From your post, it's almost like you think they can <i>never ever accept blame</i> for anything!

Where in the world did you formulate such an odd notion?

No idea. I googled but all I seem to get is photos of someone's dingus with a bowtie on it.

"Pucker" Carlson?

At FOX, we believe in the highest standards of fairness, balance and journalistic traditions.

Such as "I'm rubber, you're glue! The outrage bounces off me and sticks to you!"

And in summation "Neener neener, poopypants"

This is politics, Tucker. Did you think we were playing dress-up like anachronistic-hipster-fucksticks?

<b>Facts matter. </b>

Mitt squalked so loudly like an unlubricated robot in order to press home his GREAT GOTCHA MOMENT, which promptly fell over when confronted with one simple thing: facts.

Your man tripped over the facts in his mad flailing eyebrow-raising rush to score some incoherent bingo point. Much to the audience's delight.

Candy Crowley didn't drop that inconvenient fact in his path; HISTORY DID.

Suck it up, cryboy.

Debate rule agreed to by Romney:

<blockquote>5 (e): "The candidates may not ask each other direct questions during any of the four debates.</blockquote> Romney grilled Obama about his pension, drilling permits, Libya. I don't recall Obama asking Romney anything.

(Romney also doesn't follow the rules of arithmetic. "Of course it adds up!")

Where is the outrage Fox?

Best thing ever said to Tucker Carlson (said by Jon Stewart): I'm not going to be your monkey.

<i>Candy Crowley, you’re the absolute worst.</i>

The funny part about this is most of the time she IS the worst. Most of her shows are usually spent fluffing the latest wingnut talking points.

Maybe she's bucking for a cameo appearance on the second season of "Newsroom".

Festering pustule Lou Dobbs asks if "you have any way to excuse the commission using that format..." Uh, Lou, "the commission"<i> is</i> the candidates. They both agreed.

Were there Mexicans on the commission? Maybe that's the root of the problem. Maybe Candy Crowley is a secret Mexican.

He used to be on a CNN debate show called "Crossfire". The premise of the show was people arguing from left/right perspectives. One day they had Jon Stewart "in the crossfire". Stewart took Carlson and the other show host to task for "hurting America" with the divisive rhetoric built into the show's structure. Carlson was flabbergasted. His snappy retort (in a pleading tone): "You're supposed to be funny."

So, No, Tucker Carlson does not debate in public anymore.
