Rolling Stone political writer Matt Taibbi had major wishful thinking Tuesday when he thought DNC superstar Sarah Silverman had promoted his story.

Taibbi was all flattered.
That is, until he learned that this was not the actual Sarah Silverman complimenting his journalism. To his credit, he owned up to the me-ified flub.
