Paul Krugman: Meanwhile, in an alternative universe...
http://krugman.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/11/05/meanwhile-in-an-alternative-universe/

Known as the Wall Street Journal opinion pages,

The treatment President Bush has received from this country is nothing less than a disgrace. The attacks launched against him have been cruel and slanderous, proving to the world what little character and resolve we have. The president is not to blame for all these problems. He never lost faith in America or her people, and has tried his hardest to continue leading our nation during a very difficult time.

Our failure to stand by the one person who continued to stand by us has not gone unnoticed by our enemies. It has shown to the world how disloyal we can be when our president needed loyalty — a shameful display of arrogance and weakness that will haunt this nation long after Mr. Bush has left the White House.


Yes, George W. Bush’s status as the most disliked man ever to occupy the White House shows that America was not worthy of him. And attacks on Bush gave aid and comfort to his enemies — unlike the firehose of abuse that will be directed against President Obama, which will of course be an expression of true patriotism.

1. Fuck the WSJ. It was among the first national papers to contend that Gore
was attempting a coup d'etat in 2000.

So, FUCK YOU, Editorial Board of WSJ. Just FUCK YOU and your war mongering, lying, thieving,
murdering, piece of shit Bushie Boy.

Let him reap what he sowed.

3. WSJ... increasingly going the way of the NY Post
Krugman needs his meds.

He was on the fence along the border with Sanity for a few weeks, debating going with the Mutiny against the right-wing. But he fell backwards.
