Tom Friedman of the ever less influential New York Times was again a guest of David Gregory of the ever less influential Meet the dePressed this morning. We watched so you don’t have to.

Tom is revered we think, because like John “Bolt-Neck” Kerry, he married rich, uses big words slowly, speaks jibberish about important matters, and gains energy from bolts of lightening.  Unlike Secretary Kerry, Tom even exposes his inner thoughts (for what they are) such as wishing that the United States of America could, for a day, be ruled by the Fearless Leaders of the People’s Republic of China. Really. He wrote an entire column in support.

In a display of “progressive,” Liberal, left-wing nonsense today, Tom, one of the world’s worst witters, demonstrated why he’s one of its worst thinkers too!

In explaining why there is no clear path to democracy in Syria he cited as an analogy, South Africa’s journey into the modern era.  His example?  Well, they had a Nelson Mandela and there is no unifying leader in the Syrian opposition and there are various factions vying for authority.

Well, yes. And of course it counts that South Africa wasn’t Arabic, Middle Eastern, Muslim, Jihadist, Sharia lawed, or engaged in civil war.  Add to that South Africa’s democratic processes including a history of representative elections – ye, even during Apartheid – and it’s hard to imagine a worse analogy. And we have imagination!

Now, why would Tom analogize so poorly? Because the left always creates straw men, false dichotomies, and jibberish to confuse the masses and create challenging sounding dilemmas that only they can resolve. But, if one employs our favorite tool for dissecting logical fallacies, Occam’s Razor, one can separate the bullshit from the apple butter. And separate Tom Friedman from the intelligent.  Simply, there are no analogies to the Syrian kerfuffle because it is Arab against Arab, Middle Easterner against Middle Easterner, Muslim against Muslim, Jihadi against Jihadi, Sharia lawed, and shares only civil war with any other similarly situated country . . . which doesn’t exist.

But, he did marry rich. Very rich. Poor girl.
