Mike Baricle is among the worst: JOHN'S NO. 1 FAN We hate to belabor the Mike Barnicle-is-a-blowhard issue, but what did omnipresent ''Kennedy family friend'' really think of John F. Kennedy Jr.? The ex-Boring Broadsheet big foot described John in a 1997 column as ''a very nice young fellow'' with a ''fine head of hair.'' Not so nasty. But the column, which was about John's now-famous Editor's Letter in George where he called cousins Michael and Joe ''poster boys of bad behavior'' quickly took a turn for the worse. And that's when Mike Barnicle Kennedy let loose and wrote: ''It's more than a distinct possibility that JFK Jr. has the body of Joe Piscopo and the brain of Sonny Bono. Not good.'' Funny, we don't remember Mike telling that to Matt Lauer on ''Today'' or to David Gregory on MSNBC or Chris Black on CNN or CNBC's Chris Jansing or . . . But then further down the column, Barnicle really tossed in the vitriol: ''JFK Jr. comes off sounding like some thin-lipped dim-witted, bad-backed polo player whose empty head can barely retain enough limited cocktail chatter to get him through a dinner with that international moron, Princess Di.'' bostonherald.com

N.H. authorities flush 4 billions gallons of water down the toilet so the tidy bowl man can float his boat: New Hampshire able to float Gore's boat By Bill Sammon and Laura R. Vanderkam THE WASHINGTON TIMES early 4 billion gallons of water were unleashed from a massive dam Thursday to raise the level of the Connecticut River in Cornish, N.H., so that Vice President Al Gore's canoe would not get stuck during an environmental photo opportunity. The action irritated John Kassel, director of the Vermont Department of Natural Resources, who accompanied Mr. Gore on the canoe trip. "They won't release the water for the fish when we ask them to, but somehow they find themselves able to release it for a politician," Mr. Kassel groused as he clambered up the riverbank after the four-mile canoe trip. "The only reason they did this was to make sure the vice president's canoe didn't get stuck." washtimes.com A historical note. Authorities in Minneapolis did a similar thing when Lyndon Johnson visited the Twin Cities during his presidency. It was dry that summer and Minnehaha falls were dry. So authorites opened a dam upstream so Lyndon could have a nice photo-op in front of the madly rushing falls.
