| Tucker Carlson
American society changed this week, and almost no one noticed. Republicans in Congress decided to drop a bill that would have kept women off the battlefields of Iraq and Afghanistan. As a print journalist, you can be frustrated by people who don't call you back, parts of the story you can't get. TV gets you access to everyone because people call you back. It also allows you to satisfy your curiosity. I am a very curious person. At a time when the Boy Scouts are being hounded in the worst way by state and local governments around the country over the gay issue... that could have been a campaign issue. Avoid boring, conventional people like death is what we are going to do. I'd rather have someone with a facial twitch with something interesting to say than the prettiest former federal prosecutor in all of Los Angeles. Bush is not a social conservative. How long can you broadcast on radio? Is there a mandatory retirement age? Can you go on forever? I am not insecure about being a journalist. I can't wait to work for Rick Kaplan. He's a great producer. I would host an infomercial if he would produce it. I don't think I'm there to balance out anybody-I'm there to do a good show. People don't want to hear me preach. I have a low opinion of the things Jon said, but I'd like to give him a chance to explain it in an environment where he can talk. I have no way of knowing how people really feel, but the vast majority of those I meet couldn't be nicer. Every once in a while someone barks at me. My New Year's resolution is not to bark back. I will, in fact, eat my shoes, because I'm a man of my word. If you are going to commit a felony don't do it in August. In the absence of evidence, superstition. It's a Middle Ages thing. That's my theory anyway. No one settles in for a long career in TV! It is just the nature of business-no one is indispensable. There is no one who can't be replaced. The Clinton era is over. I think that there would even have been a certain amount of rejoicing among some Republicans if Gore had won or if Ralph Nader had won or if Satan had won. The two things I was positive about in life were that I was going to be a teacher at a boarding school or an operative with the CIA posted abroad. I could write a book about all the things I was sure about. There's no way to spin it: Allowing women to get shot to death, or blown up, or mutilated and disfigured in war-particularly in a voluntary war-is horrible. It's unnecessary. It's barbaric. To be a feminist, you could cut your hair really short. You have to be really angry about something. To politicize a man's tragic death is about as low as you can go, isn't it? Unless you know a lot more about something than I do, I am not really that interested. I have too much information already. You will admit that at least 40 percent of any vote in a Democratic race is humorless feminists. |
