“Vast forests have already been sacrificed to the public debate about the Tea Party: what it is, what it means, where it’s going. But after lengthy study of the phenomenon, I’ve concluded that the whole miserable narrative boils down to one stark fact: They’re full of shit. All of them.”
From Tea & Crackers by Matt Taibbi
If you care to understand politics in 2010 I urge you to take time to read Taibbi’s fine, scary but — it being Taibbi — amusing and insightful analysis. It’s the best look at political America I’ve read in some time.
This is a great article, and Taibbi’s description of the crowd at the Sarah Palin rally is the best description ever of why I don’t go to the mall anymore. That’s where those people hang out.
