The worst ten years ago was Thomas Friedman of the NYT gushing about how great China was because they got things done.
“...extolled China’s “one-party autocracy,” which, he told us, “is led by a reasonably enlightened group of people.””
“...what if we could just be China for a day? I mean, just, just, just one day. You know, I mean, where we could actually, you know, authorize the right solutions, and I do think there is a sense of that, on, on everything from the economy to environment. I don’t want to be China for a second, OK, I want my democracy to work with the same authority, focus and stick-to-itiveness. But right now we have a system that can only produce suboptimal solutions.”

Thanks for that information - I hadn’t seen it before. Mind you, I had an immense amount of contempt for Friedman due to his complete and total idiocy on the Mideast (a place about which he claims to be an expert). This is icing on the cake, and shows his true colors (mostly red).
