    If there is any doubt...

    that Paul Krugman is a POS partisan hack, it should be erased after this column yesterday. Only an unreasonable mind would continue to think he isn't a vitriolic dickhead.

    What an ass.

    I waited until today to post this out of respect for those who were lost on that tragic day. Krugman couldn't even have the decency to refrain from posting this column on the anniversary or 9/11. And he didn't have the courage to allow any disagreement with him by not allowing comments on his vile hatred of those on the right. Again, what an ass.

    I saw that and while I agree his timing was not good, he makes some very valid points in the article. He should have waited until at least today to issue it, if not a month from now.

        What valid points?

          He's right, and IPU has just reinforced his point.

          IPU calling anyone a partisan hack is simply decadent.

            9/11 is a national day of shame? Really? W was a pretty bad president. Krugman is an asshat.

              I'm done arguing politics, but I would invite you to think about it from an opposing perspective. Why do you think one might consider 9/11/2001 to be a day worth forgetting? I don't mean to patronize with an exercise in empathy, but I don't think it'll be very hard, and I typically don't enjoy discussing politics on the internet.

                Nice. I'm beginning to see how that commentary would appeal to you.

                  Krugman didn't call 9/11 a day of shame. He said that much of what happened in the years after 9/11 was shameful. Like Krugman, I'm ready to stop letting a tiny handful of terrorists shape our national character for the worse.

                    The neo-cons highjacking the tragedy to start a war in Iraq. That was shameful.

                        While there is no doubt that the Iraq war was a bad idea (hindsight: Um, can I put $100,000 on the Cowboys to win the '93 Superbowl?), the idea that Bush was just looking for an excuse to go to war, and he was glad 9/11 came along so he could invade Iraq is silly.

                          Is Bush a neo-con? I don't really don't know.

                          However, I'm fairly certain the push to enter Iraq was more Cheney/Rumsfeld, who are unabashedly neo-cons.

                            How do you define neo-con? Also, what quote's/positions can you attribute directly to Cheney that categorize him as such. He's often portrayed by the left as a near Nazi, but I've never heard anything from him that suggests he is any farther right than Obama is left.

                            Also, what makes you so certain this was a Cheney/Rumsfeld push ? Everything I have read from insiders indicates that this was Bush's decision based on intelligence from the field. Is there something other than liberal talking points that directly supports your theory? Again, I hear this a lot, but I don't know of any concrete evidence to support it.
