Tonight I'll pour a tall one, in fact I may pour two

To celebrate that Tucker Carlson finally got his due
But, Murdoch is the serpent's head and he's still slitherin' round
And he still has his megaphone to amplify the sound
Of eager MAGA bobbleheads and some old-fashioned yes-men
Who play with all our lives like we were just so many chess men

If we don't defang Rupert and all his scaly clan
We may lose our democracy; that's always been their plan.
So, pause tonight and celebrate that Tuck has lost his show.
But, tomorrow get back in the fight; a lot more need to go!

I don't normally care for rhyming, but yours is spot on and so is the sentiment!

Well done!

Not until his days earning money by spewing lies are definitely over.

No other media outlet hires him.

No book deals.

His attempts to garner attention are ignored.

Cardiologist says if he hears of me drinking alcohol he'll kick my ass.

It was hard for a Navy Chief to be on the receiving end of one way communication but I greatly appreciated his taking care of me.

Once upon a time I was an Aviation Storekeeper. 1965 - 69. Ended my four years as AK2.

The Navy just wouldn't run without CPO's.

Loved our SKs and AKs. You all were “resourceful” and that’s a glowing complement. Had two tours with Aviation squadrons. Wore black shoes and brown shoes. I’m very proud of my time in the canoe club.

I’ll hoist a cold one to your good health shipmate. I’m guessing that Doctor Loves You.

Do I need to check it for ai 😹

So I have heard they’re just going to replace him with someone else, maybe someone even worse. And TC will just start his own radio show or get hired somewhere else and keep spewing the hate.
