How dumb is NYT's Thomas Friedman?
Golden Carp Awards ^ | November, 6 2006 | Stan Janiak

In a column written by Thomas Friedman for the New York Times, he asks "How dumb are we? It's your typical Bush hit piece, but one of his assertions caused me to up chuck my oatmeal.

George Bush, Dick Chenet and Don Rumsfeld think you're stupid.

They think they can take a mangled quip about President Bush and Iraq by John Kerry - a man who is not even running for office but who, unlike Bush and Cheney never ran away from combat service- and get you to vote against all Democrats in this election.(bolf type is mine)

The person that is really stuck on stupid is Friedman. Despite "Christmas in Cambodia", a purple heart earned for a scratch which was one of three that helped Kerry escape Vietnam after seving a short three months and the fact that Kerry has never released all his military records, he, Friedman ought to CYA where Kerry is concerned as have many Democrats. And Friedman conviently loses his journalistic cynicism when he states that Kerry "is not even running for office."

Can I get some odds on whether Kerry runs again?

Hold up your right hand and extend your fingers. Subtract 6 and the remaining fingers equal his IQ!

> The F102 that the President flew had 269 lost in accidents out of 986 total built. Yeah, that's a cushy billet. No danger there <

Correct. And let's not forget how the LWM (leftwing or "mainstream" media) love to blather endlessly about GWB's "guard" service -- while totally ignoring his having spent almost two years as an ACTIVE DUTY Air Force officer.

I liked his book, but now that I've seen behind the curtain - that'll be the last 30 bucks he gets from me.

Lil' Tommy Windbag is a moist girlyman.

I saw him give speech in front of a Jewish group and he was the most irritatingly, self righteous cuckold I've ever had to listen to.

This "man" clearly has excavated a tunnel into his emotional side....the result is disturbingly to say the least.

Correct. Kerry also got out asap to a cushy non combat job in an Admiral's office. Plus by meeting with the N Vietnamese communists and calling American troops war criminals, Kerry betrayed the troops.

If you read little Tommy Friedman in the Slimes, pretty dumb.

Friedman and his ilk have an unbelievable double standard criticizing W's honorable ANG service while at the same time hugging the draft-dodging, cocaine-sniffing, "I loathe the military" Billy Jeff's gonads.
