Paul Krugman: Jerk, Part II

Showing what a fine colleague he must be, Paul "Wolfman" Krugman takes another shot at Daniel Okrent today:
It's not a pretty picture - which is why right-wing partisans try so hard to discredit anyone who tries to explain to the public what's going on.

These partisans rely in part on obfuscation: shaping, slicing and selectively presenting data in an attempt to mislead.

I'm Krugman's age and remember Chicago in those years. It's a much better place to live now than then. This is what happens when you get old though: yesterday seems better. It wasn't if you think a little and look around at how people live now. Krugman should know better.

I'm curious, JVL, when people accuse you of being dishonest, how do you respond?
