Krugman: Self-inflicted confusion

[Doctor_J]

My hero has jumped the shark. HIs column today is as bizarre as anything the right-wing loonies have concocted: Here are a few of the most reality-challenged:

"After Barack Obama’s defeat in Pennsylvania, David Axelrod, his campaign manager, brushed it off: “Nothing has changed tonight in the basic physics of this race.”
He may well be right — but what a comedown. A few months ago the Obama campaign was talking about transcendence. Now it’s talking about math. “Yes we can” has become “No she can’t.” "

"But how negative has the Clinton campaign been, really? Yes, it ran an ad that included Osama bin Laden in a montage of crisis images that also included the Great Depression and Hurricane Katrina. To listen to some pundits, you’d think that ad was practically the same as the famous G.O.P. ad accusing Max Cleland of being weak on national security.

It wasn’t. "

Sure. Conflating Obama with Osama is much less negative than conflating Max Cleland with Osama

and this doozy:

"Mrs. Clinton has been able to stay in the race, against heavy odds, largely because her no-nonsense style, her obvious interest in the wonkish details of policy, resonate with many voters in a way that Mr. Obama’s eloquence does not."

MUAHAHAHAHA. Yes, the voters can't get enough shrill, negative, right-wing pandering.

1. I've wondered for months what position Hillary had promised him

He sounds so desperate, its almost as if his future career is riding on her winning.

2. It's so obvious. Barack should offer him a job. Something harmless but important-sounding.

Secretary of Bunting or something.

4. Not a bit biased, are you, sweetie?

It's good that you have the herd to help you think. Isn't it comforting the way you all think exactly the same?
