Matt Taibbi is no better than Ann Coulter

    Has she ever written for Rolling Stone?

    And was it juvenile and not helpful, the writer using that phrase? Absolutely.

    Really? Must not have a lot of miles on it.

    So this prick doesn't get along with anybody, does he?
     
  4. Taibbi's "HST For The New Millennium" shtick got very tired very quickly. He spent too much time in the '04 campaign book of his talking about how ugly the female reporters were. Jeez, there's courage for you.

    Matty's taken the torch of Hunter S. and run with it. Matt doesn't always hit the target, but Cheney proves Matt's assessment correct every time he opens his mouth.
    Caught his dad on MSNBC the other day, and his mom (stepmom?) used to be a reporter for WJAR-10 in Providence.

    I'm still waiting on a book report by Taibbi on that Jonathan Franzen book when he was locked up at Abu Ghraib ... Come on now, Matty, we want in-depth analysis of the characters, protagonists, plot theory, etc.

    What's hilarious is righties who get all inflamed when, in the course of natural conversation, you refer to Coulter as a c.unt. Like it's rude or unchivalrous or something to call poor little Annie a nasty name.

    (What's also hilarious is that that word among all others gets censored -- we can call people cocksuckers and pigfuckers and babyrapers and anything else we want, but here on SJ. com, if you want to call Ann Coulter a cu.nt, you have to tiptoe around it. )

    There's nothing wrong with calling Ann Coulter a cu.nt. Truth is an absolute defense.

    pussycat. No need for periods in between. pussycat.
     
  9. Again.
    When Matt Taibbi is the featured speaker at the biggest annual convention of liberals at which he is introduced by a prominent Democratic candidate for president and at which he is followed to the podium by the incumbent Democratic vice-president of the United States, we can talk this comparison.

    You're kidding, right?

    There are some major "pussycats" here. Jesus.

    Like, say, when the equally repugnant Michael Moore spent the entire 2004 convention front-and-center next to Jimmy Carter?

    Taibbi has written some silly, juvenile shit. But the article he wrote on Tom DeLay last spring was amazing...he just destroyed the Bugman.
