Breaking: Matt Taibbi Quits Kurt Andersen Fan Club!
In this week's New York Press, Matt Taibbi expresses his love for Kurt Andersen in the only way he knows how: by ripping the guy a new asshole.
In a piece with the subtle subhed, "Kurt Andersen, you're old and you suck," Taibbi takes the SPY founder and current media jack-of-all-trades to task:
What Andersen proves is that once you've put in a few years of writing very well, with dignity and iconoclastic fervor, you can then mail it in for the rest of your life. You can melt into the easy life and undead thinking of a timorous upper-class weasel, and you can dress it up as "realism" because you were somebody once.
Well, that's not very nice, Matt! What did Kurt ever do to you? It's not like the guy's Chuck Klosterman.
