Not sure how many of you follow certain columnists, but I absolutely LOVE reading Matt Taibbi's work.

To me he's like a Hunter S. Thompson (with a lot less drugs). He pulls absolutely no punches, and slugs both the Republicans and Democrats, and not in a tasteful way.

I have no reason to advertise for him other than I just love his articles, so check out these 3 that are very recent about his time on the campaign trail -- one of which I think was posted on the LRCblog.

"Harry Reid is a giant pussy"

"Hillary Clinton is Nixon revised"

"The Media is full of shit"

Honestly after I read his stuff, I was compelled to subscribe to Rollingstone just to read it.

Check it out -- you may find it interesting.

Post a comment here if you check it out to keep this bumped up so others can have a look.

I havent read his articles but he's on Bill Maher every other week as a special correspondent. He's a smartass but he speaks the truth, at least on the show. He's a young guy too.

I love Matt Taibbi. He interviewed one of the posters on this forum last summer when he was covering the Romney campaign. It was in Florida, I believe, and I can't remember who it was.
