1. We don't like him anymore.
Somebody forgot to tell him that he was supposed to stop saying bad things about politicians last January 20.

4. He calls 'em as he sees 'em. That's the job of an "investigative reporter."
And yes, I know you were kidding. I like Matt. Kinda cute, too.

7. Can an enemy of the people be cute?
Gee, I hope I don't get sent to the re-education center for asking that question.

8. Note to OP, before you blindly follow a columnist, make sure you know his name.

12. Note to Raster
Edited on Mon Dec-14-09 03:28 PM by dave29
wikipedia does change the fact that the OP stated it would be Mike -- before it was edited.

Fortunately for you and the writer of the OP, your organizational and research skills are unequaled

Fortunately for Matt, his dad is Mike.

17. Thanks.
I feel better knowing I didn't just pull that name out of thin air. There for a minute, I thought maybe I'd gotten him confused with Agent Mike or somebody!:rofl:

13. Oops!
The name has been edited, so I've corrected my mistake. As for "blindly following a columnist", you are assuming facts not in evidence. I'm merely posting a news item, not agreeing or disagreeing with Taibbi, but you just go on with your little mind reading gig. Maybe you can get a job on the Mentalist if you get good enough at it.

16. I honestly thought you thought it was Mike, which made me confused
Edited on Mon Dec-14-09 03:46 PM by dave29
when I saw it changed to Matt... I was sad. Hence the genesis of my assumption. I am sure you do not blindly follow anyone. Please disregard my senseless outburst.

Also, you had it (the name) wrong in two posts, which confirms to me you have no idea who or what you are talking about, which makes me feel all around better.

Thanks,

-Dave

20. If denigrating another DUer is what it takes to make you feel better,
then I really do feel sorry for you. That's pretty sad.

19. I've not trusted his bullshit ever since his hit piece on 9/11 conspiracies
"if large numbers of people in this country can swallow 9/11 conspiracy theory without puking, all hope is lost"

25. Why do you think that is?
Last time Krugman was on television talking was when
he was saying bad things about Obama.

But folks should hang on to everyword....
cause that's exactly what CNN wants.
