Barnicle, what't the fucking point? Shit stirring?

[Stinky The Clown]

He is sitting in for Matthews. He shows the video of Obama and Clinton and the picnic table by the kids' swing set. He makes a few more or less nice comments.

THEN .... "What where they saying about each other just one year ago?" After which, he showed clips of same biting campaign comments, each about the other.

What is the fucking point of this crap from the teevee nooz?

Hey Barnicle, you jobless fuck, go investigate something.

1. he's an asshole. i couldn't stand him a couple years ago and i still can't.

where's tweety? i noticed he wasn't on earlier this week--as soon as i saw what the replacement was...CLICK!

2. The first segment was all about bashing Rove. All three pundits joined in.

You would have enjoyed that part. :)

3. Shit-stirring for ratings, apparently. Cable "news" thrives on conflict.

4. See, when he's forbidden to plagiarize,

Barnicle gets all wiggy and useless.

I don't like him. Although, to give him credit, he was smart enough to stay out of it yesterday when O'Donnell gave Crazy Uncle Pat his brand new rectum.

But Barnicle can never be taken seriously. Not by me, anyway..............

5. Heh a lot of DU posts try to stir that same pot of shit.

[Stellabella]

6. Well, his name fits him, if you change the spelling slightly.

Clinging onto the side of something, not useful at all, something to scrape off and discard.

7. A little background on Barnicle

for years, he had a bleeding heart liberal column in the bleeding heart liberal Boston Globe, sob stories that would wrest tears out of Dick Cheney.

All right, maybe not Cheney, but you get the drift.

Eventually, he was caught making some of those stories up and he was fired in disgrace.

His hard turn to the right has happened because the right wing media are the only places where journalistic ethics don't matter, at all.

The man is trying to please his bosses so he can eat.

It's a pity he didn't feel he had a novel in him.

[Stinky The Clown]

9. Yeah, I remember much of that .....

.... which is why I called him a jobless fuck.

As you point out, he's also an ethicsless fuck.

8. Shit-srirring indeed. And maybe a distraction from all the infighting on the right?
