Matt Taibi


"Many years ago I pitched a magazine editor on a story about Bernie Sanders, then a congressman from Vermont, who'd agreed to something extraordinary – he agreed to let me, a reporter, stick next to him without restrictions over the course of a month in congress.

<snip>

"Bernie wasn't quite so famous at the time and the editor scratched his head."Bernie Sanders," he said. "That's the one who cares, right?"

"Right, that's the guy," I said."

Here's the article from last April.

This is sending me off to bed feeling like a kind balm has been spread over me in anticipation of the Southern Swing through Super Tuesday tomorrow.

of several great threads tonight are bracing me for it. Can hardly wait till we get to a big batch of Bernie states.

7. That's a beautiful quote.

Thank you for posting.

I really hope we get to see this man become the nominee for the democratic party. He's a shining example of what the party should be.

Matt is one of the (or maybe the) best in-depth reporters writing today.

It just keep s getting better.

11. Beautiful.

Bernie summed up --

"Bernie Sanders is the rarest of Washington animals, a completely honest person. If he's motivated by anything other than a desire to use his influence to protect people who can't protect themselves, I've never seen it."

Thank you for sharing, jillan.

13. You Go Matt!

His statement is so true and I have been a fan of Taibbi for some time, he reminds me of the late great Hunter Thompson.
