| A Right and Proper Fisking of Krugman (A Righteous Smackdown) |
| 2005-01-09 |
| Krugman, channeling Dowd, takes us on one of his meandering faux-intellectual excursions, under the thin lame pretense he's considering writing a political novel. But he should check with Stephen Green, before he embarks - Green's got his number and shows us Krugman is, in sum, less than zero. Excerpt: In my bad novel, crusaders for moral values will be driven by strange obsessions. One senator's diatribe against gay marriage will link it to "man on dog" sex. Another will rant about the dangers of lesbians in high school bathrooms. Let's not stop there. Let's include a married governor, of a state from where you could watch the Twin Towers burn and fall, who put his gay lover in charge of state-level homeland security, in an office conveniently close to the governor's mansion. Is that far enough? No? Then how about gay activists who hate the President, even though he ended a regime that used to topple stone walls onto gay men? Your faux-novel should R.I.P., Kruggie. It's a bridge too far. So is your column, but hey, you work for a fool moonbat, so you're safe for a moment or two longer. Stick to being an asshat. You've got that one nailed. |
