I know it's from Rolling Stone, but damn, they left no stone unturned.

There is nothing in that article that I was not aware of, but I hope some people would read it. I doubt many will, however. Long-form journalism is not as popular as it once was.

If I wasn't in law school I would read the whole thing. But as it stands I just don't have the time. How I miss those days of unrestrained freedom...
Rolling Stone usually has great stuff, IMO. I remember reading their issue on Hunter S. Thompson after he died. Phenomenal stuff.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
I can't wait until they do Obama and we get to find out the truth about Rezco, Aires, White, Acorn and all that, boy would I like all of that to be cleared up.
End of 2009 Predictions (Set, January 1st 2009)
Wii- 72 million 3rd Year Peak, better slate of releases
360- 37 million Should trend down slightly after 3rd year peak
PS3- 29 million Sales should pick up next year, 3rd year peak and price cut

You know how bad it sounds when you mispell Rezko and Ayres? You sure as hell don't come off as informed about those issues.

How could he misspell those names...he goes to Harvard?

If they did a story about Obama and their findings didn't match what they've been telling you on fox news, you wouldn't believe it anyways.

Still, it doesn't matter. BigJon has a point... Why hasn't anyone done a piece like that about Obama?
I read part of the article BTW. It was too long to finish in the grocery store, heh. I didn't feel like buying the issue.

I am not informed about the issue of Ayres and Rezco, I did not feel like looking up how to spell their names. I was guessing on the spelling. I guess if all you can do is attack my spelling you are admitting I have a point. And my point is not that the Rev White, Ayres and what not is true, I am not sure if Obama really knew. But it would be nice if someone did an indepth look at it.
And whoever pulled that anti Foxnews bs mantra... stfu. The only difference between them and the other networks is they attempt to show both side of each canidate. So far I have only seen the Messiah angle taken by CNN, NBC, CBS, and whatnot on BHO. Did you see the Gibson interview of Obama recently? Now compare it with the questions he asked palin....
