Matt Taibbi on Bill Maher.....this guy ROCKS...

If you get a chance to see this guy on tv, take it. He is hilarious, biting and right on. His writing in Rolling Stone is good too. But this guy is charismatic, gets his point across and is funny.

8. ?? No, LOL. I mean I can't watch a TV show with Tony Snow dissing Edwards or saying

stupid chyte like "the economy is good", when John is out there doing marathons and Elizabeth is carrying that horrible schedule and taking chemo ... just to help people, to give them hope.. and have somebody diss them or minimize them or say "why is he still running". It hurts me to the core.

That's why I don't read a lot of the anti-Edwards threads. I'd get kicked off this board in a heartbeat. Yanno?

He did repeat his stupid talking points but i was delighted that there was an actual discussion of John's message and the media blackout too.it was very positive for John Maher really likes John.And so does the Rolling Stone Reporter.He said John's messgae was resonating!And that John would do so much better with coverage .

7. He laughed right in Snowjob's face - pissed him off too

Taibbi had a little grin on his face everytime snow opened his piehole. He'd let him babble out his talking points for a while and then stick in a little jab, complete with a kind of little bush ;like smirk. It was great seeing their condescension thrown back in their face. And it got under snow's skin. He got red in the face and screamed at Taibbi on one occasion. The smile never left Taibbi's face.

It was great TV IMO. Taibbi was VERY dismissive of the media as well.

11. Wes Clark supporters HATE Matt Taibbi. He wrote a scathing

hit piece on Clark for The Nation during the 2004 primaries and Clarkies were cancelling their subscriptions left and right. Check it out:

12. Taibbi was fantastic

He was biting, witty, up on the issues, & coming from a female perspective, damn fine to look at. :D
