Paul Krugman is the Mack

This op-ed by the Krugmeister just reminds me how great it is to have him around. When I was unemployed and angry and low on hope, before I discovered blogs, one of things that got me through were his columns. This particular column is quite snarky (the righty blogosphere would say shrill), but it hammers home something very true and very important about the Bush administration- their aggressiveness, unilateralism, and pandering may serve them in the short term, but in the long term it leads to real problems.

In the long term it translates into incompetence. Considering the myriad challenges our nation faces, do we really need this petulant nincompoop as president?
