Politics: Rolling Stone: 'Worst. Congress. Ever.'
Matt Taibbi writes a blistering editorial to accompany this issue of Rolling Stone magazine's Cover Story [above], in which he describes "...how our national legislature has become a stable of thieves and perverts -- in five easy steps."
Really worth a read. Some funny, some satire, some stark & sobering.
One of my favorite opening salvos:
"These past six years were more than just the most shameful, corrupt and incompetent period in the history of the American legislative branch. These were the years when the U.S. parliament became a historical punch line, a political obscenity on par with the court of Nero or Caligula -- a stable of thieves and perverts who committed crimes rolling out of bed in the morning and did their very best to turn the mighty American empire into a debt-laden, despotic backwater, a Burkina Faso with cable."Blistering.
