Thomas L. Friedman Gives Up Friedman Units

3:59 am EST September 25th, 2007 | News | 3 Comments

Thomas L. Friedman gives up on his neverending desire for six more months of the Iraqi mess. Our pundit class is so isolated, elitist, and wrong – it takes a comedian like Stephen Colbert to challenge them. Why is a guy like Colbert so much better than an insider like Tim Russert, who would never challenge Friedman like this?

    Was it because Colbert was the first interviewer to actually call him out on his string of useless FUs?

    because Stephen doesn’t care what anyone thinks… that’s what makes him the best at what he does.
