I don't think the fully confrontational partisanship will work, even when you're absolutely right, but I have to admire Krugman's vision and courage. Then, Krugman was the one - probably the only one - who held the progressive torch high and spoke the unspeakable all the time during the Bush dark years, while everyone else just hoped for some bipartisanship, eventually and evidently caved in to Bush's partisanship. Now, Krugman isn't afraid of being partisan or being unfair, and proclaims what he believes in.

While I don't endorse the partisan Krugman, it's a shame to see people start to go after Krugman and distort him without understanding him.
