After Carlson’s 2004 interview with Jon Stewart on CNN’s Crossfire, Stewart actually called Carlson a “d*ck” and asked him to “stop hurting America.… You’re doing theater when you should be doing debate.”
When Carlson spoke to GQ recently, he spoke about that debate. “He’s a talented guy. But I think he’s a deeply unhappy guy. I learned something deep and valuable, which is, you’re not graded on the merits, you’re graded on who’s more popular.”
