Where I actually enjoy an interview with Matt Taibbi of Rolling Stone on his piece: "Tea and Crackers" (VIDEO)

This, it turns out, was a pretty good interview with Matt Taibbi of Rolling Stone, on his article about the Teabaggers:



Two points of clarification, though:

One: Yes, Matt. When the Teabaggers are under the impression that the whites have become an "oppressed majority", I'd call that fairly racist.

Two: Matt Taibbi decrying the Teabaggers tendency to grasp at simple solutions is laughable beyond the absurd. This from the guy who always says that it's all Goldman Sachs' fault?

(Sorry, after reading Too Big To Fail, and The Great Crash 1929, I believe strongly that the cycle of boom and bust is systemic, and not limited to one organization. Anyone saying otherwise is just trying to sell something...like books or magazine articles.)
