Love Pete Wentz, Hate Politicians



Why is Rolling Stone still in print? In their latest issue (there's been 1045 of these things) they pick people like Pete Wentz, Akon and Chris Daughtry as music "experts", while simultaneously tearing down both Barrack Obama and Hillary Clinton. This is their message: be unquestioning in what our major record labels put out, think everything our major politicians say are cold calculated lies.

Matt Taibbi, who wrote the aforementioned article (The New Nixon), cherry picks a few facts from the early chapters of the Hillary Bio A Woman In Charge to paint her as a Republican at heart, while leaving out tidbits like the fact she was a strong advocate for children's rights, and interned for a law firm with communist ties in her youth. Meanwhile he affirms that Obama "bared his vagina to the state of Nevada" and isn't quit black and manly enough for him. Clinton apparently is the new Nixon (cold and calculating) and Obama is the new Kennedy (superficial and running on image). Shut the fuck up Matt Taibbi. Politics is smoke and a joke, get used to it. Damn.

Meanwhile in the same issue you can turn to page 23 and learn all about The Jonas Brothers (Disney's Emo Heartthrobs)!
