Come, I will conceal nothing from you. I just did not not finish this Tom Friedman article: I didn’t even really start it. I read the excerpts over at Hot Air Headlines, got as far as Friedman begging the GOP to sit out 2012, and had this clip pop into mind:
I know that this is kind of embarrassing to admit, but I in fact liked Happy Gilmore. It had its moments, and the one above is one of them.
Anyway, felt no real need to finish the article after that. Or start it, really.
Why apologize for liking the only genuinely good Adam Sandler movie?
I read the Friedman piece. And I actually have to admit that I admire the intellectual…let’s say, PURITY…of a man who can write the sentence “You can’t address the great challenges America faces today with [the Republican Party’s] incoherent mix of hardened positions” and then goes on to write an article about solutions to those challenges. Solutions which, needless to say, are an incoherent mix of hardened positions.
