Tucker Carlson has had shows on PBS, CNN and MSNBC.  All were so successful that not a single one is currently on the air. And how can we forget his stint on ABC's Dancing With The Stars?

Perhaps that is why he’s attempting a one-sided feud Keith Olbermann. He just couldn’t stomach the fact that someone could make a show work on his former network home.

The more likely scenario is that he’s looking for controversy to draw eyeballs to his next failed endeavor -- The Daily Caller, his factually challenged, misinformation pushing website.

Huffington Post notes:

Tucker Carlson started a feud with Keith Olbermann last month when he purchased KeithOlbermann.com and went on record dissing his former MSNBC colleague.

Now he denies the very existence of a feud, though in doing so again laid into Olbermann, who he previously described as the most disliked person at MSNBC.

"I feel sorry for Keith," Carlson told Mediabistro. "What a sad old guy he is, a prisoner of his many phobias. I'm not feuding with him at all, as I tried to explain when I emailed him the other day from my new account, Keith [at] keitholbermann.com. He never responded. I hope he's okay."

By the way, TuckerCarlsonsNextFailedEndeavor.com is still available.  Maybe I’ll register the url so Tucker has a way to contact me.

      And I thought cyber squatting was illegal.

      How much more infantile can he get? I'm actually embarrassed for him.

        Well, if you read his site, and see who he employs, you'd see how much more infantile the site as a whole can get.

        Tucker's main blogger, a guy named Sean who, for some reason, goes by the name Jim Treacher, is really bad. He's the guy who assumed, based upon bad info, that a State Dept SUV, possibly carrying Hillary Clinton, hit him on purpose, and then left the scene of the accident.

        Of course, it wasn't a State Dept SUV, it wasn't carrying anyone important, it hit him because he was crossing outside of the crosswalk, and the driver of the SUV was among the first people to reach Treacher. He didn't leave the scene, and provided all the necessary info to the cops.

        Treacher still won't acknowledge his role in the event, and when asked about the jaywalking ticket he got, he clams up and won't say a thing besides that he'll tell people when it's all over.

        But he LOVES showing off the bad scar he has on his knee/leg from the bad injury he got when he was hit by the car. He's not shy about trolling for sympathy - he'll use his injury for attention, but he won't cop to the responsibility he held for his errors in crossing the street.

        Everything about the site should be embarrassing to anyone associated with it.

      So Carlson purchases Keith's internet namesake, utilizes an e-mail account using the name of Keith at the same domain... and he refers to KEITH as the SAD ONE???

        Ouch. I actually winced when I read your post.

        And like George Carlin said: "F--k Tucker. Tucker sucks."

      NOTE: tried to post once. didn't seem to take so excuse me if this turns out to be a multiple. Anyway, starting a fight with Olbermann is almost as stupid as going after Rachel. She'll squash you with much pleasure (such as O'Reilly and Rubio, much to my delight). And neither of them strikes me as unhappy, in fact just the opposite, as I would be in their position.

      Tucker should just go back to wearing his bow-tie, again. He was getting a lot more attention back then, whether bad or good, but at least some attention, which he clearly starves for these days. C'mon, tuckie... bring it back just for good old time sake.

      I checked into the website. It's pretty pathetic. What was the point of the really gross S.E. Cupp/Snooki thing? Boobs lactating sweat? I don't even think Michael Musto would be that crass. Tucker, I didn't know or care who you were until Jon Stewart pwned you, and like Stewart, I'm grateful never to be a dinner guest. What network are you working on now, anyway?
