For seven years, Paul Krugman* has been obsessed with President Bush. Everything that is bad in this country is President Bush’s fault. Nothing that is good in this country is President Bush’s doing. Guess what? Bush-hatin’ Paul says it’s time to stop focusing on President Bush. Don’t you love it? By the way, remember all that talk about President Bush being “divisive,” and how awful that was? Krugman wants progressives to be divisive. He simply hates all this talk about finding common ground, bringing people together, working together, being bipartisan, blah blah blah.

* “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).
