Re: Russian health care

Russ Smith no longer owns the NY Press, and hasn't for over a year.
Taibbi is part of the new gang at the paper, and his politics are
decidedly to the left. His stuff for the eXile was harshly critical
of the hacks who write for the western press, and for all the proper
reasons. He's writing a book on the presidential campaign for The New
Press; his favorite candidate was Kucinich, and his profile of Wesley
Clark in The Nation massively annoyed the Clark campaign, again for
all the proper reasons.

Taibbi (whose column at the Russia Journal, as you know, I used to edit) described himself in his eXile days as an inconsistent left-winger, and Ames described himself as an inconsistent rightwinger. Limonov is a political ideology unto himself.

Taibbi's Press Review was always a thing of beauty.
