Glenn Greenwald continues to pull down Joe Klein's pants and I have little to add to what Glenn has written.

But this part struck me:

Several days ago, I referenced a Joe Klein post from January in which he called Paul Krugman an "ill-informed dilettante" and said Krugman made "a fool of himself" when Krugman argued against the Surge. Illustrating the Virtues of Beltway Seriousness, Klein complained that Krugman failed to study the Complex, Important Issues surroudning the Surge, unlike Serious Analysts like himself, Bill Kristol and Fred Kagan . . . After I posted that, I received an email from Krugman pointing out that -- directly contrary to what Klein accused him of -- Krugman had written a column months earlier, entitled "Arithmetic of Failure," discussing the military doctrine of counterinsurgency, and explaining why it was impossible for the U.S. military to succeed with this strategy. . .

What more can be said about Joe Klein World than the notion he espouses that he, a Beltway Gasbag, is a "serious" person while Paul Krugman, Princeton Economics professor, is not. Klein has lost all connection to reality.
