With Tom Friedman and David Brooks slugging it out to see who can dominate "Stupidest Take By The Most Cartoonishly Terrible New York Times Pundit" contest, it sure feels like the high cotton days of Dubya Administration --
-- all over again.
Both men have had long, long careers which could be fairly summed up as a series of horrendously bad political takes interspersed with maudlin hand-wringing, but as beloved Sulzberger family house-pets, neither man ever has to worry about being market-corrected into obscurity and unemployment.

Over in another world Mark Halerin ;eaves his position of entitlement to spend more time shedding tears with his family.
No, his brilliant "career" is not over.
He is just entering the free market good old boys free agent sweepstakes.
MSNBC? FOX? Sinclair?
Who will purchase this free agent that has never hit above the Mendoza line. To provide power and offense to their corporate elite line up?
It beings to surface the need for a new catorgory title for the media for these tye style figures.
We can call it, "Fake Reality" punditry.
When the news isn't splashy and entertaining enough. When the truth leaves you wanting.
When the facts aren't what big advertisers are fond of.
It is Fake reality punditry time. To be washed down with a bottle of Coronavirus.
Never have heard that Friedman clip. Boy he sounded tough there at the end, when he was talking about other people knocking on doors with guns in their hands. Just a damn shame he couldn't be one of them because reasons.
The beginning part sounded like he was channeling Wm. F. Buckley
