Eat shoes you conservative
I read this in the 'in the news' section of the chronicle, so i did a lil research on this.
this is an expert from crossfire, and watch watch what carlson says
Quote:
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.
But next, we're going to debate a more serious topic, whether the Bush administration may have spun the intelligence of whether Iraq had weapons of mass destruction. Stay with us.
