Product Description
Political pundit Tucker Carlson cracks sharp and wise on all things Wash- ington with the acerbic wit and razor-sharp insight that have made him a beloved conservative commentator. Proclaimed by NewYork magazine as the pundit most likely to succeed in these Bushian years, Tucker Carlson anchors the right side of CNN's Crossfire aisle. An unabashed beltway insider whose profile is unmatched, Carlson stands ready to pounce on anyone and everyone who dares enter the political fray. Now, he applies his deft and amusing perspective to the goings-on in our nation's capital. Whether it's the towel-snapping prowess of the President or the dumbfounding exploits of his predecessor, there is no sacred ground. A wild and informative ride behind the scenes of a cable newsman, Carlson's debut covers his beat with equal parts hilarity and insight in a jocular review that both exposes and defends the absurdity that underlies the world of politics.

 Politicians Partisans and Parasites, 2008-08-17
I am a conservative and I just didnt like this book very much. The best part was the dirt on James Carvile, that was funny. Over all this was just a boring book.

 Just Awful, 2007-11-11
You can buy this book for a penny here on Amazon, which is far more than it's worth. Still, if you need to pick up a stocking stuffer for someone you really detest.....

 Funny, smart & easy to read, 2007-02-25
Tucker Carlsons genuine, affable nature comes to roost in this short, easy to read book. He tells a few funny stories & gives an inside peek into the cable news industry. For the price & time it takes to read, you can't go wrong

Mindless Palaver, 2004-10-19
I wanted to like Tucker Carlson's book. He has the opportunity to show the interesting side of politics. The truth is, the writing is horrible. I wouldn't waste the money on this book new. I'm sure there will be plenty of used available soon.

Cutie!, 2004-06-22
I always knew that Tucker Carlson's dad was a major player in the right wing media/think tank world. So it's easy to see how Tucky's connections helped him. He's such a cutie! I'd love to pinch his ice cream cheeks! (I wonder if Arianna did!) And I'll bet he wouldn't have a comeback to *that*! What I *did not* know, is that Tucker comes from authorial royalty, if you will. His parents penned the classic: Don't Sweat the Small Stuff in Love: by Richard Carlson and Kristine Carlson. Obviously, Tucker hasn't fallen too far from the tree, as he doesn't sweat the small stuff in politics! The beauty of Tucky is that he doesn't question the status quo, or any quo at all. He knows that politics is for fun and profit, to be joked about in the DC/media echo chamber. And now we get a front row seat! Luckily, Tucky lets us in on the fun (not the big joke, that we don't get paid for *our* relative nonsense), that policy - or the personalities and sound bites that "front" real policy - shouldn't be taken seriously. Don't sweat the small stuff! In other words, if you've got enough bread, enjoy the circus! "My Adventures" is non-threatening, fluffy, and self-preserving, as cotton candy (light blue or pink, whatever!)! Tucky stays true to the current political era, where the son rides pop's coattails, but isn't so darn serious! Kudos!
