Like praktike's post above, Wolcott zeroed in on the remarkable timing of Tom Friedman's proposal on MidEast peace and Powell's resignation. But Wolcott made a PB&J sandwich out of 2 and 2:

I can exclusively report what finally drove Powell over the brink. Yes, he was bummed by years of being backstabbed by the neocon hawks, most of whom spent Vietnam masturbating in their dorm rooms. But the last straw was seeing and hearing Thomas Friedman on Tim Russert's CNBC weekend show, channeling Bush's voice to advocate that Powell devote himself exclusively to negotiating a peace deal between the Palestinians and Israelis--that he be dispatched to the Middle East deal and not to be allowed to return home until he had one, even if it took a year. Powell put aside his peanut butter sandwich, muted the remote, pondered all those airplane rides and diplomatic meals, and said to himself, "I'm too old for that shit." And the next morning tendered his resignation. Yet another Tom Friedman dream-scheme thwarted.

A Friedman "dream-scheme" should find its way into the lexicon STAT. BTW, the balance of Wolcott's entry is quite serious and seriously funny.
