Is Barnicle known for his love of the sauce? I don’t know but one gets that impression when he talks.
Barnicle is known for his love of himself and other writers’ material which he plagiarizes freely. He is also in love with his wife’s fat job in the financial world which keeps him afloat as he drifts from one pseudo-news commentary gig to another. He is also a major league suckup and apologist for Ted Kennedy and Billy Bulger.
