Lefty Blogger Tom Friedman Derangement Alert

Matt Yglesias: "Based on my reading Friedman probably voted for Barack Obama and probably votes for Democrats more often than not." Please. The man is a fucking Democrat. He's a liberal. Maybe he's too much of a globalization booster for your taste (but hey, Paul Krugman is pretty freakin' pro-globalization), maybe he's not Edward Said when it comes to the Israeli-Palestinian diplomatic shitpile, maybe he's a porn-stached hypocrite, but let's get serious, people! "Probably votes for Democrats more often than not." That's like saying David Brooks probably votes for Republicans more often than not. OF. FUCKING. COURSE. HE. DOES.

I think I need a Sullivan-esque award for worst cases of "lefty blogger Tom Friedman derangement syndrome" - I guess it should probably be called the Matt Taibbi Award.
