But still a better brand of tawdry than Perry running on his record of executions, for example.
Bush, however, managed to turn the attack into cheerleading for an attack on a country irrelevant to the bombings, several thousand US deaths and untold numbers of Iraqi deaths, and he managed to do it with evidence that appears to be somewhere between flimsy and fabricated. Bush pretty much deserves whatever Krugman can give him. I don't think his neo-con objectives justify any of the crap he slung.

I went to read his column just now and it's a new one about the moralization of debt and how it's fucking up the European response to their crisis. It was good. And judging from the above, I think I know what he said about Giuliani and Bush and 9-11, which is nothing that hasn't been said a thousand times before, so I'll skip reading that. Cheers.
