Why can't a major newspaper hire a guy like Taibbi? There are SO MANY lame columnists working at our nation's newspaper. I wish guys like Broder and Cohen would just leave already.
Rolling Stone's Matt Taibbi on today's D.C.:
The successful politician today is the one who can best convert the agendas of his campaign contributors into politically saleable policies. That's the business of government today; both the legislative and the executive branch are mainly engaged in searching out and finding the acceptable mean between voter sentiment and financial interest. It's sort of an ongoing math problem -- figuring out how many voters you can afford to fuck every four years, or how much money you should be extracting, and from which sponsors, for each rape of your constituents.
Read the whole piece which is actually about how much the Iraq Report sucks.
