(62,325 posts)assumed 'admired liberal' voice of authority, it will influence those of us who base our positions on information and mostly principle. The implication seems to be that if (fill in the blank) is FOR something, and we are AGAINST it, then surely we will rethink our position and fall in line with this person. It's an amazing assumption, perhaps some projection involved? For me, if someone I admire consistently takes wrong positions on important issues, I WILL rethink my position, but not on the issue, but on my own judgement of this individual.
I agree with you as I said already, if Krugman reads the little we do know thanks to those leaks, and still stands by those comments, he is not just wrong, but would be revealing something about himself that would lose him a lot of respect.
The very fact that it is 'secret' should concern him, that Congress can't get information they are ENTITLED to should concern him.
Glad at least he admits he should have 'waited' before making those comments.
