Newly released recordings of Tucker Carlson the third set made public in as many days feature the prominent Fox News host joking about having sex with a teenage beauty pageant contestant. In the tapes, Carlson also makes a series of sexist, misogynist and cruel remarks about the young woman, who was a contestant in a 2007 Miss Teen USA competition.
Shes so dumb, Carlson said on the recording, an old interview on the Bubba the Love Sponge Show, uncovered by the nonprofit watchdog Media Matters for America and first published by NowThis News. Shes like, shes vulnerable. Shes like a wounded gazelle, separated from the herd.
Carlson then speculated without evidence that the pageants host, actor Mario Lopez, had sex with the woman, who Carlson believed was underage at the time.
Well she was 17, the radio shows host said. Couldnt that be a problem legally if Mario f---ed it?

(146,320 posts)It seems to me that it is going to. He's making the news with it. I'd like to see him fired and have to be out looking for work. He'll probably have to pick another profession, though. Maybe he could go to trade school and learn a trade like being a plumber or electrician. Out of the public eye.

(2,331 posts)I remember when O'reilley went down it started with a short "vacation" and it got extended. Fox has no morals so it isn't about what the network thinks about what he said, it is what advertisers think. Same with O'reilley. After it became evident that it would be more profitable to remove the host and have someone with a "clean" record to sell to advertisers Oreilley was shown the door. Same will happen with Carlson but I doubt he had as lucrative of a deal in place to buy him out when that circumstance occurs.
