There are very few things that I depend on, but brilliantly crafted takedowns of Thomas "The Mustache of Stupidith" Friedman by Matt Taibbi is one of them.
Recently, he held a reader to, "Come Up With the Ultimate Thomas Friedman Porn Title, " and notwithstanding some fine entries by his readers, Thomas Friedman won the contest with his recent column, "This Ain't Yogurt."
I can only conclude the Friedman was aware of Taibbi's effort, and he took appropriate action:
The winner, of course, is Thomas Friedman himself, whose very next column after this contest was announced was entitled, "This Ain't Yogurt."(%$# mine)
"Jesus F%$#ing Christ," noted a friend, impressed. "This Ain't Yogurt is more obscene than anything a mere commentator could think of."
"He took your contest," noted another "friend" of mine, "and shoved it right up your poop-chamber."
"Friedman's revenge," chirped a reader.
"Tom Friedman – human masterpiece machine," commented a fourth. "Matt Taibbi, Suck On This. Grab some bench, rook."
Tom Friedman, just this once, I take my hat off to you.
