Tucker Carlson gets a blogger fired
Posted on January 9, 2007 5:24 PM
A video store employee ran afoul of the formerly bow-tied pundit in DC, and a little poorly advised asshattery ended up getting him fired after Ex BowTie apparently complained to his bosses after this exchange allegedly took place...
Tucker: If you keep this shit up, I will fucking destroy you.The blogger known as Chuckles later claimed that exchange and this blog post witticism led to his firing from the aforementioned video store...
The Genius (Me): Whoah, perhaps you would like to take this outside where you can continue threatening me without disturbing the other customers.
Tucker: Looks out the window, then back at me I am not threatening you.
The Genius: You just said you would fucking destroy me.
Tucker: No, I didn’t.
Tucker Carlson opened an account last night at my video store. I thought the name seemed familiar but I couldn't figure out why. It was after he left that I realized he was on the list of Gigantic Cobagz. I could tell you what he and his ridiculously wasped-out female companion (wife?) rented if you really want to know. I won't tell you where he lives, though. That would be wrong and stupid. I will also not be running around ordering 10,000 copies of America: The Book and having it sent to his place even if that would be more awesome than frozen urine treats for his home.Wonkette blogged about this too, but their exchanges with Ex BowTie have been limited to accusations and denials of eating breakfast at McDonald's.
He's probably still traumatized from getting stomped by Jon Stewart and kicked off CNN...wait, that didn't happen, he actually resigned from CNN several months before The Daily Show Man came along and crushed him like a bug.
I'll go back to wondering why they still call it Wonkette when it's been a couple of Wonkdudes doing the posting ever since Ana Marie Cox jumped ship. Weird.

Cache is powerful in the media and Wonkette sounds better than Wonkdude or Wonker.
Tucker is probably pissed because no one likes the bowtie and he was trying to bring it back, like bellbottoms.

Hey Chuckles, maybe Tucker thinks bloomers and swimming costumes will come back into vogue too. He'll be all about the well-clothed beachgoer :)
