It was most enjoyable seeing Paul Krugman throw yet another temper tantrum because people smarter than he is are mounting a successful effort to stop bad policies he happens to support.
To Krugman an effort to oppose a policy he supports is evidence of vast conspiracies (right wing and otherwise), medieval thought processes and/or ironically enough bitter people lashing out.
Paul, you really should look up the word "projection". It will help you understand all those feelings you've been having since the 2000 election.
