Send Tucker Carlson your shoes! Remind him of his VOW... UPDATE: Tucker Carlson is Looking to be called A LIAR and a CHEAT. (see below)

Hillary Clinton's Book Sales Top 1 Million!!!

Time to start BOILING YOUR SHOES CARLSON!

WELL?

CALL - EMAIL - WRITE CNN and DEMAND HE EAT HIS SHOES AND TIE NOW!!

CARLSON: If she sells a million copies of this book, I'll eat my shoes and my tie. I will.

Let's make Carlson responsible for his mouth for once. For both what comes out of it and what GOES INTO IT!

Like his shoes and tie for instance. Here's the transcript of him on CNN's Crossfire show where he was bragging about how Hillary Clinton's new book wouldn't sell a million copies:

"In culinary news, Hillary Rodham Clinton sold an astonishing 200,000 copies of her terrific new book, "Living History," in just its first day of sales. Simon & Schuster, which had ordered a whopping one million books for its first printing, is already reportedly ordering a second printing of more than 300,000.

Why then do I call this culinary news? Here's why. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

CARLSON: If she sells a million copies of this book, I'll eat my shoes and my tie. I will.

BEGALA: And your tie, too?

CARLSON: Yes, and I'll enjoy it. A million copies.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

BEGALA: Tucker, my friend, get ready to be munching on a little shoe leather coming up pretty soon, huh?

CARLSON: Actually, Paul, I will, in fact, eat my shoes, because I'm a man of my word, as you know. But I don't think there's any chance that's going to happen. This is book publishing hype.

They're already ordering 350,000 copies. From the reviews, the review yesterday in "The New York Times," one of the most savage reviews I have ever read of any book published ever in my lifetime, this book is not going to sell a million copies.

I truly don't believe it is. And if it does, it can be verified, I'll eat them, I'll be happy to do that.

BEGALA: No weasel words, if it can be verified. If there's honest reporting in the media...

CARLSON: Well actually if they say a million copies. I don't want to eat wing tips if I don't have to.

BEGALA: Guess what? You're going to be eating those shoes. This is a terrific book.

Everybody in the audience, by the way, who wants to watch Tucker eat his shoes, buy Hillary's book. We're going to let our audience actually vote right now. If you've got your voting devices, tell us whether Tucker Carlson will have to eat his shoes.

Press one for yes, Hillary Clinton will, in fact, sell a million books. Tucker's going to be munching on filet of sole. Or, press two, Republicans, if you find a way to stop the vote count. Perhaps call Chief Justice Rehnquist and spare Tucker a leather lunch. We'll have the results a little later in our program."

Some folks are sending him their old shoes, along with packets of catsup and mustard and other condiments. There is some conjecture as to which address to send these babies to so we are including both.

Personally we have more than one pair of shoes to send so we'll be sending a pair of shoes to EACH address just to be sure he gets them.

And please don't send perfectly good shoes either, take those to the missions for the poor. Only send old shoes that are no good to anyone but Tucker and his Big Right Wing Mouth.

Here are the addresses:

Tucker Carlson
c/o CNN Crossfire
Jack Morton Auditorium
805 21st St., NW
Washington, DC 20052

Or you can send them to the CNN headquarters in DC:

Tucker Carlson
CNN News Political Analyst, Washington Bureau
820 1st St NE,
Washington, DC 20002

Don't forget those condiments!

Hmmm. We wonder what kind of wine goes with Nikes?

DO IT! Make History, let them know we will hold them responsible for their rants!

And while you're at it you can order more books so we can make that MILLION that Carlson is so scared of. Click on the Book to go to Amazon.

UPDATE: Tucker Carlson is Looking to be called A LIAR and a CHEAT.

REMEMBER: He said MY Shoes and MY Tie. NOT Fetish shoes or Doggie Toys. Here's the scoop:

NEW YORK POST GOSSIP LINK

June 23, 2003 -- CNN'S dapper Tucker Carlson is gearing up for the worst meal of his life. Carlson has repeatedly asserted on CNN's "Crossfire" that he'll eat his shoes and tie on-air if Hillary Clinton sells a million copies of her memoir and Simon & Schuster recoups its $8 million advance. Clinton has now sold upwards of 600,000 copies and Carlson is reluctantly getting ready to chow down. "I feel a little sick to my stomach just thinking about it," he told the Washington Post. "I'm going to contest the results and demand recounts, but ultimately I'm going to give in and do the right thing." Carlson says he plans to consult fetish Web sites in search of edible footwear, but draws the line at munching his tie: "There's only so much humiliation one man can take."

Hey Sissy boy, Take Back the Media is not going to let you CHEAT, and that's what you are saying. Be a MAN for once and do what you say. Either do it right or shut the hell up, we will hold you to it.

Like real men are wont to say: "If you can't do the TIME - Don't commit the CRIME."

Put up or SHUT UP Ducker Carlson.

We invite everyone to write to the addresses above and let them know that the Public will NOT let this clown eat a shoe shaped chew toy - it's got to be HIS SHOES JUST LIKE HE SAID, or we want his resignation - there are enough liars on TV (CNN) and this MisAdministration already.

Tucker,

I know there can be little joy in your life at this time. You were unable to control your cocky and insipid remarks regarding the new blockbuster book by Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, “Living History.” Your vow to eat your shoes and tie should the book reach one million in sales has made you not only a laughing stock among those liberals who know you are a rabid Clinton-hater and bad dresser.

A jackass who never has any research in place before a show begins, but a hyperventilating loud mouth, as well. Worse, you are a subject of pity among your conservative associates who must be racking their brains seeking to grease the skids for you to escape your impending culinary catastrophe.

When a liberal associate of mine said Tucker Carlson is simply a joker in the Republican deck of cards who will do anything to get out of a promise made in front of millions of viewers, I defended you.

I said, “Hell no, he’s a great cook and will eat his shoes, AND TIE on live TV to prove it!”

Next we can expect to see you doing the Bush-Dodge, saying that there has to be a recount. Bringing a team of lawyers (but all you right wing hack jobs hate trial lawyers, don’t you?) You will parse what the verb “to eat” means. You will duck and dodge like junior on his best game. You will bring in Ann Coulter, internationally renowned constitutional attorney, to make your case hard. Or hardly make your case.

Finally, though, the clock will run out and you will have to make a decision.

I look forward to the live presentation of Tucker Carlson saying, “I did not have socks with those shoes.”

Bon appetite, buddy.

XXXXXXXXXXXXX,

Houston, Texas
