YEAH, I WAS SOOO FAR OFF [Tim Graham]- NRO So Tucker Carlson has a new show coming out on PBS called "Tucker Carlson: Unfiltered." When the AP called MRC for comment last fall at the show's first publicity drop, I mildly and diplomatically suggested Tucker was not exactly the top conservative choice for a weekly PBS gig. Minutes after the wire story hit, Tucker was on the phone yelling at me about how dare I suggest he was insufficiently conservative, blah blah blah. Now Tucker has announced to the New York Observer that he's decided that the war on Iraq is a "total nightmare and disaster." (In full: "'I think it’s a total nightmare and disaster, and I’m ashamed that I went against my own instincts in supporting it,' he said. 'It’s something I’ll never do again. Never. I got convinced by a friend of mine who’s smarter than I am, and I shouldn’t have done that. No. I want things to work out, but I’m enraged by it, actually.'") Oh, but that shouldn't be seen as acting insufficiently conservative to fit in at PBS, blah blah blah. Are Kate O'Beirne and Jonah Goldberg the only pro-war conservative regulars left on CNN? PS: Please giggle at last fall's article on Tucker and PBS, where he says he's been assured he won't have to go changing to fit the PBS mold.
