He is a brilliant economist; I don't think there's much question about that-- well, actually, there are some articles on line arguing that, but anyway- Where he lost me was when he started losing his objectivity and honesty in dealing with Bush and his policies. I remember reading several stories about how he twisted facts against Bush and misled. (and really, he didn't need to do that!) I haven't really read him since he went behind the Wall so have no idea what he is sounding like now.

I haven't read much Krugman since he went behind the Select wall, but the few I have seen since then and most before remind me of Molly Ivins without the sense of humor. I understand others have questioned his economics but that was beyond my expertise. I put him in the knee-jerk anti-Bush crowd rather than most of the columnists I post, who clearly aren't Bush supporters but strike me as more interested in illuminating an issue than simply bashing away. Tell the truth, I haven't missed the Select crowd much. They were getting repetitious before the wall went up.
