Two Newscasters from opposite ends of the political spectrum. These two facing off with firey debates on issues of the day. I can even even vision the commercial to launch the show: The two walk up to each other, like gunslingers ready to draw, and they glare at each other Don’t expect them to agree with nor affirm _anything._ ---

And to sign off every every show: After an hour of bickering incessantly, never coming within a mile of agreement on any damn thing whatsoever, one of them looks to the other (alternates each episode) and says… “Women, amirite?” Big collegial laugh, fade out. ---

The only logical name would be Jane, you ignorant slut! (before I get banned, no misogyny is intended. For those too young to remember, this is a reference to a repeating SNL skit, back in the 70s. It was based on a 60 Minutes piece that ran at the time with the same name. Here is one of several) [Link to YouTube of SNL skit from 1970s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c91XUyg9iWM) For Lemon/Tucker, they could even take turns on who was Jane. ---

Lemon-Tucker: Slap Fight. Because the only way I’d watch is if they ended every show in an actual slap fight. I’m pretty sure Lemon could win just about every time. ---

You are always welcome in Russia and in Moscow.” " – _Vladimir Solovyov, Russian propagandist_ Unique among potential US presidential candidates, Tucker is also eminently qualified to be president of Russia, hampered only by the fact that the position is already occupied and the present occupant wishes it to remain so. In fact, Tucker’s popularity over there can be a double-edged sword, and if Tucker does visit Russia he would be well advised to stay away from open windows. ---
