His writing in this Rolling Stone piece is not "bullshit calling", it's more akin to writing bullshit.

If you are going to go after Romney in a hit piece like this...why is it needed to exaggerate and paint an untrue picture?
If that is what passes for the "best" political writing, it's disgraceful.

You can make most anybody look bad just by telling it like it is. You don't have to stretch the truth out of proportion. His article read like a GFY post instead of serious political commentary to me.
