Matt Taibbi on Matt Taibbi

Ouch. Luke Matthews mimics the Taibbi style to tell us about Taibbi:

Taibbi is a ludicrous dumb jock who managed to have a failed basketball career in three foreign countries, countries that don’t even care about basketball. This is tantamount being a failed Russian bandy player in America. [An obscure sport that only Russians have really perfected]. Taibbi has the kind of stupid former athlete look about him that suggests subpar intelligence and selfish cunning. His lupine features and hooded eyes suggest Taibbi would believe letting a date eat dinner before slipping her a Ruffie was a touch of class. His inability to hold onto a reporter job and reliance on far left appearances on Rachel Maddow and Air America show his oafishness and guile that are only really appropriate at Teamster beatings and SEIU organizing rallies. Taibbi shows himself to be a man without an original thought in his head or the ability to organize a coherent argument so he just steals them relying on his father’s position as a NBC reporter to keep him employed, somewhere, anywhere.
