"Tucker Carlson on why he doesn't like Karen Hughes" Salon

[buycitgo]

and other stuff, from an interview, ca. last September, made relevant again by the nauseating re-emergence of the Uberbutch Bush Marionette

SALON: What about your profile of George W. Bush in Talk in 1999? That had to be the most damaging profile of him yet written -- swearing like a truck driver, making fun of Karla Faye Tucker's death penalty appeals, mimicking her saying, "Don't kill me!" -- because of its high profile, and because of your access to him. Did that bring you flak from conservatives?

..........

TC: It {{response from pugs}} was very, very hostile. The reaction was: You betrayed us. Well, I was never there as a partisan to begin with.

Then I heard that Karen Hughes accused me of lying. And so I called Karen and asked her why she was saying this, and she had this almost Orwellian rap that she laid on me about how things she'd heard -- that I watched her hear -- she in fact had never heard, and she'd never heard Bush use profanity ever. It was insane.

I've obviously been lied to a lot by campaign operatives, but the striking thing about the way she lied was she knew I knew she was lying, and she did it anyway. There is no word in English that captures that. It almost crosses over from bravado into mental illness.

They get carried away, consultants do, in the heat of the campaign, they're really invested in this. A lot of times they really like the candidate. That's all conventional. But on some level, you think, there's a hint of recognition that there is reality -- even if they don't recognize reality exists -- there is an objective truth. With Karen you didn't get that sense at all. A lot of people like her. A lot of people I know like her. I'm not one of them.

and what's the point of this?

I watched the first half of MTP today, and after becoming completely convinced by those two feckless buffoons from the 911 commission that it will soon be renamed the Neo-Warren commission, I didn't have the stomach for Hughes' appearance

that said, I wonder how she was treated by fatpigboy, especially since she's trying to claim that her bookshill appearances have nothing to do with politics

right, you insane, lying POS. WHO ON EARTH would be interested in ONE word you have to say, if you weren't one of the two chief organ grinders for the monkey squatter befouling our house?

did anybody see that train wreck? I haven't found one mention of it here today
