Matt Taibbi watches election returns, decides that political reporting is becoming indistinguishable from sportscasting, and says, to this space's delight:
Both politics and sports turned into this shit because this format happens to sell the most Cheerios, regardless of what the content is. If you work backward from that premise, and start thinking about what the consequences of that phenomenon might actually be, your head can easily explode.
Casual pottymouth and politics mix surprisingly well. Bring on 2008!
