Sentence of the day, Jason Linkins of the Huffington Post:

And The New York Times' Thomas Friedman has aided this delusion by blundering around in a fog of his own thought-flatulence, wondering where the "grand bargain" was. (The "grand bargain" was always available via download.)

I have read no more descriptive phrase of the Brooks-Friedman genre than this.  This really should become some kind of meme.
