Shock Doctrine, U.S.A. [Wisconsin: Krugman compares Koch Brothers to Missing Billions in Iraq]
NYTimes ^ | Published: February 24, 2011 | Paul Krugman

You mean Frank Rich? I'm sure he'll try to top Krugman's idiocy soon.

I don't know why but I clicked the link and read this nonsense by Krugman in full. So now I have to get out the can of RAID and kill all the cooties on my hard drive.

And give myself a slap on the back of my head for knowing it would be nonsense but reading it anyway!
