Why is it that a white guy in a bow tie....

[BiggJawn]

...just screams "ASS-HOLE!!!!!!!" to me?

Is it all because of Tucker the Fucker Carlson?

1. Me too, but he doesn't have to be white.

Only has to NOT be working at a restaurant.

2. Not entirely. George Will is a contribuing factor as well

:)

3. Fashion trumps ethnicity

Bow tie = nitwit

4. Maybe Because

Most of 'em ARE assholes?
Dunno about you, but when I see a fucker in a bow tie...I wanna wind the fucker up like a propeller, and see how far I can wind it up, and will the fucker actually fly about the room when I let go?? :P

to something.

8. When reading "Blinded by the Right", it hit me that a bow-tie

is possibly a RW code for "gay", therefore the RW knows who the "gay" conservatives are. David Brock was encouraged to wear a bowtie.

edited to correct my error - thanks UdoKier!

(I can't figure out why I came up with Matt Brock; usually I get confused and think David Broder! I think Matt Brock wrote for a rasslin mag).

10. His name is DAVID Brock.

And Tucker is happily married with kids. He doesn't exude the gay vibe to me at all. Just the snot-nosed, spoiled punk vibe.

11. Thanks. I stand corrected

and so does my post.

9. Only elderly weathermen should wear little bow ties.

Other than that, yes, they look like a-holes, and on a guy as young as Carlson, it's an obvious and phony affectation.
