Today, a historic day, a day the chickens came home to roost, a day the emperor wore no clothes, Tom Friedman, buffoon, apologist, cheerleader, pie-eater, looked in the mirror and saw the truth.
Read this incredible, incredible column, as Tom Friedman at long last 'fesses up to his genocidal errors and asks a question that will be ringing through newsrooms everywhere:
"We were all wrong again and again — and the consequences were devastating. Can anyone tell me why any of us should ever be asked, let alone paid, for our opinions ever again?"
And more amazing still: he faces up to the consequences of that question. Tom Friedman, yes Thomas Julius Friedman, actually walks the walk. You won't believe your eyes - I certainly didn't... but hurry and read it, before the NYTimes tries to retract this stunning moment of honesty: Tom Friedman's historic self-renunciation.
