Conservatives Who Dance
There is something supremely funny about this.There are some T.V. personalities you just like to watch and for some reason I've always thought Tucker Carlson was a good one. He's a better writer - but writing doesn't pay as well. Well, lo and behold Tucker is going to be on Dancing with the Stars. On the blog related to his show on MSNBC, Tucker's producer Willie Geist said this,
I've had some pretty awful dance partners in my life, but no amount of experience could have prepared me for the unspeakable horror I witnessed when I stepped onto the dance floor with Tucker Carlson. Tucker is a legitimately great man and a good friend, but when he dances, he’s not only an embarrassment to himself and his family, but a living, breathing affront to rhythm and movement in space. I’m not saying I’m Fred Astaire, but Tucker dances like he’s just been tasered after leading police on a high-speed chase.

That’s why, on the surface at least, his decision to enter a nationally-televised dance competition might be a confusing one. Privately, Tucker confesses he agreed to do “Dancing With The Stars” mainly for the once-in-a-lifetime chance to wear a turquoise, ruffled, satin blouse and heeled Capezio jazz shoes in front of millions of people. Do you want to be the one to tell him he can’t pursue his boyhood dream? I sure don’t. - Willie Geist
I apologize for never being this funny. I'll work on it.
