Can you believe this bullshit? No, not the congresswoman crying rape after bending over and saying fuck me hard to Wall Street. I’m talking about Rudy Giuliani giving us the most bastardized version of Reaganomics I’ve ever heard:

Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani defended corporate bonuses Friday, saying that cutting them also means slashing jobs in the Big Apple.

“If you somehow take that bonus out of the economy, it really will create unemployment,” he said on CNN’s “American Morning.” “It means less spending in restaurants, less spending in department stores, so everything has an impact.”

What the fuck? So ensure that regular New Yorkers continue to be serfs for the CEOs on Wall Street is now the US governments responsibility? Rudy seems to be saying “Give those poor rich bastards a hand up, so that they can shit all over you while you prepare their mocha frappacinos.” Hey Rudy how about the teachers NY is going to fire because they have no budget? Or the MTA workers? Or everyone who rides the fucking MTA? At least there will be jobs for them picking up the purebred dog shit of the rich, right? Keep on playing your fucking fiddle.

The Article: Matt Taibbi’s review of Thomas Friedmans latest book, Hot, Flat and Crowded.

The Text: When some time ago a friend of mine told me that Thomas Friedman’s new book, Hot, Flat, and Crowded, was going to be a kind of environmentalist clarion call against American consumerism, I almost died laughing.

Beautiful, I thought. Just when you begin to lose faith in America’s ability to fall for absolutely anything—just when you begin to think we Americans as a race might finally outgrow the lovable credulousness that leads us to fork over our credit card numbers to every half-baked TV pitchman hawking a magic dick-enlarging pill, or a way to make millions on the Internet while sitting at home and pounding doughnuts— along comes Thomas Friedman, porn-stached resident of a positively obscene 114,000 11,400 square foot suburban Maryland mega-monstro-mansion and husband to the heir of one of the largest shopping-mall chains in the world, reinventing himself as an oracle of anti-consumerist conservationism.
