Tucker, Tucker, Sexy Mutha ...

Sources tell TMZ that the rumors are true: MSNBC host Tucker Carlson will be joining the cast of the new season of "Dancing with the Stars."

Carlson, whose usual TV appearances involve politicians dancing around his questions, will now get to do some serious steppin' of his own. The man whose bow tie was famously ridiculed by Jon Stewart (where has that been lately?) will once again get to don ridiculous attire to thrill audiences across the country.

When asked, MSNBC had no comment.

5. I hope he does it. It will humanize him. I like tucker, I think there are things he has no clue about, but he's always open to "learn" i've noticed.

7. I'm a gay liberal man in love with Tucker Carlson. He's so cute. Might he be a Log Cabin Republican?

9. WELCOME TO ABRAMS LAND--- MSNBC THE TINKER TOY NEWS NETWORK!!!!!!! Between sicko Olbermann, Hyperbolic Boy Matthews, human piroggi Cosby, plus more empty headed news bunnies than can be found at Hef's hutch---- now comes bowtie boy, the eternally smirking simp Carlson, whose idea of investigative journalism is to find the nearest saloon--- as he limp-wrists with some has been minor celebrity. VERY APPROPRIATE: a no talent dancing with a no body. MSNBC, where all the news is news to us!!!

10. Oh TMZ.com, what WON'T you do to kill time on a Friday afternoon?

11. That's fine, but they need DAN ABRAMS, former host of The Abrams Report and new president of programming for MSNBC, to be on the dancing show. He is gorgeous, has a sexily subdued attitude, and would draw the female viewers. He was adorable on his show and probably more in shape than Tucker.

12. Outstanding. Have they named the guy he'll be partnered with yet?

13. My namesake has become so mean on his show
that
I will not watch this show. He needs an attitude adjustment
before
I will root for him.
