TAMMY AND TUCKER HAVE AT IT

by Bob Walsh

Tucker Carlson is a talking head on Fox News.  He is a little drove at times.  Usually in fact.  Tammy Duckworth is a Democratic senator from Illinois and is being considered to be Senile Joe's running mate.  She is a veteran and lost both legs when the helicopter she was piloting took an RPG hit in Iraq in 2004.  She has some been there-done that time.  She did 23 years and retired as a Lt. Colonel.

On his show on Monday Tucker asked her flat out about her statements the previous weekend on CNN.  He was more than a little puzzled-aggravated by her statement that "we should listen to the argument" made by people who want to remove George Washington from the public record.  Tucker asserted flat out that she hates the United States.

He tried to pin her down on her statement and asked if she was in favor of removing Washington from the public record.  She tap-danced impressively for someone with artificial legs.  Like a good politician she refused to answer the question.  In a Tweet later she suggested that Tucker might want to walk a mile in her legs before he comes after her.  She still refused to actually answer the question.

She deserves some dignity and respect for her record.  That, however, should NOT insulate her from being asked political questions since she has voluntarily chosen to enter the political arena.  Benedict Arnold had an outstanding record of service before he became a traitor.  John McCain had an outstanding record until he became a senile elderly curmudgeon.  The past is no guarantee of the future.
