To be honest, I don't really take issue with his political beliefs-with the possible exception of his genuflection before the omniscient senator from AZ, John McCain-as much as I do his incredibly grating personality.
While he can be amusing at times-in fact, his book: "Politicians, Partisans and Parasites...", was probably one of the more entertaining autobiographies/memoirs written by a cable chat show puppet-more often than not, he's just plain irritating.
He seems to be working under the misconception that simply because he can make a witty quip here and there, it entitles him to assume an air of someone who's a member of the political/cultural aristocracy.
Trust me, Tucker Carlson believes-even though he'll never admit this publicly-that he's on the same plain as a P.J. O'Rourke or Tom Wolfe. When the harsh truth is, he doesn't even begin to approach the level of an R. Emmett Tyrell or an Andrew Ferguson.
That being said, I thought that the way he dissed and dismissed that smirking chimp-Jon Stewart-was awesome.
