Hey stupid!
Paul Krugman in the NYT has an opinion about many of his fellow Americans:
the G.O.P. has found its issue for the 2008 election. For the next three months the party plans to keep chanting: “Drill here! Drill now! Drill here! Drill now! Four legs good, two legs bad!” O.K., I added that last part. And the debate on energy policy has helped me find the words for something I’ve been thinking about for a while. Republicans, once hailed as the “party of ideas,” have become the party of stupid…
Sad to say, the current drill-and-burn campaign is getting some political traction. According to one recent poll, 69 percent of Americans now favor expanded offshore drilling — and 51 percent of them believe that removing restrictions on drilling would reduce gas prices within a year…one of America’s two great parties believes that when it comes to politics, stupidity is the best policy.
Compare and contrast: Mr. Krugman and his colleague Mr. Herbert.

One of his fellow Americans has an opinion about Mr Krugman. Let’s just say Times Select allowed him to keep some of his credibility that might otherwise have been lost.
