Bill talks to Matt Taibbi from
Rolling Stone about what it's
like to cover political
campaigns and when asked if
there is a theme that has
emerged from the 2008 election
and what would you say it was
Taibbi responds that in the
beginning of the campaign
there was a theme that there
was a rebellion against media
annointed candidates as front
runners and a discussion of
inevitable front runners fell
by the way side for a while
and that the voters were sick
and tired of being told who
was going to be their nominee
and how it seems to have come
full circle now and we might
get the same people that the
media told us we were going to
get in the first place which
are McCain and Clinton. He
talks about how f$%ked up it
is that when 70% of the
country wants to withdraw from
Iraq that we have two pro-war
candidates as front
runners.They get into the
different political campaigns
and their potential
problems,and the Carolina
debate and how the media loves
things like boxing metaphors,
and how they just repeat
whatever talking point that
the candidates or the
administration puts out. Tony
Snow Job injects himself into
the conversation and talks
over everyone from there and
acts like the good Bush
apologist. The man ruined the
show by talking over everyone
the entire time and I would
have loved for just one of
them to have asked him to just
shut the hell up and quit
acting like he still works for
Bush and let someone else
talk.
