Taibbi explains that Romney is a narcissist: "They're all narcissists, these colossal Wall Street types–they have to be, because the way they make their money makes moral sense only if you're viewing things from the top of the heap. Asking them to step outside that comfort zone, into the world where the rest of us live, is an unthinkable outrage. It's hard to be likable when you can't even temporarily look at things from the bottom up ...."
The reason why I left the GOP was that I noticed the disconnect between the performance of the economy and the rhetoric coming from the republican commentators that I read online and heard in conversation. Much like Eric Holder, Janet Reno was constantly attacked on right wing talk radio for political gain. They were critical to the first lady in sometimes bizarre ways, and even wrapped a conspiracy theory around Vince Foster's suicide.
Despite the claims of the reactionary media in 1992 and 1996, Clinton's Presidency became a reality has been well remembered.

Matt Taibbi is a genius. Easily the greatest political and financial writer of our time.

The prospects for the general election aren't any better. Forecast: the 12 years of suck is expected to continue for at least another 4.

So, according to you Clinton 'didn't suck'? Ha.
