Rolling Stone, and dumb as a rock

August 20th, 2009 3:57 pm · 3 comments

This is, maybe, how you save print journalism. Looks like I’m going to have to go out and buy the latest edition of Rolling Stone, which not only features the Beatles on the cover (promo for Mikhail Gilmore’s piece on the real story behind the band’s breakup), but also a big new piece from Matt Taibbi on “How Washington is screwing up health care reform.” Neither piece is online, forcing me to go spend some hard-earned cash…

Here’s Taibbi on “Morning Joe,” featuring Maria Bartiromo, as Atrios notes, insisting that “America is awesome because it’s America and it is.”

Even better is John Cole’s line that this “is Bachman/Palin level stupid. The only thing missing from her outfit was the giant USA foam finger.”
