That Rolling Stone would continue to employ a pale imitation of Hunter Thompson who can't get basic facts straight shows just how far that publication has fallen.

Look, there is plenty to be disappointed by with the administration's approach to the stimulus, job creation, and financial regulation (not to mention things like executive privilege), but Taibbi's hysterical, "meandering conspiracy," doesn't so much as graze reality. Governing's tough, and there are always choices to be made, but they are not always between "good" and "evil."

His father, a real reporter, must be so proud.
