You can get paid for this?
Paul Krugman's column this morning, thankfully sequestered behind the New York Times separation fence, is nothing but a long series of out-of-context quotations of other people calculated to remind us that all has not unfolded as the Bush administration predicted. Krugman's lefty crowd, out of power and unaccountable for its own silliness, will eat up this hackery as it does all his most partisan stuff, but as a column in a newspaper that claims standards of some sort it is lamest thing I've seen in ages. Any "Large Mammal" blogger would be embarrassed to publish such a thing.
If it weren't for the fact that he is the favorite columnist of the average New York Times reader, it would be amazing that the paper keeps giving Krugman all that priceless real estate.
