I'd never heard of Pamela Paul was before reading this piece, as I've generally ignored the Times columnists since 2016, but the description sounds spot-on for the sinecure that is landing an NYT op-ed gig.
But that statement about Friedman. Oy. It was true back in the Aughts yet remains ever green. Is he still getting column ideas from the cabby who gave him a ride in from the airport?
That description of Friedman could not be more perfect and spot on.

Agree; it definitely gave me a good laugh!
