Barnicle Mockingly Imagines Tough Question for Rick Perry: What Day Is It?
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Guess when you're as brilliant as Mike Barnicle, it's OK to ridicule others for their supposed lack of smarts.

Today's Morning Joe was teasing an upcoming segment about a tough question that reporter Kasie Hunt had posed to Rick Perry. Mockingly trying to imagine the question, Barnicle offered "she asked him what day it was."

View the video here.

Perry is a liberal, and I won't vote for him in the primary or general election, but he isn't stupid. Long way from stupid.

You know Rick Perry is a potential candidate the libs worry about when they do the ridicule thing against him. I’d assume he’ll be more than ready for debates this time.

Is that Mike “the Fictionalist” Barnicle?

Zero cred, Mike. Zero cred.

LEAN FORWARD? Is that their euphemism for BEND OVER?

Newsbusters is so terribly lame so much of the time.

The formula seems to be to post and rebroadcast the smug, sleazy, at times traitorous statements and accusations from the morons on the left, then follow up with a line like: "(Guess) it's okay to ridicule others for their lack of smarts."

Barnicle is a dolt, a plagiarist, a lazy America-hating fool, and his record is chock-full of lies, idiocies and betrayals.

Our response ought to be exposing and attacking Barnicle and his ilk rather than simply whimpering about how nasty they can be.

Hey Mike, Rick Perry is completing his 14 year tenure as the governor of the 2nd largest state in the US. What’s on your resume, Mike?

I can imagine a tough question for Mike Barnicle: Is your work original or have you copied it from someone else?

As the author of the NewsBusters article, please permit me to respond.

Everyone has his personal style. Some go for the frontal assault. I prefer a lighter touch, and believe that a little bit of humor, which I try to include in most items, makes the message go down more effectively.

You never have a second chance to make a first impression. Rightly or wrongly, Perry cemented his image as a boob in 2012. He’s not going to be able to shake that in 2016

What’s on your resume, Mike?

One thing that isn't on his resume is screwing up in a debate and resorting to "Oops". Perry will neve be able to live that down by 2016.

Your choice is your own.

The left (including the media) is waging constant, daily, ruinous war on us.

You make it sound like you’re serving lemonade to the parasol set on the hill overlooking the battle.

Would love to see these guys who sneer at others’ intelligence pitted against them in a game of Jeopardy.

Permit me to note that you’d get more credibility here by posting your entire article as opposed to a teaser and a link.

Link to video, fine.

You may be right. One thing I do know about Perry, he’s a fighter. Ignore him at your peril. I’m not a fan of Perry, I’m in the Cruz camp.
