Fox Replaces O'Reilly With a Guy Who Thinks It's Funny to Joke About Ejaculating on a Woman in Work Email

[hst2 180,271]

"Who then, has it decided to replace O'Reilly with in the crucial 8 p.m. timeslot? Why, Tucker Carlson—who, in 2015, responded to the revelation that a writer at his Daily Caller site had written him an email that speculated about whether a female professional contact had ever been ejaculated on by refusing to apologize and joking that the email had been meant "in the nicest way." (Funny!)

 

The story of the email was broken by BuzzFeed's Rosie Gray, and you can read it here; the gist is that the writer—who happened to be Tucker Carlson's brother Buckley—accidentally copied New York mayoral spokeswoman Amy Spitalnick, with whom the Caller had been having a dispute, on an email to Tucker Carlson. The email included this passage:

 

'Whiny little self-righteous *****. "Appalling?" And with such an ironic name, too… Spitalnick? Ironic because you just know she has extreme ****-fright; no chance has this girl ever had a pearl necklace. Spoogeneck? I don't think so. More like LabiaFace.'

Well, it IS an improvement over a guy who actually forces himself on women, I suppose.

Tucker is a pig, has always been a pig, will always be a pig.

 

His ascension to BigBadBill's spot is perfect.

Having never even heard of Tucker Carlson before this thread, it is hard for me to comment on him personally. But since the gist here is that he is some sort of a pig because he was on the receiving end of a dirty email, isn't that a bit over the top no matter who we are talking about?

 

Is there anyone on this forum who can honestly say that they have never laughed at a dirty joke? Had he sent that email it would be another issue, but it sounds like the guy received it, and at some point thought it was funny. Good Lord, that would make anyone who ever laughed at a George Carlin monologue (most of which included language a heck of a lot worse than that email) a pig as well. 

 

Geez... I laughed out loud the first time I heard about Trump's "grab them by the _____" comment, because I thought he was so stupid to have said it. That does not mean I would condone such behavior, but the situation was laughable because of his stupidity in being so crude. Does laughing at Trump over that comment make me a pig? I don't think so. My wife laughed too, and said "what an idiot". And no, she was not referring to me.

Fair enough. We all do have our moments when we look at a spouse and see the personification of Mortimer Snerd.

I agree with you on this one.  I didn't know who he was either.   Laughing at an email sent by is brother is hardly condemnation that he is some horrible person even when said email is rather crude.

Tucker Carlson is a tired unoriginal over the hill preppie assembly line republican talking head.  There's not a lot to comment about except maybe that he's the guy wearing a bow tie.  My sympathies to your wife.

[cprenegade 161,680]

I don't know anything about Tucker Carlson and could really care less. But I do think it is funny that he is being criticized for crude emails when many defended the morality of a president who engaged in a crude sex act in the Oval office and then lied about it.  It was "none of our business."

Since I have never seen the guy your description of him might be 100% correct. I have no idea. I just wouldn't label anybody a "pig" just because he laughs about a crude statement from someone else. 

 

Since my wife tends to think more along the lines like me, I doubt she needs your sympathies, except perhaps when I act like an old curmudgeon, and according to ms maggie that can be charming.

Must deflect from any negatives about a republican.    It only took 10 posts before the deflection.

What did nice people like us do in past lives to deserve living in a world like this?

 

I'm guessing burnt down orphanages?

 

I laugh when I think of my grandmothers or even my mother discussing a public figure ejaculating on a woman. Can't picture it.

I wouldn't call Carlson a pig, just highly irrelevant. Your charm shines through and your wife is a saint.

The republicans are trailblazers in many areas. They got a lot of practice in the past 8 years.

LOL.  I do like the way he interviews people.  

 

But honestly, who among us has never once said something offensive?  If you never said anything offensive in Junior High, you are probably retarded.  Men, amongst themselves and women amongst themselves, say things that would be outrageous in a public statement.  

 

So who amongst you saints of propriety who have never uttered or laughed at a dirty joke, think Bill Clinton should be in prison for having an intern under his desk?

'Retarded'. lol, good one!

 

Yeah, he's got jr. high written all over him.

 

You're too modest in your reference to Clinton and an act of consensual sex.

 

How about a president who bragged about sexual assault with a dozen accusers?

 

No surprise that Fox News helped create him.

I do what I can but there are so very many right wingers around here, it's an exhausting job. 

[hst2 180,271]

Why was O'Reilly fired? He has been settling sexual assault claims for years, maybe even decades.

 

He has been replaced by another misogynist.

 

Why was he fired at all?

 

It has nothing to do with his repulsive character.  Viewers LIKE that. At least, it didn't keep them from watching him.

 

It was all about the lost revenue from pressured advertisers.
