Al Franken is co-hosting "Crossfire" this week, and since I like watching C-level political commentators, I've been tuning in. I don't normally watch shoutfest shows like this, but Al is pretty funny, which makes it more tolerable to watch. Anyway, what I'm mostly fascinated by at this point is first how often Tucker Carlson cuts off the "lefty" speakers, and second, how many times the lefty guys have to deal with him twisting their words or just plain making stuff up. Yesterday he was even making snarky comments about Al getting "twitchy," which seemed particularly sophomoric.
Anyway, the whole thing is about as enlightening as the Daily Show's "Even Stephen" segment, except that I'm not left with the giggles afterward.
