Well, this was a semi-event because as Neal has has his previous experiences with Randi Rhodes and other liberal mic-hogs, he refuses to engage in the major shoutfests, so he keeps quiet and lets them open mouth and insert foot. Neal has been doing talk radio for 36 years, so he’s not playing games.
This is a segment Tucker calls “3 on 3,” which is kind of misleading when you conside the participants. Neal is outnumbered, because Tucker is not a true Conservative in my opinion, and Neal is a Libertarian who hates left-wing nutjobs. Jerry Springer and Jennie Backus are both dem party operatives, so we know their side. So, this wasn’t 3 on 3… this was almost 4 on 1, but Neal held his own.
By the way, am I the only one who thinks Backus probably uses the same eyelift plastic surgeon that Nancy Pelosi does? Prop up the upper and lower lids with stents no thicker than toothpicks, but make sure the eyes are always wide open. Folks, that is just creepy. Almost as creepy as Laura Schwartz’ right-titled full-tooth grin with no lips.
And not to disappoint, even though Neal is being passive/aggressive, Springer just can’t help himself.
Can you believe this guy? And yes, I mean Springer. Why is he even in the spotlight anymore? I thought his 15 minutes of fame were over LOOOONG ago about the time Gloria Gaynor’s “I Will Survive” was on the disco top 10. It’s time for him to go away. I will, however, make this observation. This Backus character and some of he other leftwing whackos that appear on Tucker and other MSNBC shows are ones that you rarely RARELY ever see on other cable show to ‘opine.” Gee, after this, I wonder why. A vast bank of braintrusts they are not.
…probably about the same time he received his latest Nielson ratings report from the bosses over at the Peacock.
Unbelievable. I was bored today, so I watched other stuff besides my normal fare. Is it any wonder people like Tucker Carlson have to have their MSNBC show run two times in a single day’s primetime (4PM EST, 6PM EST)? If you can believe this, today Tucker was questioning the Utah Attorney General, Mark Shurtleff, about why polygamist and pedophile, Warren Jeffs, was on the FBI’s 10 Most Wanted list! Shurtleff repeatedly reminds Tucker that Jeffs has felony charge warrants against him, but Tucker wants to know why the FBI is taking up alleged valuable space on the 10 Most Wanted list with a harmless, clean-cut polygamist like Jeffs.
Warren Steed Jeffs, 50, was arrested without incident just outside Las Vegas late Monday after more than a year on the run, the FBI said. No weapons were found, but the 2007 red Cadillac Escalade he was riding in was filled with items including three wigs, 15 cell phones and tens of thousands of dollars in cash and gift cards, authorities said.
Jeffs has led the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints since 2002 and is said to have at least 40 wives and nearly 60 children. Church dissidents say that underage marriages — some involving girls as young as 13 — escalated into the hundreds under his leadership, and that he broke apart families by casting out married men and reassigning their women and children to others.
Arizona Attorney General Terry Goddard told KTAR-AM of Phoenix that Jeffs’ arrest marks “the beginning of the end of … the tyrannical rule of a small group of people over the practically 10,000 followers of the FLDS sect.” He predicted it will lead more people to come forward with allegations of sexual abuse.
And I hope the judge who presides over his bail hearing reads this part:
Items inside the vehicle included $54,000 (euro 42,160) in cash, gift cards totaling $10,000 (euro7,800), the cell phones and wigs, four laptop computers, a GPS device, a police scanner, and numerous unopened envelopes that were thought to contain more cash, Lewis said.
Jeffs was being held Tuesday in Clark County jail, awaiting a court hearing on a federal charge of unlawful flight to avoid prosecution.
The two people traveling with him, wife Naomi Jeffs and a brother, Isaac Steed Jeffs, both 32, were released and will not be charged, FBI agent Steven Martinez said.
Jeffs is wanted in Utah and Arizona on charges of arranging two marriages between underage girls and older men. The charges include two counts of rape as an accomplice in Utah, with each count punishable by up to life in prison.
He had been on the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted list since May, with a $100,000 (euro 78,000) reward offered for information leading to his capture.
People this is one of the things that is wrong with America. Men arranging marriages between 13-year-old girls and adult men? Having children just so you can give them to someone when they get “old enough?” This man is a very evil man, and for the life of me, I cannot figure out why Tucker believes he has the criminal justice acumen to even judge whether or not he should be on the 10 Most Wanted List, much less try to infer the FBI had put Jeffs in the same moral equivalence status as Usama bin Laden. Like I said; unbelievable.
Tucker keeps saying he’s a Conservative, but it’s segments like this that make me a) wonder how he can claim that, and b) puzzle over where he gets his definition of morals, or the basics of what’s right or wrong. Shurtleff finally winds up saying out of exasperation “Of all the people that have been interested in this, you are the ONLY one who thinks that, you know, who questions law enforcement in doing what they are (sic).”
Like Shurtleff, I’d like to know where Tucker gets the temerity to pontificate judiciously on Jeffs’ history. I’d also like to know where Tucker got his Juris Doctorate. I have a money order ready and waiting to be mailed immediatledly for mine!
Serioualy though, folks, I’m not joking. I would transcribe this, but it’s just too insane to believe what Tucker says. A brief quote from his MSNBC site:
Aug. 30: To hear the government tell it, the capture of Warren Jeffs is a major victory. Jeffs was on the FBI’s “Ten Most Wanted” list, along with Osama bin Laden, and Whitey Bulger, who’s charged with eighteen counts of murder. Tucker asks Utah’s attorney general if the country is safer.
Like the Utah Atty. General says, ask Jeffs’ victims if they think he was “dangerous” or not. It will be interesting to see what they find on those laptops they took into evidence from the traffic stop. Perv!
I know this is not my forte’, but when I saw this guy coming out of the crashed car, I thought HOLY COW! (no pun intended) This is ONE HUGE GUY! No wonder it took so many of them to take him down.
