O[N] talk TV during the last election, it sometimes seemed as though Alan Alda were running for office. Chris Matthews rasped about the Democratic primaries, “What’s this? An Alan Alda contest where you have to prove you’re the sensitive male?” Crossfire’s Tucker Carlson was particularly obsessed, characterizing Kerry supporters as “Barbra Streisand’s friends, Chardonnay sippers, NPR listeners, you know, people who, you know, like Alan Alda.” After the Dean scream in January 2004, Carlson described the party’s response as, “Out with Che Guevara, in with Alan Alda”—then he directly warned John Kerry: “Don’t be Alan Alda.”
