A love story…
November 4, 2008 - 9:21 pm
“All love stories are beautiful at the beginning, and what we’re witnessing now is the beginning of a new one: America and Barack Obama. The story begins with the world spinning off its axis, the country mired in dark times and the way of the fresh-faced savior seemingly blocked by a juggernaut agent of the Status Quo. Only in the end, in the moment that sportswriters die for and that comes once a generation in politics if we’re lucky, the phenom rises to the occasion, gets the big hit in the big game and becomes a man before our very eyes. The old power recedes, and the new era is born.” -Matt Taibbi in Rolling Stone magazine, December 27, 2007, a few weeks before Obama won the Iowa caucus.

Taibbi rules. His political pieces in Rolling Stone are fabulous. His articleon Palin was the best I’d read about her. Ditto Obama piece
