Somebody's A Wee Bit Defensive

Tucker:

Last night on MSNBC Live, during a discussion about Sen. Larry Craig's (R-ID) arrest for "lewd conduct" and eventual guilty plea, MSNBC's Tucker Carlson described his assault on a man who he said "bothered" him in a Washington, D.C., public restroom.

Carlson asserted, "Having sex in a public men's room is outrageous. It's also really common. I've been bothered in men's rooms." When host Dan 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. ... And then the cops came and arrested him." Carlson had claimed earlier in the discussion, "I've been bothered in Georgetown Park," in Washington, D.C., "when I was in high school."

Apparently, Carlson wants it to be known that he's definitely not gay. And who's to argue with this example of prime heterosexual beef?

UPDATE: Tucker now denies he engaged in any fag-bashing.
