Liberal Lighthouse - Paul Krugman's editorial in today's New York Times takes aim at the "fake populism" of GW. According to Krugman, Bush is all smiles, back-slaps, and photo-ops with the humble jane/joe, while wielding a scalpel behind his/her back. Krugman's partisanship is obvious, and maybe ALL politicians are like this - so perhaps Bush shouldn't be singled out; but Krugman's argument resonates as valid.
