NY Times' Friedman: Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld think you're stupid

[Poiuyt]

"George Bush, Dick Cheney and Don Rumsfeld think you're stupid," writes Tom Friedman, in an editorial that appeared in Friday's edition of The New York Times.

"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."

Friedman continues, "They think that they can get you to overlook all of the Bush team's real and deadly insults to the U.S. military over the past six years by hyping and exaggerating Kerry's mangled gibe at the president."

He adds, "The Bush team has created a veritable library of military histories ... all of which contain the same damning conclusion offered by the very soldiers and officers who fought this war: This administration never had a plan for the morning after, and we've been making it up -- and paying the price -- ever since."

1. Gee Tom...

it only took you 6 years to figure this out.

Wow. Color me impressed. :sarcasm:

3. Seems this last desperate liefest against Kerry has been the last straw for

any journalist with a scrap of integrity left in them.

The blistering Friedman is giving BushInc here is a pleasant byproduct of the ridiculous ordeal. Some people in the media take their cues from Friedman.

2. Friedman has been called "a mustache in search of a brain" by a

DUer. I just wish I could remember who came up with that! Describes Friedman perfectly.

4. How many Friedmans are we up to now?

At least he's finally figured it out.

5. You know the State Department did create a plan before the invasion

but the Pentagon trashed it, just as Cheney trashed the Hart-Rudman report.
