Smells Like Deceased Elephants is an excellent collection from Matt Taibbi, "a politics reporter with the gonzo spirit that made Hunter S. Thompson and P. J. O'Rourke so much fun" (The Washington Post). Combining Taibbi's most incisive and amusing work from his "Road Work" column in Rolling Natural stone, Smells Like Deceased Elephants shines an unflinching limelight on the corruption, dishonesty, and large laziness of your leaders. Taibbi has lots to say about George W. Bush, Jack Abramoff, Tom Wait, and all the others, but he doesn't just struck inside the Beltway. He gets involved in the action, infiltrating Senator Conrad Melts away' party under disguise as a lobbyist for a imaginary oil company that would like to drill in the Grand Canyon. He floats into apocalyptic post-Katrina New Orleans in a dinghy with Sean Penn. He would go to Iraq as an embedded reporter, where he witnesses the mind-boggling dysfunction of your job and spends three nights in Abu Ghraib jail. And he records from two of the most bizarre and sharing with tests in recent memory space: California v. Michael Jackson and the evolution-versus-intelligent-design trial in Harrisburg, Pa. Evenly funny and shocking, this is great work from one of your most entertaining freelance writers.
