Taibbi is a champ, give this guy some awards. Give him a raise, give him a sunday NY Times column. Give him a weekly spot on the Maddow show, give him megaphone.
Has Matt Taibbi ever correct his lie about George W. Bush and the Plastic Turkey.
MATT TAIBBI: Yes. That was actually reported in the — in another part of The Nation, in the daily outrage column online. But, yeah it was a plastic turkey, apparently. Which is even funnier. The famous shot where he’s holding the big turkey, apparently that’s a plastic turke
Good reply.. some vague point that is not true.. Matt never created the story nor is it a lie..

Your link states that the Turkey was real but was used for show. However it was not plastic as Matt Taibbi stated.

Bring back Glass-Steagle. No more Citibank becoming CitiGROUP by eating up investment banks. No more insurance companies selling financial products. C’mon fed, kill all this shit.
From what I understand, Junior won by the smallest margin of any President in recent years. And considering the Exit Polls (who are very rarely wrong) who had Kerry ahead in some of the major states… Those Exit Poll numbers had Kerry win.
Well, he was re-elected…to a position he was never elected to. Both terms were unconstitutional. That being said, it’s absolutely unbelievable that the Democrats weren’t able to find someone in ’04 to beat one of the most unpopular presidents of all time.
It was an amazing article. I’m still pissed at Rolling Stone for merging Taibbi into the National Affairs crapshoot and then deleting everyone’s negative reactions on his blog, but even I bought the issue for this piece, and I DO NOT regret it. Love Taibbi, thanks heath.
Did you notice that Rolling Stone softened down the entire article just last night, cutting it down from 5 pages to 2 lame, bland pages on the website? Hunter S. Thompson must be rolling in his grave right about now! Grow a pair RS!
Savage started coverage of this 9 months ago i think. He also touched on one more key piece of the puzzle that Matt did not which was a 2004 piece of legislation that bush removed that removed safe guards on leveraging limitis.

Taibbi’s new Rolling Stone article is great.

but make sure and turn on your “safesearch” preferences first.
Taibbi & Maddow in the same show = entertaining while informing and educating.

The only Plastic Turkey here is the former never-elected President.
Sadly, the second time, he WAS elected. So he’s only really a 1 term president…

Well, I guess I disagree.

I think it was rigged.

Unbelievable? That’s a very polite way to put it, AjInfinity
Bonesmen? Both candidates. Who would have thought it?
OR the fix was in. Given that Ohio _was_ stolen, you might like to consider what more cynical sorts have assumed for many years –
Gore Vidal – ?v=1KgkFNSHYno
How do we know it _was_ stolen? Congressman Conyers told us how it was done –

Marry me, Matt.
