Friedman: Keep Supreme Leader Dick on for another term.


Friedman's brain is certainly fried.


Thinkprogress:
In his New York Times column yesterday, Tom Friedman said that if Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) is elected president, he should make Dick Cheney his vice president in order to more successfully “coerce” Iran:
I have no idea who is going to win the Democratic presidential nomination, but lately I’ve been wondering whether, if it is Barack Obama, he might want to consider keeping Dick Cheney on as his vice president. […]
And that brings me back to the Obama-Cheney ticket: When it comes to how best to deal with Iran, each has half a policy — but if you actually put them together, they’d add up to an ideal U.S. strategy for Iran. Dare I say, they complete each other. […]
In sum, Mr. Obama’s instinct is right — but he needs to dial down his inner Jimmy Carter a bit when it comes to talking to Iran, and dial up a bit more inner Dick Cheney.

Matt Yglesias calls it the Times’ “
worst op-ed day ever.”

Now there's a nightmare. Obama and his cousin Dick. A Dem President and a GOP VP. Well at lease Dick will be President as he will take President Obama out on the shooting range and kill him. That's what Dick does he thinks blacks are of less value then animals. I know Barbara Bush will think she's young again and the South still has slaves.

LOL! Friedman is on drugs, Chicago Native. I think Kittybowtie's last comment says it all.
