Is it possible for Friedman to be more of a PR flack whore for corporate america than he is being right now? I just hope karma comes back to this insect in BIG way real soon....

we can't find a blowhard expert on the Middle East in India to write for the NY Times.

3. I have received several call from India my stock answer is

"I do not talk to people in India who have taken a job away from an American." I then hang up.

One night they called me three times.

The first time they could not pronounce my last name.

The second time they did better.

The third time they only used my first name.

Each time it was a different person and each time they got my stock answer.

I think that if we refuse to talk to them it will have some kind of effect on outsourcing.

5. Friedman is a GOP/Corporate shill

But if his lame columns justifying out sourcing are the best argument they can come up with, then they are in deep trouble (which they should be)
