Quick - Nonniey/Chico - somebody explain to me again why Tucker Carlson is defending Russia. Goodness of his heart? Is he on the Russian payroll? Just asking questions here. Help me reach the real conclusion.

He's part of the Putin wing of the Republican party, which really do exist, although a small minority (go to Free Republic they have a lot them posting there - not all but possibly a majority of their posters).

Awesome, thanks for the brief but sufficient explanation nonniey.

Here, let me write up Chico's response for him.

To which I would say: Judging by his lengthy list of tweets since then, it seems Bernie is solidly on the "Vlad=bad" bandwagon, but if in the event Bernie and Tucker have made some sort of quid-pro-quo to do whatever they can to help Russia behind the scenes, then I will disavow Bernie as well. However I don't see the necessary follow-up evidence making that clear-cut.
