I understand his argument and even agree with parts of it, but Krugman has now crossed the line from Obama critic to Clinton shill. Witness his op-ed today about the Fed and financial markets. It’s full of interesting observations about the economy that help a layman like me understand this increasingly chaotic and complex element of our national debate. But he ends the whole thing with a non sequitur Clinton talking point:

At least we can now put all his past denials behind us and acknowledge that for all intents and purposes Paul Krugman is now a Clinton surrogate.
