Don't forget Spanking the Donkey.

Taibbi is one of the few political commentators worth any attention.

I like Matt Taibbi's journalistic - and presentational - style.

I like him because, even though he has an insider's and specialist's knowledge of the workings of politics, he has a down-to-earth way of being able to present it so that it's easy to understand, and entertaining, too.

Above all else, he's bang on the money, from what I can tell.

@911insidejo8 You misunderstand me and are making assumptions about my political views. I think 9/11 truthers are full of shit. I'm also anti war to the core. We caused 9/11 with our foreign policy, but it wasn't some kind of inside job. Absolute horse shit.

@jimbobanalbeats ...you're right, I think I'll go to my local recruiter and go fight some terrorists.

@911insidejo8 9/11 truthers are absolute dickwads. Spend your time doing something useful.

Anyone realize that he just predicted the tea party in this interview, what a fucking genus. I need to listen to matt more often, he predicted the return of the republicans after the elections and the tea party before it existed. Wow now that is impressive.

@911insidejo8 You only have to look at what rolling stone did to that US general recently, that tells me who they're working for,and it isn't in the USA's best interest. The USA is being attacked from within, with help from a terrorist state, Israel

[911insidejo8]

@73mandala ...well right--he calls us "dickwads."

Personally I can't stand this elitist snob. I do like some of his pieces on the banking situation but I don't trust him overall, especially when he goes into attack mode against any thinking individual who understands 911 for what it was.

[somewhatlongdong]

CNN should give this guy a show.

[73mandala]

All you plebs who think this guys a great journo,the clown thinks 911 was done by a guy in a cave. Whoever says such nonsense is an absolute moron

I'm a Taibbi completist--I'm just reading the only other book of his I haven't already read, THE EXILE, which is also great. All of his books just rock.
