BARNICLE SCRAPED

MSNBC GOP- Basher Faces Radio Cutback







On the same day sleazy Boston talk host Mike Barnicle was fantasizing with Don Imus about hanging Republicans on MSNBC, his low- rated local radio show was being chopped in half!

As a part of lineup changes affecting Boston's WTKK- FM, the notoriously sloppy and unethical plagiarist will see his show moved to earlier in the morning and shrunk to just a single hour, according to the Boston Herald.

In talk radio, such a cut is equal to being sent to Siberia. It's also a sign that Barnicle probably won't be sticking around beyond the end of his current contract. Here at the Radio Equalizer, we'll shed no tears upon his exit.

Imus, Barnicle Fantasize About Republicans on Gallows: Cheney Would 'Wet His Pants'

Posted by Mark Finkelstein


Does it get any more foul than this? During the 8 AM ET hour of Don Imus's show this morning he and Mike Barnicle fantasized about how various Republicans would react to being hung on the gallows.


Imus: "I was – I tried to imagine how various members of the current administration would behave were they subjected to the gallows as Saddam Hussein was. Um, and I can see Rumsfeld –"

Barnicle: “He wouldn't take it. No blindfold for Rumsfeld.”

Imus: "That's what I was thinking, you know. ‘F-you.' You know, you go to the gallows with the noose you want, not the noose you– or the noose you have, not the noose you want–"

Barnicle: "That's exactly right."

Imus: "Or Whatever. But Cheney–"

Barnicle: "Just as that trap door opens, he'd drop an f-bomb to all of them."

Imus: "How about Cheney?"

Barnicle: “I don't think Cheney would make it up the steps.”

Imus: "Now this is a guy who would, this is a guy – he'd wet his pants and he'd whine and start crying."

Barnicle: "Well He would order as a last meal 400 pounds of bacon."
