MDE FROM ARCHIVES: TUCKER CARLSON SAID FRANKEN “TREATS HIS STAFF BADLY”
By Michael B. Brodkorb | February 27, 2007
"Q: What did you think of Fox News Channel's suing Al Franken because of the title of his book?
A [Tucker Carlson]: They abetted his book sales. My problem with Al Franken is not even political. I'm friends with people who know him. It's that he treats his staff so badly. We had him on as guest host last night, and he wasn't very nice." Source: Hartford Courant, September 15, 2003

Typical liberal – only willing to be nice to people when it is with others’ money.
Sean – you are still an ugly idiot.

Tucker is just mad at Al since Al helped prove the case that Tucker has a habit of lying about events he hasn’t even seen:
**
In his role as co-host of CNN’s Crossfire, Carlson continued his habit of misrepresenting events to criticize how people respond to family deaths. After the memorial service commemorating those who died in the fatal plane crash that killed Senator Paul Wellstone, his wife, their daughter, and five others, Carlson stated, on October 30, 2002:
The political world is still reeling tonight from yesterday’s nauseating display in Minnesota, where a memorial service for the late Senator Paul Wellstone was hijacked by partisan zealots and turned into a political rally. Republican friends of Senator Wellstone were booed and shouted down as they tried to speak.
In fact, no Republicans were “shouted down as they tried to speak.” Carlson also said of the memorial service, “It is revolting” and “It makes me sick.”
Apparently, Carlson was revolted and sickened by something he hadn’t even seen. As Carlson admitted to Al Franken (as reported in Franken’s book Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them: A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right), he hadn’t yet watched the memorial service he described in such outraged terms, even as he repeatedly and incorrectly referred to it as a funeral.

Good old Tucker, now that is a lying liar and I guess above is one of his many lies.
