Aside that, yes, Taibbi isn't just some dry reporter. He does paint pictures. I don't see anything wrong with that. He's absolutely eviscerated loads of people who've deserved it (with facts, i might add), regardless of their political bent. Frankly this type of honest, fact-based outrage is in woefully short supply in this country.

Whatever man. I have the article in my hand right now. If you don't want to see that this is a hit piece...then allow me to show you:
1. The title of the article.
2. Nice pic of Romney as a child with his father. The caption?
"Wrecking the legacy. Mitt, age 10, in 1957. He worshipped his dad, George- but spent his career destroying the America his father helped build"
3. He words things in a way to make you think it's something EVIL.
For instance he talks about how Romney invested in businesses without using "his own money". He borrowed it from banks.
You know...EXACTLY like everyone else in the world does. lol
4. Whenever he quotes Romney or any other big financial guy in America in the piece he describes it in derogatory words like "sneered".
Here's that for you:
"Last time I checked" former Morgan Stanley CEO John Mack SNEERED, "we were in the business to be profitable"
Why is that statement bad? And why would he "sneer" it?
5. He makes up a bunch of shit. First he explains that what Romney is doing is what the mob used to call a "bustout" (lol).
Then he writes this:
"It's the bustout" one Wall Street Trader says with a laugh, "That's all it is"
Really? "one Wall Street Trader" is the source?
That's just making up an imaginary guy and quoting him. lol
