Noted Columnist Channels His Inner Blogger

Paul Krugman starts off today's op-ed thus:

So the G.O.P. has found its issue for the 2008 election. For the next three months the party plans to keep chanting: “Drill here! Drill now! Drill here! Drill now! Four legs good, two legs bad!” O.K., I added that last part.

And the debate on energy policy has helped me find the words for something I’ve been thinking about for a while. Republicans, once hailed as the “party of ideas,” have become the party of stupid.

Glad to see his irritation coming to the surface. Of course, I don't know how we get the people who actually need to hear his message to read the NY Times in the first place, but maybe he'll get some of the talking heads to pick up on the idea.

Even if you already know what he's going to say, it worth reading the whole thing, if only to find out what he thinks the Republican's new slogan has become.
