Tucker Carlson Loves the Moscow Metro

It's Not the First Time the Great Soviet Subway Has Been Used to Dupe Visiting Chumps

// It's not often I agree with that odious, constipated lickspittle. Last week, ousted Fox talking-mouth Tucker Carlson flew to Moscow, there to interview Vladimir Putin. Carlson smiled and nodded as Putin told him that Poland had started WW2 by not giving Hitler its territory, even when Der Führer asked it so nicely. To fill his time before his Tea-with-a-Tyrant, Carlson got to know Russia by visiting a supermarket (marvelling, in his in-touch-with-the-common-folk people way, that shopping carts took coins for deposit to ensure people would return them). Then he rode the escalators to the Moscow metro, and marvelled at its cleanliness and splendor, taking the time to cast shade on New York's century-plus old subway.
