Kudos to John Kerry from Paul Krugman
October 31, 2005

When Gerald Ford was sworn in as President upon the resignation of Richard Nixon, he told us that “our long national nightmare is over.” Paul Krugman writes about our current nightmare:

Let me be frank: it has been a long political nightmare. For some of us, daily life has remained safe and comfortable, so the nightmare has merely been intellectual: we realized early on that this administration was cynical, dishonest and incompetent, but spent a long time unable to get others to see the obvious. For others - above all, of course, those Americans risking their lives in a war whose real rationale has never been explained - the nightmare has been all too concrete.

Krugman explains how the nightmare is based upon the fradulence of the Bush Administration. In order for it to end, politicians and the media must report the truth, and more politicians must do what John Kerry has done:

So the Bush administration has lost the myths that sustained its mojo, and with them much of its power to do harm. But the nightmare won’t be fully over until two things happen.

First, politicians will have to admit that they were misled. Second, the news media will have to face up to their role in allowing incompetents to pose as leaders and political apparatchiks to pose as patriots.

2. The nightmare doesn't...

...end until we restore free and fair elections. That's not going to happen without a revolution.
