It's probably safe to say Tucker Carlson isn't a big Michael Vick fan.

In fact, the Fox News commentator, who substituted last night for the vacationing Sean Hannity, thinks the resurgent Philadelphia Eagles quarterback should have been "executed" for his dogfighting crimes.

When a Carlson-led panel discussion turned to President Barack Obama's recent phone call with Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie, in which Obama commended Lurie for giving Vick a second chance in the NFL, Carlson decided to make his feelings on the matter clear.

"I'm a Christian, I've made mistakes myself, I believe fervently in second chances," Carlson said. "But Michael Vick killed dogs, and he did in a heartless and cruel way. And I think, personally, he should've been executed for that. He wasn't, but the idea that the president of the United States would be getting behind someone who murdered dogs? Kind of beyond the pale."
