Is it just me, or are the 9/11 commemorations oddly subdued?
Actually, I dont think its me, and its not really that odd.
What happened after 9/11 and I think even people on the right know this, whether they admit it or not was deeply shameful. Te atrocity should have been a unifying event, but instead it became a wedge issue. Fake heroes like Bernie Kerik, Rudy Giuliani, and, yes, George W. Bush raced to cash in on the horror. And then the attack was used to justify an unrelated war the neocons wanted to fight, for all the wrong reasons....

That is what I came here for. The comment thread for that article can be found here... Agreed, me too.
I found it cathartic to post replies to his OTHER articles where he wasn't too much of a coward to allow comments.

If that venomous, vile, fecal pinko POS Krugman ever ventures south of the Potomac, I suggest he should have his affairs in order beforehand. Because
I'm on the other riverbank, and there's already a
looooong line forming behind me.
"But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: for men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away, for his name is Obama."

Investing in defense companies after 9/11 does not automatically translate to having caused 9/11, if that’s what you’re implying.

"Conscience of a Liberal"...Liberals have a conscience? Who knew? I'm not even sure they have a "conscious" most of the time.

I think he was hired specifically to write columns attacking Bush. As far as I know he has never said one favorable thing about Bush in any of his columns (even Biden had something nice to say about Bush at the ceremony in Shanksville on Saturday).
This morning "Fox & Friends" mentioned the "fake heroes" bit in a teaser but I didn't get to watch the actual report, so I had assumed it was in an editorial from The New York Times. That it was just the rabid dog Krugman perhaps makes it a little better--but there's still no reason for him to be paid to write his tripe.

The most hated vicious, nasty, perpetually drunk democrat party hack in America at this particular moment.
