Reply #14: As much as I like what Taibbi is saying in this article...

... I cannot ignore the fact that this is the same Matt Taibbi who wrote the outlandish hit piece on Wesley Clark featured in The Nation, "Clark's True Colors". His piece in that instance came off as an immature high school sophomore plotting to embarrass a rather affable member of the popular clique -- almost exactly the same kind of behavior that he's condemning in this piece, except this time he's defending the underdog.

There's nothing wrong with defending the underdog -- but one doesn't have to tear down someone in a "better" position who doesn't really wish them ill will.
