Tom Friedman really tore into Palin ..
Edited on Wed Oct-08-08 11:20 AM by TheCoxwain
He was fairly quiet thus far on the pick ... but really ...this one pretty much destroys her and McCain

I am not posting it as most of you must have read it ..


My other observation is that he normally does not go after people like the way he did in that piece

Edit : Here is the Link

5. Good quote:
"Sorry, I grew up in a very middle-class family in a very middle-class suburb of Minneapolis, and my parents taught me that paying taxes, while certainly no fun, was how we paid for the police and the Army, our public universities and local schools, scientific research and Medicare for the elderly. No one said it better than Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes: 'I like paying taxes. With them I buy civilization.'"

7. How about posting those first four paragraphs
as we area are allowed to do on this board. A post like this with a tease and no abustance whatsoever, is worse than not posting at all. If you've discovered something wonderful, then take a minute to share the highlights with the rest of us. Rude.
