TRANSCRIPT FROM TUCKER CARLSON SHOW:

Adding to the sexism, elitism, faith, and threat cards in the White House arsenal, comes the "far right" card.

I'm posting the entire transcript of the Blakeman interview below. Go to the parts in bold to see the "far right" business. CARLSON: ...today one of the many questions regarding Harriet Miers has been answered, in part, anyway, in a questionnaire Miers filled out while running for the Dallas city council in 1989. She clearly indicated, or seemed to, that she's opposed to abortion, unless the mother's life was in danger.

Some conservatives are not satisfied with that, but one who appears to be, joins us now from Washington. He is Brad Blakeman. He's a former deputy assistant to President Bush. He shared an office with Harriet Miers for three years.

Mr. Blakeman, thanks for coming on. [SNIP]

CARLSON: That's totally not true. You know that that's not true.

I've noticed that "far right" is now spit out with the same hatred as is normal for the DU.

On the right, the "far right" is anyone who bids seven to your six.

On the left, those who bid fifty to your five are . . .

Progressives.

You made the point that it is wrong to criticize a commander-in-chief when there are troops fighting abroad.

No, I did not. Your analytical skills were apparently not developed in either your service or any other employment.

Those who are betraying us do not simply criticize President Bush.
