Friedman seems to be turning up everywhere lately (well, on CNBC, MSNBC) as an expert on everything. Just a few weeks ago he was an expert on GM. Now he's an expert on the ME conflict. Must be nice to be so learned. What a putz!
Only 6 years ago the Tom Friedman & NYT endorsed Lieberman to become the Vice President of the United States. Today the same NYT says he is not even worthy of being a US Senator and endorsed his opponent in democratic primary. Funny, idiotic or BDS?
I'm still trying to pin down just when "expert" became a synonym for "asshole".
Friedman is one of the DUMBEST commentators on the Middle East. This week, he argued that the only hope was that the 'Nations of Order' - France, China and Russia - band together to send heavy troops to separate the two sides.
He also bemoaned the fact that GWB failed to motivate the Nations of Order to deal with Iraq, Iran and Lebanon.
Now, just how STUPID do you have to be to believe that France, Russia and China would EVER band to gether to create order in the ME?
If he wasn't very drunk while writing the column, he should be banned from commenting on any foriegn affairs ever.
