Krugman one step closer to booby hatch
Defends Kerry's post-Vietnam treasons while assailing Bush
Phew ... gotta admire Krugman for branching out these last few years ... instead of being satisfied to write muddle-headed, paranoid columns on economics, Paul has gotten into geo-politics, where boobs like he and Kerry can not only keep us poor and stupid, but get us DEAD.
Paul: your boy made his 4 MONTHS of service the main reason to elect him ... there are cracks in his story ... the Cambodia tale has unraveled and it looks like the first Purple Heart was the result of his own gunfire deflecting back at him.
REAL heroes don't clobber you over the head with their heroism. Kerry does. That's abnormal behaviour unless you're trying to hide something, which he is: the aid and comfort he provided the enemy upon returning from Vietnam and a twenty year (He was in the Senate -- did you know that? I realize he doesn't bring it up very often and his "achievements" are puny) record of being wrong on nearly every issue of defense, intelligence and foreign policy.
Oh, then there's the schizophrenia of glorifying his service in a war he once roundly condemned: which was it -- a dreadful mistake or was he "defending this country" as he now claims. Paul, we realize Kerry has promised to raise the tax rates on the wealthy for whom you have so much scorn and that this hope brings stardust to your eyes much as a hunk wearing a varsity football sweater and driving a hot red convertible makes a schoolgirl's knees weak.(phew) But some of us -- including, apparently, a large majority of veterans polled who support that mean old George "Buddy Hinton" Bush -- have real doubts about Kerry-Heinz' fitness to lead.
Oh, and Paul -- thanks to my tax cuts I was able to send the SwiftVets $250!
Say hi to Nurse Ratched for us!
Almost a year ago, on the second anniversary of 9/11, I predicted "an ugly, bitter campaign - probably the nastiest of modern American history."[The Ponderosa: Wow. What foresight. So did my cats.] The reasons I gave then still apply. President Bush has no positive achievements to run on.[The Ponderosa: Reviving a moribund economy shocked by 9/11, a burst bubble and the '90's corporate scandals, unseating two terror regimes and killing the Jihadists in their home towns -- these are not positive achievements for Krugman. Only a tax hike counts as a "positive achievement" in his fevered mind!] Yet his inner circle cannot afford to see him lose: .[The Ponderosa: That "inner circle" must include anyone hoping to avoid having a dirty bomb go off in his neighborhood.]if he does, the shroud of secrecy will be lifted [The Ponderosa: Shroud? has Paul been rifling through Maureen Dowd's fine washables again?!], and the public will learn the truth about cooked intelligence.[The Ponderosa: Apparently Krugman knows something that the US and British committees, who examined this possibility and found it untrue, do not.], profiteering.[The Ponderosa: What does this have to do with Michael Moore?], politicization of homeland security and more. [The Ponderosa: Bush intends only to protect wealthy donors and Halliburton muckety mucks from the modern day Minutemen!]
But recent attacks on John Kerry have surpassed even my expectations. There's no mystery why. Mr. Kerry isn't just a Democrat who might win: his life story challenges Mr. Bush's attempts to confuse tough-guy poses with heroism, and bombast with patriotism.."[The Ponderosa: Or puffery, exaggeration and treason.]
...
How have they been able to get away with it? The answer is that we have been living in what Roger Ebert calls "an age of Rambo patriotism." ."[The Ponderosa: Roger Ebert as an expert on geo-politics? Who next, Paul? Janine Barfalo?]
After 9/11, Mr. Bush had a choice: he could deal with real threats, or he could play Rambo. He chose Rambo. Not for him the difficult, frustrating task of tracking down elusive terrorists."[The Ponderosa: Paul should read the news more. This is happening every day.] ...
...
It should come as no surprise, then, that Mr. Bush - who must defend the indefensible - has turned to those who still refuse to face the truth about Vietnam.."[The Ponderosa: Paul's fave war: the commies won!
All the credible evidence."[The Ponderosa: After action reports filed by -- John Kerry!.], from military records to the testimony of those who served with Mr. Kerry, confirms his wartime heroism. Why, then, are some veterans willing to join the smear campaign? Because they are angry about his later statements against the war. Yet making those statements was itself a heroic act - and what he said then rings truer than ever. ."[The Ponderosa: Wojo, call the Good Humor men!
Mr. Kerry also spoke of the moral cost of an ill-conceived war - of the atrocities soldiers find themselves committing when they can't tell friend from foe. Two words: Abu Ghraib.."[The Ponderosa: Time to confirm Paul's reservation for a rubber suite at the Bellevue Hotel! ]
