I know you know this, but really, Tucker Carlson is an awful human being

MSNBC's Carlson on Obama: "He seems like kind of a wuss"

On the July 2 edition of MSNBC's Tucker, host Tucker Carlson said of presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL): "He seems like kind of a wuss." Carlson made this comment after claiming that in the race for the Democratic presidential nomination, "Someone's going to give the middle finger to the man," adding: "And the man in this case is a chick!" -- referring to Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-NY).

Ok, putting aside for the moment his use of the word "chick." I'm not adverse to the term, though even I know one does not usually use it in reference to a United States Senator. I don't think It's always intended to be offensive, though he certainly means it that way.

You know how I know? I say again: Awful human being. But put that aside.

Being called a wuss by Tucker Carlson.

• That's like being called gay by the Tony Awards.
• It's like being called an antisemite gay basher by William Donohue.
• It's like David Letterman making fun of the gap in your teeth.
• It's like being called a sugared, fruit-flavored, non-carbonated soft drink by Tang.
• It's like being accused of making bad pop music by Britney.
• It's like...(join me, won't you? It's fun!)
