Tucker Carlson: Done with MSNBC…
Today Tucker Carlson did an online chat with Ana Marie Cox on the Washington Post’s website and the subject of MSNBC came up…(via J$)
Chicago, Illinois: Hey Tucker, Last week, on the Dennis Miller Show, you said it was your last week at MSNBC. Sad
Where is your next destination? Print? I actually remember Hitchens saying you should return to print a while back. But print is dying almost as fast as the financial sector. Headline News? Radio? Sabbatical?
Tucker Carlson: I’m actually typing this from a lounge chair outside my villa at Amanyara in the Turks and Caicos, if that gives you some idea. If I’d known how great life could be after cable news, I would have stormed off the Crossfire set six years ago and not come back.
Speaking of, I’ve got a hot stone massage at 3. Time to fire up the golf cart. Thanks for a good time. See you next week.

Bye Tucker! Hope to never, ever see you again.

Bye Tucker! It was nice to listen to a conservative with an open mind, instead of just reciting talking points.

I have always been so glad that Tucker is heir to a huge
frozen food fortune and doesn’t have to hit a lick – ever- if he doesn’t want to.
Have a great life, Tucker! I will always search for your writings where ever I can.
Tucker and Anderson – the greatest of trust fund babies!

Agreed, lyons. I like them both as well, and am glad to see Tucker’s “recovering” well from his MSNBC and CNN runs.
But I hope to see him again. He may be a good writer, but his personality is wasted in the print media.

missy & Joe: Last week I thought Tucker did a good job subbing for Dennis Miller.
If the marketplace wasn’t so overcrowded, his best future could be talk radio.

TTC, I didn’t realize he had sat in for Miller, but it’s good to know that maybe we’ll see or hear from him at some point!
He’s got so much personality, and it would be a shame to just keep him involved as a writer. He argues and puts his points across so well that I believe even liberals like him at times! And he’s not afraid to go against conservatives, when he thinks they’re wrong, either.
He truly thinks for himself.

I’m not quite a liberal [center-left] but, yes, I like him. As I mentioned once before, he’s a truly decent guy. When Willie Geist would go after “the tabloid girls” [Spears, Lohan, et al] during the “In Other News” segment, Tucker would often refuse to pile because he felt they were genuinely troubled young women. Many people forget that celebrities are real people and I appreciated that Tucker cared about that.
