I'm guessing that Mike Barnicle is making shit up again
I'm talking about MSNBC talking head, Mike Barnicle, who has been fired from two jobs for making shit up.

He's rhapsodizing about Senator Kennedy talking about how he "saw" his brothers out in the surf, when he would go boating. Goofy shit, and, I'm guessing, totally fabricated.

Sweet Jesus, I hate Mike Barnicle.

Bless Senator Kennedy. I mourn his passing.

1. Barnicle lives up to his name
He attaches himself to bigger things and chews the life out of them.

Why do they keep rehiring Barnicle, anyway?

I thought plagiarism was supposed to END your career if you were a journalist.

5. he's so "scuzzy"
I don't think that's a real word, but it seems to fit. "Scuzzy."

3. He got fired from the Boston Globe for plagiarism

and has been a right-wing Republicon propaganda hack without honor ever since...

Some people learn from their mistakes. Barnicle just got skankier and skankier.

6. agreed
I'm not sure why people would "unrec" for stating the truth.

Barnicle is the lowest of the low. He sells his soul to whoever will buy.
