*ucker is getting the same time slot as TDS, I see a quick death coming


Jon Stewart vs. Tucker Carlson: The rematch.

Beginning Aug. 8 at 11 p.m., MSNBC's "The Situation With Tucker Carlson" will go mano a mano with Comedy Central's "The Daily Show," hosted by Stewart, who last fall called Carlson a rude term for a portion of the male anatomy.

Their on-air spat began when Stewart took advantage of an appearance on CNN's now-disbanded "Crossfire" to scold Carlson and co-host Paul Begala.

"You're doing theater, when you should be doing debate. . . . What you do is not honest. What you do is partisan hackery," Stewart lectured.

When Carlson told Stewart, "I do think you're more fun on your show," Stewart responded: "You know what's interesting, though? You're as big a on your show as you are on any show.">>>>>snip

When he first came on MSRNC I tried to start a series of threads.

Called them "Countdown to Cancellation." Didn't get much response, so I ended it after a week. I predicted 3 months (tops) for his show. I guess I was close.

2. You got to think the MSNBC "knows" what it's doing.

I hope TDS rubs a little salt into bowtie boy's gaping bloody viewer's wound.

I just want to hear a little tongue in cheek comment from Jon,
just one,
please?

7. If MSRNC knew what it was doing

It wouldn't have hired that (M)Ann Coulter wannabe in the first place.

Not that it will help....
