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."

Ah yes, Mr Bowtie-tough guy of the oh so masculine bowtie. Did you notice how Joey Scarberry there just HAD to drag the Monica thing into this-?? the only Remote connection there, Scarborough-is that Craig the Hypocrite was dragging Clinton thru the mud and voting to impeach him over this, while at the same time doing his level best George "Feel me up while I Go Go" Michaels routine in the john. YAY GOP!! This is a RIOT. Loving it. Quick-Joe, Tucker-race to tell us AGAIN how you're NOT GAY NOT GAY NOT GAY! it sounds like...who am I thinking of? Oh yah...LARRY CRAIG! YES!

A laff-a-minit, these here talking heads on 24 hour cable news. Yessir.

Supposed "gay bashing"
On MSNBC Live, on 28 August 2007, Carlson told host Dan Abrams that as a teenager, he and a friend beat up a gay man who reportedly made a pass at Carlson in a public restroom in Georgetown Park in Washington, D.C.. As Carlson explained, "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. ... And then the cops came and arrested him." He further stated, "I am not gay. I have never been gay. I overreacted and made a poor decision."[26]
Carlson clarified the incident in a statement to Media Matters, which had reported on the exchange, writing:
In the mid-1980s, while I was a high school student, a man physically grabbed me in a men's room in Washington, DC. I yelled, pulled away from him and ran out of the room. Twenty-five minutes later, a friend of mine and I returned to the men's room. The man was still there, presumably waiting to do to someone else what he had done to me. My friend and I seized the man and held him until a security guard arrived. Several bloggers have characterized this is a sort of gay bashing. That's absurd, and an insult to anybody who has fought back against an unsolicited sexual attack. I wasn't angry with the man because he was gay. I was angry because he assaulted me.

from Media matters

Now Tucker has changed his story, first police arrived and arrested the bathroom assailant, in the written version they held the man and gave him over to a security guard.
It should be easy to find out if there were park security guards in Georgetown Parks.

That's the funniest thing I've ever read:

"Now I'm not gay..."
"No. I'm not gay either."

I thought it was a parody.

We can further limit our search parameters to holiday weeks and summer vacations of 1984 to 1987 otherwise Tucker presumebly was at his prep school in Rhode Island.

Here's some biography on tucker found on wikipedia

May 16, 1969 (age 38)
Carlson attended St. George's School, a boarding school in Middletown, Rhode Island. After graduation, he majored in history at the private liberal arts Trinity College in Hartford, Connecticut, but did not receive a degree.

Add 15 to 18 years to 1969 to find Tucker's High School years
1984 to 1987
Now if the Washington Blade would check that information against any arrests made in a Georgetown Park Restroom which had tucker Carlson listed as the victim of lewd behavior, it should be easy to prove TRUE of FALSE

Andrew Sullivan called BULLSH*T towards Tucker's t-room bust story.

Tucker think we can't quickly research any bust in a Georgetown bathroom with a man you accused and bashed his head, in your High School years?

You better be able to back it up Tuck, or you'll look like a G*D DAMN lying little priss.

I think I'll market a t-shirt with Tucker's face and the caption

PERV PATROL

Then I'll never have to worry about those lurking men inappropriately leering at me, when I make pee pee.

Tucker is such a butch, rough tough cream puff of a stud muffin & I'm the Queen of the May too. Can somebody who's AC/DC explain things to Tucker?
Tucker ought to try stand up if he wants to appear on network or national cable any more. Maybe he can get on a faith based net.

Jeez I never use 'park' bathrooms not only is their risk of this stuff goin on they are so filthy, I always try to find a hospital or nice office building-their restrooms are SO much cleaner, well stocked with supplies and usually lightly used, often I'm the only one there.
Anyone who goes to those 'other' spots, seems to me that are goin there for anything other than doing their bio functions of relieving their waste products, one only need to read this post about Tucker, The Idaho congressman,
George Michael etc.

Carlson's answer has to be the funniest damn thing I read in years.

First, that Carlson would be approached by a gay guy - is this a surprise to anyone? The only way Carlson could look and act more effeminate is if he was in a dress and high heels. Of course gays hit on him in parks, in high school and in men's rooms as he admits. Look at him.

Second, Carlson - the manly man - is such a pussy he has to go get someone else to protect him from getting his ass kicked by some gay. "I went back with someone I knew and grabbed the guy...."

Tucker - Did you smack him with your purse, you silly savage?

Tucker is in the model of other "suspect" Republican'ts like Lindsay "LightLoafers" Graham, Ralph "Powerbottom" Reed and Rick Santorum (who's surname has been colloquialized into a gay sexual noun") the latter of which has massive amounts of offspring to continually affirm their dubious masculinity, overburdening our fragile planet in the process.
