>
> WASHINGTON - Conservative CNN commentator Tucker Carlson's snide humor
> backfired on him.
>
> While defending telemarketers on television last week, Carlson was asked for
> his home phone number. Carlson gave out a number, but it was for Fox News,
> CNN's rival.
>
> The Fox News bureau was deluged with calls.
>
> To get back at him, Fox posted Carlson's home number on their Web site.
>
> Carlson's wife was inundated with calls. Carlson went to Fox News to
> complain. He was told the number would be taken off the Web site if he
> apologized on the air.
>
> Fox spokeswoman Irena Briganti said Carlson got what he deserved. "CNN threw
> the first punch here. Correcting this mistake was good journalism."
>
> Tucker Carlson's correct office telephone number is 202-898-7900.
>
> (Carlson's phone number is on lots of chatlists now. Call him and see if he
> wants to buy something. His staffers are furious.)
