Palast: TRAGEDY IN NEW YORK: FRENCH FRIED FRIEDMAN
Edited on Fri Sep-19-03 08:37 AM by T Roosevelt
Guess Greg's not a fan...


Thursday Sep 18, 2003
How sad. The last remaining neurons of Thomas Friedman's shrinking brain were apparently lost in hot bubbling tub of deep fatuousness today.

The evidence is in Friedman's loony-tunes comment, "Our War with France," in this morning's Paper of Record. You can only conclude the man's mind has been French Fried.

What got Friedman's brain a-boilin' is the impertinent suggestion by French diplomats that, if the US invaded Iraq to bring democracy, then why not allow Iraqis to vote. Vote! Can you imagine! It's all that silly 'libertay, equalitay' stuff that unsophisticated Americans believed before the Patriot Act.

2. LOL!
Any DUers who still read and believe Friedman's neo-con BS should volunteer for duty in the new war against France.

3. You got it right
Friedman is more of a neo-con every day. It's laughable the stuff he writes--pure Bush agenda--and then to hear him tout himself as some kind of purely objective independent thinker.
