Tucker Carlson just can’t get a break. First Rita Cosby bumps him into seclusion with an 11pm time slot, now he’s getting attacked from Mother Nature ally Greenpeace.

The nature-loving non-profit filed a formal complaint with the FCC after Carlson twice offered on-air support of the French attacks on Greenpeace’s Rainbow Warrior, which was cruising through in 1985 to promote the org’s anti-nuclear stance. French gents thawrted their plans by planting two mines that blew open the ship’s hull as it headed to France’s nuclear test site at Mururoa Atoll in the South Pacific.

Obviously, Carlson loved it.

There’s little the FCC could actually do to Tucker or MSNBC, however, but his comments are sure to draw ire from the higher ups. Then again, it certainly beats MSNBC prez Rick Kaplan reaming you out in front of your crew.
