And his devastating take-down of New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman is one of many jewels that drip from his mouth.

My initial answer to that is that Friedman’s language choices over the years have been highly revealing: When a man who thinks you need to break a vase to get the water out of it starts arguing that you need to invade a country in order to change the minds of its people, you might want to start paying attention to how his approach to the vase problem worked out.

Brilliant.
