And Then I Egged His Car And Ran Away Snicker Snicker Snort
Mark Morford 10/2/03

Conservative CNN commentator and weird itchy little rash on the ass of human consciousness Tucker Carlson's snide humor backfired on him --and his wife.

While defending telemarketers during a segment on "Crossfire" last week, the obnoxious bow-tied co-host no one reading this actually watches or knows anything about or should even care about in the slightest because he's a snide little twerp, was asked for his home phone number, gosh isn't that clever. Carlson gave out a number, but it was for the Washington bureau of Fox News, CNN's bitter rival. The bureau was deluged with calls.

To get back at him, Fox posted Carlson's unlisted home number on its Web site. After his wife was inundated with obscene calls, Carlson went to the Fox News bureau to complain. He was told the number would be taken off the Web site if he apologized on the air. He did, but that didn't end the anger.

In an interview with The Washington Post, Carlson called Fox News "a mean, sick group of people." Fox spokeswoman Irena Briganti said Carlson got what he deserved.

"CNN threw the first punch here. Correcting this mistake was good journalism," after which all parties involved were repeatedly and enthusiastically bitch-slapped by the universe for being puling little simpering jackass media whoreslug nothingblobs, as the Gods of Fate and Time just laughed at Carlson and Fox's embarrassing use of the term "journalism" to represent much of anything they do.

This story reminded me of a similar-but-different incident that happened in Western Pensylvania in the early '50's.

A young, idealistic, wet behind the ears civics teacher told his class on Tuesday that if they had trouble finding the answers to their current events homework, they could call the newspaper for information.

My father was the newspaper editor. After the fourth or fifth call from a student hoping for short cuts, he instructed the switchboard operator to refer the callers to another number--that of the Superintendent of Schools.

The Superintendent was quite annoyed--some students were calling as late as 3 a.m.

On Wednesday, the civics teacher has a crash course in community relations.

Noddy, really funny story and so relevant to the topic.

I laughed my head off when I heard what happened between Tucker and Fox, my least favorite person and network. They deserve each other.

BBB--

I had a few qualms about the home telephone number for the Oklahoma judge being posted on the Internet, but when rogues fall out the carnage is delightful.

P.S.

When the Guiness Book of Records there was great jubliation among the journalists of the Western World.

Now the bar patrons could consult a book instead of calling the newspaper for Official Word.
