Campaign reporter gives Ohio a second look

Campaign reporter gives Ohio a second look

The first I ever heard of Matt Taibbi was when he appeared on The Daily Show. (Watch the clip here.) He was promoting his new book, Spanking the Donkey, in which he tells of his experiences as an irreverent reporter on the 2004 campaign trail. Why NOT cover the campaign trail in a gorilla suit? There just isn't a good answer to that question.

It was an interesting inteview--I liked the part where he tells of Kerry's reaction to the gorilla suit. Kerry asked, "Okay, what's with the costume?" and, without missing a beat, Taibbi had responded, "What costume?" Kerry responded, "Riiiiight", which Taibbi thought was an uncharacteristically cool response "as much of a doofus as he is." Anyway, I meant to take a look at his book eventually, but forgot about him until the following showed up in my inbox via Ken Blackwell keyword news:
