried to find SOME comparison they might agree with, they disagreed ... It was great to watch him not be able to get traction, right there on his own damned show ...

Al is able to complete whole sentences, moron* can't. Al is a human being. moron* is, well, I just don't know.

It goes on and on...

Other than that...

Apart from both being biologically human and residing on planet earth (even if only sometimes in W's case), what do they have in common?

but i love budowsky
