    More, More, More

    Thank you, Glenn. Progressives have watched Tom Friedman's mass duping of malleable readers for the last eight years. He is the Bill Kristol of his particular constituency. When you talk about establishment Democrats being the most culpable group in our political class for what's gone on the last 8+ years, you should look to Tom Friedman as their journalistic counterpart. Like Kristol, he goes on television shows having been wrong about virtually everything, and feigns authority and knowingness and revising, revising, revising his cancerous reactionary response to 9/11.

    George Packer next, please?
