Lara's Wrong (?)

Rolling Stones reporter Matt Taibbi dumps on CBS News' Lara Logan for loftily claiming that there had to be 'ground rules' for the now-infamous Rolling Stone piece that brought down Stanley McChrystal.

Taibbi in 'Lara Logan, You Suck' Here's CBS's chief foreign correspondent saying out loud on TV that when the man running a war that's killing thousands of young men and women every year steps on his own dick in front of a journalist, that journalist is supposed to eat the story so as not to embarrass the flag.

Huffington Post's Danny Shea has more of Lara's comments on CNN's 'Reliable Sources' that set off Taibbi. 

Remember, Lara met and married then-married American 'contractor' Joe Burkett whom she snatched met while covering the Iraq war or whatever over there in the Middle East.  Lara's pregnant with her second child. Rather than blame CBS like Taibbi, it's more likely Lara's gone soft since hooking up with Burkett. Joe had her when he started humming 'Lara's Song' (Somewhere My Love) from 'Dr. Zhivago' as he kicked the ass of Lara's then-boyfriend, CNN's Michael Ware, in a CIA safe house.
