Matt Tabbi: I've never seen it...

[Playinghardball]

[merrily]

1. What does a dumbass like Taibbi know? He seems smart only when he goes after Republicans.

[azmom]

2. He is a rare species.

[ananda]

3. Chuckle

Like Diogenes, I guess...

[JackRiddler]

4. Taibbi

[WillyT]

5. HUGE K & R !!! - THANK YOU !!!

[kag]

6. Love me some Taibbi!!!

...and some BERNIE!

[SharonAnn]

41. Especially this quote: "Goldman Sachs is a giant vampire squid wrapped around the face of humanity,

"Goldman Sachs is a giant vampire squid wrapped around the face of humanity, relentlessly jamming its blood funnel into anything that smells like money."

Best quote ever!

[BeanMusical]

7. Cool! Kick and R.

[Enthusiast]

8. Kicked and recommended a whole bunch!

[Fuddnik]

9. Awww, Taibbi. Another right-wing hit man out to whack Hillary.

For those who don't get it.

[DirkGently]

10. Wow. Taibbi is merciless.

For him to say that about a sitting political leader is quite a thing.

[Uncle Joe]

11. Kicked and recommended.

Thanks for the thread, Playinghardball.

[mountain grammy]

12. Proud to be the 100th rec for Matt Taibbi and, of course, Bernie!

[840high]

23. rec #188

[stuffmatters]

13. How cool if Taibbi became President Bernie's press secretary

[Wounded Bear]

14. Interesting...

He'd be the first press secretary to ask some idiot RW hit man pseudo-journalist, "What kind of fucking question is that? Fucking idiot. Next!"

[ChairmanAgnostic]

15. that would be worth seeing.

although, he would probably be more "british" with his insult. The best english language insults are always done by the brits.

[restorefreedom]

21. maybe its the accent

they can say the most insulting things and make it sound like they are inviting you over for tea

[ChairmanAgnostic]

22. How true.

[AlbertCat]

40. maybe its the accent

No, that's French. Anything in French sounds polite.


It's got to be word choice and position. Reading Jane Austin will teach one how to insult while being polite.

[marlakay]

16. Now that sounds like a great idea!

I like Matt a lot, doesn't surprise me he likes Bernie.

[Leith]

19. Oh, YES!!

He has written quite a bit about Bernie and how he is the only honest person left in Congress.

[stuffmatters]

24. He'd educate the public on complex issues while challenging all incompetent MSM

All the Chucktodds would have to start actually working to knowledgeably keep up. Because with Taibbi's gift for clearly
& entertainingly explaining reality...the public would be better informed than the lazy MSM.

Win win

[senz]

17. K&R. Taibbi is pretty honest and intelligent himself.

[Dont call me Shirley]

18. Thanks Matt! Bernie speaks for and with us!

[passiveporcupine]

20. Thank you Matt!

Bernie is the most completely honest person I've seen in politics in my lifetime. I tend to be blunt like Bernie and it's not always a likable trait. A lot of people really don't want to hear the truth. But, to me honesty is far more important than polish. Put enough layers of polish on something and it stiffens up and looks artificial and acts artificial...and it's real soul dies inside a little more with each layer of polish, because it can't breath any more.

Bernie is like a breath of fresh air.

[arlington.mass]

28. fresh air indeed!

Bernie is truly that DC rarity, fresh air to the disenfranchised

[passiveporcupine]

29. welcome to DU!

[punguin54]

32. Well said. I strongly agree.

[tomm2thumbs]

25. Glad to be 200th Rec!

Taibbi would know

[fredamae]

26. Before he was "Bernie For President"

he was known as "America's Senator"

[Maven]

27. Please LINK TO SOURCE when posting these "quote cards"

DU is not a Facebook feed.

Otherwise, great quote. Thank you.

[smokey nj]

33. This is from a Rolling Stone article entitled "Give 'em Hell, Bernie"

[JEB]

31. Bernie is to politics

what Matt is to journalism.

[rhett o rick]

34. I get the feeling that Clinton supporters don't like Matt. I think they prefer

Chuck Todd.

[appalachiablue]

35. K & R. 281.

[Michigan-Arizona]

36. Huge K&R! n/t

[sabrina 1]

37. Matt Taibbi is right, again. And he is a rare thing in journalism himself.

[pansypoo53219]

38. he never visited milwaukee's socialist mayor.

heck, we had several. the 1st saved many from the spanish flu. frank zeidler AND HIS BROTHER were both bernies.

[Hepburn]

39. KNR............!!!!! n/t
