MSNBC has cancelled Tucker Carlson’s show, Tucker.
It’s about time. Tucker is everything I hate in TV punditry– ill informed, smarmy and mule-headed. He’s not as bad as Sean Hannity (or even worse, Joe Scarborough) but as Monica says, he’s a poo tissue. I can deal with a Reaganite (barely), but not when they’re [...]
