Matt Taibbi on The Hour with George Stroumboulopoulos

http://www.cbc.ca/thehour

Matt Taibbi writes about politics for 'Rolling Stone' and has been a regular contributor to 'Real Time with Bill Maher.' He's lived undercover as a born-again Christian in Texas, matched wits with 9-11 conspiracy theorists, covered the war in Iraq and exposed the mind-boggling inner workings of the U.S. Senate. He's also been on the campaign trail since day one - at the primaries, debates, conventions and stump speeches. As McCain and Obama hit the finish line, Matt's here with the inside story.

Matt Taiibi may be crude, but he's funny, direct and well informed. In this political era he's a national treasure.

good job, george! matt taibbi is one of the few journalists in "mainstream" media to give us the news straight...his recent piece on the financial bail outs is a must-read for anyone interested in actually understanding what's going on..thanks, again, george, for this compelling guest!

Here it is in 2012 and the elections are upon us again. More Slogans, more pretty words like, "Yes, We can" and "God Bless America", sing the National Anthem and get the peoples heart pounding hard, oh and be sure to flip flop on the real issues, just continue to say what everybody wants to hear, get elected and bring all the Goldman Sachs gang into your Administration. You can bet that the American people will elect another bought and paid for puppet again and again, but God Bless America.

@SFOtter I agree. That's why I like Matt AND Rolling Stone magazine.

Is Matt wearing a bear-skin wife-beater or is that shit real?

@pretorious700 He never said he wouldn't. He is not as bad as any republican that could have been president. Obama is a republican so it makes sense he is doing badly. He caves on every republican demand its amazing.

[pretorious700]

Interesting to watch this now since Obama has been such an abysmal failure and monumental liar. Taibbi even has admitted as much in recent interviews and op pieces.

@1JustBreathe lol, how's that working out for you, dummy?

Matt has a poor sense of the typical Republican. Believing that Republicans will rally around Sarah Palin in 2012 is like believing that sailors will rally around Gilligan. Yes, she will fool the naive kids and last-minute voters, but the majority of mature Republicans consider her an energetic and spunky ditz.

[jimbobanalbeats]

Such a phenomenal writer.

[curetheingorant]

Finally, a well informed, intelligent, insightful American.

George, you're an idiot. Don't try to keep up to Taibbi. You aren't.
