The Smirking Chimp - "Gidget address[es] the Reichstag"



Trying to kill 8 hours in Gatwick airport, London, I picked up a copy of the latest Rolling Stone magazine not expecting to end up reading on of the most scathing commentaries on Sarah Palin I've seen anywhere. Written by Matt Taibbi, a political columnist for rolling stone, author of a couple of best selling books and serial guest on "The Daily Show". The piece from Rolling Stone magazine was just mosted on his blog http://www.smirkingchimp.com. Many reviewers have hailed him as the next Hunter S. Thompson and after reading this piece I think that is a fair comparison. His turn of phrase is witty, scathing and some might say more than a little cynical. e.g. - "Not only is Sarah Palin a fraud, she's the tawdriest, most half-assed fraud imaginable, 20 floors below the lowest common denominator, a character too dumb even for daytime TV -and this country is going to eat her up, cheering her every step of the way"...
