I think he was actually looking at his own previous searches. Turns out, it's Thomas Friedman who doesn't care about Barack Obama.

From King Lear that Dowd quoted today:

He's mad that trusts in the tameness

of a wolf, a horse's health, a boy's love, or a

whore's oath.

And when it comes to whore's oaths, she should know.

You know, if this was Deadspin, commenters would be clamoring for that picture to be tagged "nightmare fuel." (Also, there would be a lot more dick jokes.)

When I google "Thomas needs" into Google, I learn that he needs:
1.Proof
2.A Jew
3.A new lawyer, more generous fans
4.A tailor
5.to worry more about staying out of the big house
Thanks Google!

On another note, that picture makes me suddenly feel the need to get waxed.

Friedman's incredible wealth comes from his marriage to Ann Bucksbaum, whose wealth stems from building shopping malls worldwide. This is beyond class warfare. I have more respect for Rush Limbaugh in this regard, because at least he isn't a hypocritical piece of shit telling everyone else to "green up" as he writes columns from a $9-million, 11,000 square foot mansion bought from the proceeds of global shopping-mall development. Friedman is one baby boomer huckster who just needs to retire and shut the fuck up, because his unwillingness to live what he preaches is fodder for the right wing to point at entitled (neo)liberal baby boomer double standards.

And, yes, if you're going to keep your 11,000 square foot mansion at a comfortable 72 degrees and build shopping malls everywhere, then you really have no right to talk about the need for everyone else to find a new, greener way of living. Time for some new blood in this debate. The baby boomers are beyond redemption in this regard.

I just wish he would finally come out and admit he was wrong about Iraq.

Because, honestly, until he does that he has the credibility of a hooker telling you she really loves you.

Did you know that if you type in just the letter R, Robert Pattinson pops up? Um, I mean, not that I've ever googled Robert Pattinson...I heard some 15 year old girls talking about it on the bus. Or something like that.
