Unclear on the Concept
By Tucker should know that he’s not going to win this one. . .
“I thought that he looked ridiculous,” Carlson said in an interview Monday, “and I think the tape makes that clear.”
Carlson said Stewart continued lecturing the “Crossfire” crew after the show went off the air. “I wasn’t offended as much as I was unimpressed,” he said.
Carlson noted that many of the great comedians kept their political opinions to themselves, not for fear of offending anyone, but because it could hurt their art.
“You’re selling out,” he said. “If you are a satirist or an acute social observer, and he is, and all of a sudden you suspend disbelief on someone or suck up rather than prod or poke someone, people will look at you and say, `Even if I agree with you, I don’t like it,”’ he said.
Tucker just fundamentally can’t seem to understand that HE is the target of Jon Stewart’s comedy, not the politicians. Also, he doesn’t seem to realize that comparing Crossfire to the Daily Show can never be a winning proposition, even if Crossfire were better.
