I heard him say that too..I think Severin was like "huh?!". Hell, I remember the Fox News Watch panel two weeks ago discussing the sting operation surrounding this case (the news side of it) and I thought it was open and shut. The Mayor deserves all the scrutiny he gets, he's a freaking public official. I don't always agree with Carlson, to be clear.
My prediction (and my hope): Tucker's show is off the air within two years.<.i>
I'll be honest with you -- I don't think it will make it to Labor Day. I am actually enjoying it though.. I hate that everyone feels the need to pile on him. Like last fall, I thought Jon Stewart made an ass of himself.
Most of my friends thought Stewart's antics were funny but I found them rather unflattering. The whole time I was thinking -- "where's the jokes"?
I expect Carlson's show to at least make it through next year's mid-term elections, but I think it'll eventually bite the dust like so many other msNBC primetime shows have in the past because of lack of ratings.
I was kind of in your position for the last year or so with Dennis Miller's show on CNBC. I tried to watch it anytime I had the chance because I really like Miller's sense of humor. But it was only a matter of time before the plug got pulled on that show, again because of low ratings.
