I’m enjoying Paul Krugman’s* war against Barack Obama. Obama’s sin is being reasonable. Where Obama sees adversaries, Krugman sees enemies. Where Obama sees conciliation, Krugman sees capitulation.

* “Op-Ed columnist Paul Krugman has the disturbing habit of shaping, slicing and selectively citing numbers in a fashion that pleases his acolytes but leaves him open to substantive assaults” (Daniel Okrent, “13 Things I Meant to Write About but Never Did,” The New York Times, 22 May 2005).
