On the August 28 edition of MSBNC Live, hosted by MSNBC general manager Dan Abrams, Tucker Carlson, host of MSNBC's Tucker, asserted, "Having sex in a public men's room is outrageous. It's also really common. I've been bothered in men's rooms." Carlson continued, "I've been bothered in Georgetown Park," in Washington, D.C., "when I was in high school." When Abrams asked how Carlson responded to being "bothered," Carlson asserted, "I went back with someone I knew and grabbed the guy by the -- you know, and grabbed him, and ... hit him against the stall with his head, actually."

I think it says a lot more about Tucker than about Sen. Craig.

Honestly, if Tucker thinks all those guys were "hitting" on him, he's got serious issues. If guys are looking at me in a bathroom, I wouldn't know, since I'm not looking at them.

I only wish the guy who Tucker beat up would go to the cops today and identify this clown as his assailant...

One time Tucker and Rove both propositioned me in a mens room in DC and even though I am gay, the thought of those 2 men naked repulsed me to the point of spewing! Sorry Tuck...youre just too weak even for a gay guy!

Tucker, can you show me on Mr. Fluffy where the bad man touched you? Was it in the swimsuit area?

Tucker is lying, this pansy fuck has never been in a fight let alone hit a person.

I saw this segment and don't believe for a moment Tucker's claim of grabbing a friend and going back for a confrontation.

Once his giggling co-commentators started to crack jokes, he was backpeddaling double time to makeup an outcome that saved his rep. I could see him judging their reaction and adjusting his story. His effort to be part of the story backfired.

Funny how in the name of truth we risk turning this into a witch hunt. I think Tucker overspoke (which is what people do when they are nervous), and put his ... er... foot in his mouth. But it makes me uncomfortable how people are so "bent" on exposing him.

I suspect that he boinked the guys head on the porcelin toilet as he was trying to grab hold of his ears. Yeah, that's the ticket...

I hate to say it Tucker, but, people who grab guys by their--you know's--in public bathrooms are probably gay.

oh tucker? guess what! men who beat up other men because they think they came on to them are angry at their own homosexual yearnings. I mean, come on buddy - I think the lady doth protest too much! When you are secure in your own sexuality, you don't CARE about it - you say no thanks, I don't swing that way, and move on.

Joe Scarborough, a Republican Congressman from Florida (up until his resignation on Sept. 6) also had a bit of bad luck with staffers checking out…however, his staffer, aide Lori Klausutis, checked out permanently. She was found dead in Scarborough's office on July 20, 2001.
