Writing in the New York Times, Paul Krugman:
Make no mistake about it, what we’re witnessing here is a catastrophe on multiple levels.

The utter absence of self-awareness in the man is astounding. If he actually saw what was in the mirror he would crawl into a hole and pull it down over himself.

You don't mean Peter, right?

You don't mean Peter, right?
I would have used second person to refer to Peter since he posted. And, as a longtime Uncommon Knowledge addict, he knows I would never risk going cold turkey by drawing his wrath. I would also point out that I did not mean you. Since you had not posted yet, the reference would have been far, far too vague.
But if you had guessed Obama, well, there is very little that is dismissive or cruel in the English language that could not be taken as referring to the living avatar of the awesome god of catastrophic bankruptcy (currently still in his mortal "hero" stage, but at the same time eternal and unchanging as the Platonic eidoi of a paper cut).
Sorry, I have been reading Steyn's obituaries again. By which I mean obituaries written by Steyn, not obituaries written for Steyn or obituaries from Steyn's personal library. Or web page.
Just to clarify.

If Krugman is upset, Boehner & Company must've done something right.

I'm with you. Nothing makes me half so happy as a sad New York Times editorial page. Maureen Dowd is calling President Obama Jimmy Carter.

I'm not convinced. Krugman wants to spend a $1 quadrillion to stimulate ourselves out of this mess; he also would have had the same reaction if the agreement were to spend only $999.999 trillion instead. Not enough for Krugman is still waaaay too much for me.
