Tom Tomorrow proves Thomas Friedman is a liar.

[Eric J in MN]

On "The Majority Report" with Janeane Garafolo tonight, cartoonist Tom Tomorrow proved that NY TIMES columnist Thomas Friedman is a liar.

Friedman wrote that outsourcing is fine, and cited an anecdote about a man who lost his job to outsourcing but got rich selling t-shirts saying "I lost my job to India and all I got was this lousy t-shirt."

Tom Tomorrow did research and found that
a) the person selling the t-shirt hasn't lost his jobs, but he's worried about outsourcing
b) he only made ten dollars

1. that's why Friedman works at the NY Times

he fits right in there, it's like a fiction journal over there.

2. bwahahahahaha hahahahaha bwahahahaha

that is too, too funny. Oh to be caught spreading a clearly foolish anecdote and finding out how stellarly incorrect (duh!) it was. The guy got rich... a whopping $10 dollars... okay kids don't worry about losing your job... you can sell tshirts and make back.... oh a fraction of ONE hour of your previous pay ... and Friedman will call you rich!

3. Friedman's brain is a vacuum

He warps time space continuum to find some tenuous framework for his contorted, specious, and mostly irrelevant points. Logic-in-a-box.

Almost as bad as the pedantrist, Safire.

4. Hey, ten dollars is like 50 bucks to an Indian

5. Friedman, you are a puke, make that a repuke.
