Rely on Mike...

It is not that Mike Barnicle is a radio talk show demagogue; it is just that he is so laughably bad at it.
He simply cannot hold together the paltry logic of his rabble rousing for more than three minutes without making a complete and utter jackass of himself.
Take today’s show for example; Mike takes time out to blast Dick Cheney’s assertion that electing Kerry means more terrorist attacks on the USA.
Fine so far...
Mike then segues into bemoaning the alleged rhetorical extremism of “both sides”
Okay…and yes he was very very clear about both parties being guilty of spreading hysteria.
He then refers to the Democratic Vice Presidential nominee as “Girly Man Edwards”-TWICE!
This of course was naught but the usual snarky set up to playing that worthy statesman’s response to Cheney’s bitter effusion.
You see how they do it over on FM 96.9?
Severin, Ingraham, Hannity, and all the other tyrant talkers are free to wallow in their election year liberal hatred…but somehow Mike Barnicle has to be calm measured and thoughtful…neutral to a fault as long as in the end the democrats end up holding the short end of the stick!
Jim Braude is guilty of this same brand of quisling “liberalism” except that he is good at it whilst dumb-ass Mike can’t get the hang of it to save his life.
The result is radio that for sheer morbid hilarity compares favorably with the imperial high noon of Fred Allen.
I’m listening now every day to hear what moronic thing Mike Barnicle will utter next...there seems to be end to the nonsense he can spout!
There are times in the car when I am compelled to shut off the radio, pull over by the side of the road, and laugh hysterically for five full minutes because Mike has said something so patently idiotic or fraudulent.
In that he is completely reliable…just when I think I’ll have to shut the Little Blog That Cried down for lack of material…in charges Mike Barnicle, Ambassador from Caucasiastan, clad in his emblematic white sleeveless tee-shirt bellowing rubbish and wallowing in rank stupidity.
He is inspiring quite frankly….
