Lauren Witzke, the Delaware GOP's candidate for Senate in 2020, has nothing but praise for Putin and "his Christian nationalist nation": "I identify more with Putin's Christian values than I do with Joe Biden."

Staring At Hard Times, Tucker Carlson May Be Forced To Sell Bow Tie Collection
June 15, 2020

…. But after moving over to Fox News in 2009, Mr. Carlson decided to ditch the bow tie in favor of the more traditional necktie. Many observers speculated that the preppy appearance engendered by wearing the bow tie made him look like one of those snooty elites he rails against each night on his show. ....

…Carlson’s collection of 450 classic, many one-of-a-kind, bow ties has been estimated to be worth $1.5 million by Christies auction house.

1. No Hard Times Ever For Mr. White Man Priviledge

“According to Tucker Swanson McNear Carlson’s own Wikipedia page, the Fox host knows a thing or two about privilege himself. Carlson’s father is Richard Carlson, former director of the Voice of America and president of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting who also served as a U.S. ambassador. His stepmother is an heiress to the Swanson frozen-food fortune”

Plus he’s worth 30 mil and is reportedly paid 6 mil a year

2. Yea, I don't pretend to be the repository of all knowledge, and puzzled over Daily Kos's headline

Plus that, besides that I usually *do* attempt to provide tons of context for my posts, it's not always feasible or pertinent to include all of my content, and a case in point is the below, which I included in my email ring:

******** So who is Tucker CARLSON – another one of those Legacy kids, the ones born on First, Second, or Third base, in his case Second Base. He used to wear a bow tie and was called the Bow Tie Boy but quit wearing them when he went to Faux. He’s been at CNN, MSNBC, and Faux, been said to have “failed upward.” Oh, and he has a brother named “Buckley” as in wingnut William BUCKLEY.

He almost had a genteel good humor in his early days, but on Faux has found that wingnut hate speech pays better, currently doing the Drumpf thing of siding with PUTEEN. And wow, his retired collection of bow ties is worth over a mil-yone bucks.

But his heritage is his genes: His father Richard has a grounding in propaganda, having been appointed by RAYGUN to head the Voice of America, and Richard CARLSON (“Carlson” is his adopted name) used his propaganda skills well, having been the source for DRUDGE of the LEWISNSKY story.

Fun fact: In BowTie’s MSNBC show, the producer was one Willie GEIST, himself a Legacy kid, but who has stayed clean, sticking with MSNBC/NBC and proves that decency pays, now a co-host of “Morning SCHMO” and on NBC’s Today.

7. I Wondered About "Richard CARLSON ("Carlson" is his adopted name)"

“Carlson was born the son of college student Richard Boynton and Dorothy Anderson, 18 and 15 years old, respectively.[3] He was born with rickets and mildly bent legs, as Anderson had starved herself to keep the pregnancy a secret. In 1943, Richard Boynton attempted to persuade Dorothy to accompany him in stealing their baby and get married; when she refused on the grounds that she was a junior in high school and nobody but her parents knew about the baby, he shot and killed himself two blocks from her house.[4]

Six weeks after he was born, Carlson was given to The Home for Little Wanderers, an orphanage in Boston. The home ran a classified ad about him in the local papers, under the headline: "Home Wanted for Foundling." Florence Moberger, a housewife in Malden, was the only person to respond.

Florence Moberger and her husband Carl had three children but were unable to have more.[5] Carl and Florence agreed to foster Carlson until a family wanted to adopt him. Carlson lived with the Mobergers for over two years and stated that he developed a deep bond with the family. During that time, Carlson claimed many rospective parents came to visit him, including his birth mother, Anderson, posing as her own sister.[4] “

Frankly I'm not surprised about the Geist connection. I watched a MJ segment where Geist stood outside Zabars (famous NY store) and made fun of the liberals that shopped there. Have never liked him since.

8. Well, GEIST has been playing it fairly down the middle - "fairly" as in "on an average"

I stopped watching Morning SCHMO in 2012, but back then and in the recent snippets, I've never heard him spout wingnut stuff, has kept to the Legacy genteel mode, and he's double dipping into the mainstream Today mode.

Glad that we're not at loggerheads!
