[AnnInLa]

Am SO sorry if this has already been discussed, but I just got home from work, and checked www.rawstory.com, where is said Tucker Carlson was interviewed in Esquire, and is not supporting Bush? Is this a true story or what?

1. Not new

As far as I know, he's been threatening to stay home for quite a while now.

3. here's the teaser....

A Conservative's Dilemma
by Tucker Carlson | Sep 01 '04

Six and a half years after I first met him, I still don't know what I think of George W. Bush. Initially, I was won over by him. In interviews, he was relaxed yet unapologetic about his political beliefs. He exuded decency. His political skills were awesome. He had an intuitive understanding of people, coupled with a Ripley's-Believe-It-or-Not ability to recall details about their lives: what schools they'd gone to, the names of their wives and parents and children, how many dogs they had. He was like Clinton—maybe better—and much less weird and needy. The first time I saw Bush ......

4. and more...........

about September 11th and our"brave"commander-in-cheif

... The attacks initially made me sorry I voted for him. For most of that day, as my wife and children stayed inside our house listening to the roar of fighter jets overhead, and black smoke from the Pentagon hovered above our neighborhood, Bush failed to return to Washington. My family sat unprotected a few miles from the scene of a terrorist attack; Bush hid in a bunker on some faraway military base.
It infuriated me, as did the subsequent excuses from White House spokesman. There was a risk in coming back, they said. There was a risk in coming back, they said. Of course there was. That's the point: Leaders must take risks, sometimes physical ones. Bush should have elbowed his Secret Service detail out of the way and returned in a display of fearlessness to his nation's capital. I found it distressingly revealing that he didn't.

10. "Ripley's...ability to recall details..." But he can't recall one person

from his ANG days. Right.

6. Tucker pissed at Bush staff ...

... Carlson wrote an article some time ago that mentioned about how Dubya "Mister Holy Roller" Bush peppers his speech with the F-word. Karen Hughes went around telling everyone Tucker was lying in the article. Tucker was none too pleased with Karen and BushCo.
