(on Tucker Carlson and his show): You may have heard that I went onto a TV show on CNN called "Crossfire" (1982), which I suppose is a debate show named after the stray bullets that strike and kill innocent bystanders during a gang fight. I said some pretty nasty things, most notably that their show was destroying America, and that he was a dick. He replied to me by saying, "You`re not being funny." I then said, "I know that, but on Monday I will go back to being funny, and your show will still blow."
