The Left-Cheek Ass Clown for March, 2019


Yes, Dear Readers, it's that time again ... time for us to pull on our shoulder-length rubber gloves and reach deep into the swirling cesspool of stupidity to pull forth the latest example of stupendously award-worthy ass clownery. And because it's my duty, I've done that on your behalf, and so I am prepared now to announce

The Left-Cheek Ass Clown for March, 2019


and the award, in a tremendous landslide, goes to

Tucker Carlson


One of the most popular and outspoken of the shouting heads on Fox News, Tucker Carlson has made a name for himself with his extreme conservative commentary and insult-laced tirades against Democrats, liberals, socialists, and just about everyone to the left of Genghis Khan. But recordings recently released by the progressive group Media Matters for America provide dozens of instances of crude, racist, and misogynistic comments made by Carlson on a shock radio show* between 2006 and 2011. Examples include:

Describing Iraq in 2006 as "... a crappy place filled with a bunch of, you know, semiliterate primitive monkeys...", and as "... a culture where people just don't use toilet paper or forks";

Speaking of Afghanistan, he said that “It’s [Afghanistan's] never going to be a civilized country because the people aren’t civilized.”; and,

Speaking of race, he said, "... everybody is so intimidated by, you know, the Democratic Party and those whackies in the media on this race and gender nonsense. The country's so f****d up on the subject that getting a white man, I mean everyone's embarrassed to be a white man I guess, that's a bad thing."

Speaking of women, he commented, "... If you’re talking to a feminist and she’s given you, 'Well, men really need to be more sensitive,' no, actually, men don’t need to be more sensitive. You just need to be quiet and kind of do what you’re told."

And he also minimized the actions of cult leader Warren Jeffs, wanted by the authorities for his involvement in arranging illegal marriages between adults and underage girls. Carlson described him simply as a man with "a different lifestyle that people find creepy."

It goes without saying that Carlson has refused to acknowledge, accept responsibility, or apologize for those remarks, saying he "... will never bow to the mob. Ever. No matter what." What else do you expect when the role model is Donald Trump?

Ladies and Gentlemen, Dear Readers, Tucker Carlson - a man who could almost make Donald Trump look like a well-spoken statesman - is named our Left-Cheek Ass Clown for March, 2019.

Have a good day. More thoughts tomorrow, when we lighten things a bit for Cartoon Saturday.
