But Krugman seems to have lost it with this piece. He normally tries to write “above” the rabble. I think he’s mad at himself and conservatives because he’s been forced to write about this “tea party” thing.

Who “forced” him?

Do editors commonly hold their writers at gunpoint?

I have no idea what, if anything, tea parties will ultimately accomplish but it’s better than sitting around the house complaining and doing nothing where no one can hear you but your dog.

If nothing else, they burrow under the left’s skin.
That’s good enough reason for me....:)
