CARLSON: Canada has little pictures of us in its bedroom, right? Canada spends all of its time thinking about the United States, obsessing over the United States. It‘s unrequited love between Canada and the United States.
We, meanwhile, don‘t even know Canada‘s name. We pay no attention at all.
KELLERMAN: Well...
CARLSON: Canada thinks we‘re married; we don‘t know it exists. Every time we tell Canada to knock it off, it just feeds the fire.
KELLERMAN: Well, yes. I very much like your “Canada, the adults are talking” stance. I—I like that.
(LAUGHTER)
KELLERMAN: However, we really do have to enage them on this. And this is—this is the devil‘s-advocate position, but I may actually believe this.
CARLSON: All right.
KELLERMAN: They make us look bad internationally. And it‘s really not fair. We have the—the longest, friendliest border, you know, for the—for the longest time in the history—in recorded history, really, with Canada. And they get to sit on their moral perch, you know, take the moral high ground, say, oh, United States, shame on you about Iraq.
They—they had—they must take no—virtually no responsibility, certainly in terms of their military, around the world. We have to do all the heavy lifting. And then to have them, our—one of our really strongest allies, when you think about it, internationally...
CARLSON: Oh.
KELLERMAN: ... to the north, constantly criticizing us and making us look bad internationally, it needs to be addressed.
CARLSON: First of all, anybody with any ambition at all, or intelligence, has left Canada and is now living in New York.
Second, anybody who sides with Canada internationally in a debate between the U.S. and Canada, say, Belgium, is somebody whose opinion we shouldn‘t care about in the first place.
Third, Canada is a sweet country. It is like your retarded cousin you see at Thanksgiving and sort of pat him on the head. You know, he‘s nice, but you don‘t take him seriously. That is Canada.
KELLERMAN: No, you don‘t. You don‘t. But what if the rest of the family does? In other words, yes, the United States can rely on...
CARLSON: That‘s their problem.
KELLERMAN: ... England, Australia, Israel, a few staunch, important allies internationally. But we have lost a lot of international support.
And Canada, by others in the global family, is, for some reason, taken seriously. They have about 30 million people. They have some natural resources.
CARLSON: Oh. They have dogsleds and trees, and that‘s it.
KELLERMAN: And comedians.
CARLSON: Look, I like Canada.
KELLERMAN: Tucker, they have comedians.
CARLSON: Every single comedian in Canada is now living in the United States.
KELLERMAN: Well, that‘s true.
CARLSON: Every one of them. They sneak over the border and live among us unseen. It‘s actually kind of scary.

"That hostility is probably shared by a lot of people in the administration."
The silence is deafening.

Gee, No one has ever threatened to do that before....
Yet it is still on.
I guess you don't have the grapes.
Tucker Carlson isn’t even on Fox, (I don’t think) Yeah he mocks Canada, so does “Red Green.” You have people who make their living on the back of anti Americanism… Including most of your politicians.
I loved this part:
"They make us look bad internationally. And it‘s really not fair....And they get to sit on their moral perch, you know, take the moral high ground, say, oh, United States, shame on you about Iraq."
That's quite laughable. Canada or any other country for that matter could not "make" the US look bad. The US is judged worldwide on IT'S actions not Canada's opinion of it's actions. It's silly to suggest that Canada is a: "sweet country.......You know, he‘s nice, but you don‘t take him seriously", and in the same interview suggest that contrary to not being taken seriously, Canada weilds enough real power to dictate world opinion on the actions of the US, and whine all junior high about it being "not fair".
I guess they are of the opinion that the rest of the world is also insignificant and retarded much like Canada since only Americans know and state how retarded we are and yet we can still "hoodwink" the world community in to believing that US actions are bad.
The whole piece is not so much an insult to Canada as it insult to the reputation of the people of the US. With Carleson and Kellerman at bat, Canada Could not hope to mastermind a way to make the US look worse that these two. Beauty eh?
And dog sledding...Come on, I lived here all my life and NEVER seen anyone dog sled.
Man, this guy pisses me off...Why do they still keep him on TV.
Americans don't like it when you climb up onto their pulpit and point out their faults (unlike guilty Canadians who constantly appologize for our own). Granted, the Canadian media can often be pretty anti-American, but it usually uses issues and examples to argue its point. Newspaper editorials are one thing, but our major news programs don't use these childish schoolyard tactics that have become a trademark of the Fox network. This is why Tucker and Fox are a match made in Heaven.
p.s. Tucker. The bow tie is not fooling anyone into believing your misinformed low-brow comments have any merit.
Does this indicate that the Canadian Communist retards unfairly subsidize their dogsled teams too! The Iditarod must be part of any new trade agreement
Loosen the bowtie and let some of the air out of your head, perhaps allow some blood flow to the calcified walnut you rely on to help your body transform food into feces. Clearly, it's not being used control anything else.
From a nation founded on an ideal of free speech, Carlson and other like-minded urinalists (this is, after all, semantic pissing and not journalism) like Ann Coulter take every opportunity to deride and complain whenever we in the great white north take time from our dog-sled and ice-fishing duties to notice the idiocy that passes for political dialog (I'll use the American spelling to prevent confusion in case ol' Tuck gets someone to read this to him) in the reality vacuum that is the USA.
The truth, Tucker and friends, is that we don't much care what you're up to down there. You don't require us as a nation to make you look bad internationally; George is doing a fine job of that and most of the time, we can't even see the strings that Cheney is holding to make him dance.
If the opinion of Canadians is one which the US shouldn't either care about or take seriously, then why comment at all? Slow news day perhaps? Or was it a case of your inability to pull your head far enough out of your ass to look anywhere but north?
Trust me, we don't seek the moral high ground. We simply look at you in stupefied wonder. It's true shock-and-awe up here...just what will you do next?
Yes, Tucker, the Ice Backs are coming. We infiltrate your border on a daily basis, hoping to temper your psuedo-intellectual rhetoric with common sense and compassion. That's why we let you keep Peter Jenkins, a man whose journalistic integrity and balanced view you might consider emulating from time to time.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have some pot to legalize.
