"Cheap Shots" and "Bad Faith Economics"

As usual, our favorite Nobel laureate Paul Krugman hits the Rethug nail on its head. In this morning's column, Krugman shows us how the Rethugs are trying desperately to discredit the recovery plan through "cheap shots" and "bad faith economics," and why (hint: think 21st century FDR).

Also on the NT Times op/ed front this morning, Wee Willie Kristol acknowledges the "end of a conservative era" while we acknowledge that in italic script under his last sentence is written "This is William Kristol's last column." So let's cheer the end of a Kristol era as well (Yaaaay!), although it will mean the Times will have to lay off all the fact-checkers they had to employ to clean up after Wee Willie's columns every Monday.
