Nonsense creative writing by left wing nuts. This guy might be worse than just a nut. "In 1992 Taibbi moved to Uzbekistan, but was forced to leave six months later after writing articles critical of the country's president, Islom Karimov. Afterwards, Taibbi worked for The Moscow Times as a sports editor, before moving on to work in Russia and Mongolia as a professional athlete and as a correspondent for Montsame, the Mongolian National News Agency. Taibbi then took a break from journalism and turned to professional sports. He was one of the first Americans to play Russian pro baseball, playing center field for Spartak Moscow. While playing professional basketball in Ulan Bator, Mongolia, Taibbi contracted a serious case of pneumonia and returned to Boston for treatment. After recovering with his family, he returned to Russia and became editor of the expat paper Living Here. He then joined Mark Ames in 1997 to co-edit the controversial English-language Moscow-based, bi-weekly free newspaper, The eXile. Taibbi said about that experience, "We were out of the reach of American libel law, and we had a situation where we weren’t really accountable to our advertisers. We had total freedom. In March 2005, Taibbi wrote a column for New York Press, entitled "The 52 Funniest Things About the Upcoming Death of the Pope".[13] The column was denounced by Senator Hillary Clinton, New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Matt Drudge, and Abe Foxman, among others, including Congressman Anthony Weiner who suggested that New Yorkers throw copies of that issue of the magazine in the trash. The editor who approved the column was suspended, and resigned." en.wikipedia.org
