Taibbi’s piece now online over at Rolling Stone, arguably one of the most influential pieces of the month, if not the year, on the basis of who’s attacking it - without any of those critics saying that Taibbi got his facts wrong. It’s just how he’s “interepreting” those facts.
While we argue about Sotomayor’s “wise Latina” line, this is what’s really going on, behind the curtain.

Think it will be a gunshot wound to the head in the kitchen as the grandkids sleep upstairs ala Hunter S Thompson? Or maybe a hanging from the home gym equipment in the basement as family sleeps upstairs ala Kellerman? Or maybe it will be a triangulated turkey shoot as he tours Dealey Plaza? |
