WATCH: Why Doesn't Carlson Call For Palin's Execution, Uygur Asks

Execution is political, Cenk Uygur posited last night.

Sitting in as host of 'The Ed Show' on MSNBC, Uygur addressed conservative pundit Tucker Carlson's statement that Philadelphia Eagles Michael Vick should have been executed for running a dog fighting ring -- instead of the 18 months in prison that he served.

"And if you're executing people because they killed defenseless animals, you might want to remember this," Uygur said, before showing the clip of Palin shooting the caribou.

"I know there's a difference, but is it really that large?" he continued. "Sarah Palin is folksy for killing a caribou who is clearly trapped and defenseless if you watch that show, and Michael Vick should be executed?
