Rolling Stone Reporter Matt Taibbi's latest investigative report is being hailed as an eye-opening examination of Texas Congressman and Perennial Presidential Candidate Ron Paul. The story, titled "The Real Ron Paul" is rumored to have taken Taibbi a year to research. Taibbi is refusing to comment on the article until it's published. The article is so controversial Taibbi himself has denied writing it; prompting many to speculate that the article may end the political career of Paul. Two months prior to publication, Rollingstone is allowed the press early access to the three sections of the articles. Many agree that the article will create a firestorm around the already controversial Paul.


The article reveals an intense hatred of Paul's anti-government policies by his Democratic coworkers. Nancy Pelosi is quoted saying "To hear Ron Paul, a highly paid government official, say that the government is wasting money is like hearing Snoop Dog say he's tired of rappers smoking pot. The man has been in government for 35 years longer than 45% of Americans have been alive- face it the guy talks a big game but he has never, nor will he ever deliver."


More surprisingly the article reveals senior Republican leadership is growing increasingly annoyed by Paul's PR machine. A source close to Speaker of the House John Boehner is quoted in the article quipping "Ron Paul, a libertarian? I don't care what he claims to be- during votes he's a good boy and votes the way the adults tell him to." In fact, the article reveals multiple instances in which the Congressman compromises his principles by voting for stricter regulation, government expansions, harsher drug penalties, and annual pay raises for himself.


Paul's own staff are frustrated with Paul's lack of accomplishments. A former intern laments "I joined the to help audit the fed, but all i ended up doing was scheduling tv appearances for him to talk about the Fed and helping him write his book about auditing the Fed."

Wow, Ron Paul is still alive??

[Requia ☣]

I don't think anything will discourage the paulites at this point.  Not his utter lack of accomplishing anything, not his hypocrisy, nothing.

It's alright if Ron Paul goes away. The real important one is Rand Paul, the Dollar Reborn spoken of in Ayn Sedai's prophecies.

is rumormiller.com a satire site?

[Telarus]

Considering this thread id the third hit for "matt taibbi ron paul" on Google, I'd think so.

Well this is embarrassing.

[Disco Pickle]

Even when an article is so obviously satire, there will be those who read it and see what they hoped was reality and will be the first people who tout it as proof of what they "knew all along"

pretty good troll, actually.
