Tom Friedman - Sartorial Train Wreck

Tom Friedman, Pulitzer Prize winning columnist of the New York Times, appeared on Meet the Press today primarily to discuss Iraq. While Tom took the time to get his nails done, apparently with polish - not a mere buffing, his tie was, beyond troubling. A multi-colored number that he must have acquired in 1982 at the Ford City Mall Chess King, it's safe to say that no animals were harmed in the manufacture of that tie.

On the same show, fellow NYT columnist, David Brooks was the other round table guest. I enjoy reading and listening to David's ideas. That said, is there another talking head more uncomfortable on television? Admittedly, he is operating outside his chosen medium, but he's been doing it for years now with no discernible improvement of his carriage.
